The most rare CDs by ebay?

I have some questions about all these high-priced cd's. Is the music that good which drives the price up or is just the rareity of the item? As a collector, do you care about the quality of the music within or is just about the collecting? Has any of you spent a hefty sum on a cd, only to find out that's it's complete shite when you actually play it?

Just curious.

Yep.Its all about how rare or hard to find a cd is.I've bought stuff before only to listen to it and think "Why the Hell did I give that much for this piece of crap" Haha.

Nope. I'm quite cautious actually. First off, I have to KNOW it's gonna be my style of music (thrash, mainly). Secondly, I have to find a review of it or get an idea of what the band sounds like from someone I trust. There are also money thresholds I WON'T cross (might be different if I won the lottery or something).

I don't care how rare something is, there are amounts that I am NOT paying. It also has to be something I'm fairly sure going in that I'll listen to more than once every few months. I don't collect just to say "Look what I have!", I do it because I enjoy the music (the value is just an added boon).

Sikkie offered me this copy for 175 EUR including registered shipping once

Only Crillson left for me to collect (the last ebay copy was as well sold by Sikkie, for $220) ...

...

Please, make that picture SMALLER!

By the way, one of the rarest metal Lps is on ebay once again, Paradoxx ...

I wonder for how much will it go? I know that the price on "private seller market" was $3500, and there were some rumours that one Greek bought a copy for 3500 EUR, but that are just rumours ... and since it's on ebay it should go for a lot less ...

$610!!!

Holy mother of christ...

I almost choked when I saw the price of this.

A demo, with bonus tracks? That must be a bootleg!?! I don't think it was released on CD in the first place.

Looking at the oh-so-generic back cover with no UPC code, no record label info, etc., I'd agree it's a bootleg too.

Actually, its the same one I have, and I bought it out of Relapse or Noise's catalog in the 90's. But it was cheap, that price is ridiculous

I think you may have a bootleg, DC. Please send it to me so I can have it verified. Thanks!


My R.I.P./No More Color CD looks alot like that one in style. Maybe made by the same folks.

Thats the only time it was released on CD, as far as I know. But no, you cant have it

Several months ago (maybe a couple years?) I saw Drop Dead's Death By Fusion go for $280.00.

Last night Bloody Cross's Coming Again went for $102.50.

Some classic Christian metal CDs (mainly of the thrash/death persuasion) consistently fetch $50+.

Yes, that Coroner demo CD is a bootleg, if I'm not mistaken it was released as a limited edition of 500 hand numbered copies.

Becasue it is a general thread, NOT about a specific band or album.

100$ for the first Exodus? Man, I'll sell mine now!

How about a trade Kmorg? I am sure I could find $100 worth of your wants. Pm me if interested.

I need that one, but 100$ seems a little overkill to me.

Dont forget to put "MEGA RARE" in the title or it wont attract the bidding schmucks
