The copy pricekillers was selling went for $30 less. I got mine for HALF this (and $25 less than pricekillers sold his for).
That Jewel CD has always sold for around the $100 USD mark the last several times that I've seen it up for sale on eBay.

I've only seen the last 2 pricekillers auctions. Both of his went for just under $90.

He WAS auctioning another before this one, but it was cancelled. I'm guessing he got a sweet off-eBay offer and pulled it down.

I think it is. Reminds slightly of early Helloween maybe...maybe a tad more aggressive and less given to the "epic" sound. Actually, now that I think about it, maybe slightly closer to Hell's Animals / Daily Horror News era Risk might not be a bad comparison. The singer is smoother and higher pitched than Heimi Mikus ever was, though.

Not metal, but definitely insane!

And it's not really all that good either. Standard psych with some pretty amateurish playing.

I like amateurish playing

"Amateurish" playing can be very charming - I really like the Shelder LP - but in Mystic Shiva's case, it detracts from the music IMO. It's an OK album, but not the holy grail of psych collecting that some are making it out to be. I'd much rather listen to Morgen or JD Blackfoot or DR Hooker or any of those.

Not only is this well over the regular eBay price of $35-40, but only a few hours after it ended I won this auction for a third the price! To top it off, when it arrived the other day, it came with a bunch of flyers, photos and even a hand written letter from a band member. Speaking of such things, is there a thread for sharing “surprises” you’ve found in items you’ve bought? I know I’ve heard lots of stories of people finding cool or unusual things tucked away inside a vinyl sleeve (and I have a few of my own to share).[/url]

I remember a few auctions that ended even higher some years ago!

I'm not psych rock's biggest fan on earth, but i've heard albums that were definitely better...

Yeah, that's a nice item! Seems to consistently sell in the $100-200 range depending on condition and having all the other stuff intact. I remember seeing one of these in the record store back when I was in college; I think it was $50. Of course, I was a broke college kid at the time; I could live on $50 for over a month
