I was thinking of bidding on the Terror demos as I would love to have them, but then I realised that there are no pictures of the tapes. So I guess all standard blank TDK tapes right??? :(

drgoon_jpn : sold 273 items, average sale price per item = $37
kreator72 : sold about 100 items, average = $33
thallos81 : sold 211 items, average = $26
pricekillers001 : sold about 350 items, average = $22
apoisontree : sold 66 items, average = $21

of course, they are not selling same items.
Where can you see the average?

if you use internet explorer, click right mouse button, there is [Export To Excel] (or something like that) menu. it is simple after exporting to excel.

Just add up the total amount of sales & divide by number of items sold :?
:wink:
:D

Well I thought that there's an automatic ebay option that can do that for you, I don't really want to do that manually ...

When I was selling about 100 CDs back in february I got about $29 for a CD (Starting prices were usually the lower average price of certain CD and I also had buy it now options for all CD, at the higher average price), and then again I sold some stuff (I think around 80?) and the average price was around $17 - of course I had less rare CDs for sale that time!

I asked him for a picture of the Black shepherd demo and it was just a standard tape! While the original has a sticker with artwork etc on it!
He then sold the tape to Astaroth from this forum, but he ofcourse knew it was fishy when he got it. He got a refund I think, but in the seller's feedback you can see he then made a second chance offer to the second highest bidder who bought it. And now he sold that tape again. So he's knowingly selling homemade bootlegs. Shit bootleg demo seller #50 on ebay, and people will loose lots of money again.

I wanted to buy the Grotesque demo from that guy, but skipped it as the auctions reeked of home-made bootleg shit...

If you learned the hard way, why does he still have 100% feedback? He can't even give you retaliaton feedback!

the question below in the Q&A-section sounds strange:
There is No Artwork on the Other Side of the Cover, Tape was Given out Before the 250 that where made where released. Tape and Cover are in Band Members Hand Writing. Best Regards Bob

It's the demo, but at the same time it's not...

About the Salem. In private the seller told he got the demo from some bargain lot, so he does not know who sent the demo nor the previous owner at all. So my question is how he can say it was released before official demo? Plus he throws in 90s Salem sticker and access card. Plus in real "Destruction till death" times Zeev was the only guy in the band who corresponded with the underground world. This is BAD for the buyer and WIN for the seller.

Yeah, but I think Yosuke will re-release early Salem stuff this year anyway.
