Gulp! 4 figure in what currency?

Anyhow I'd guess it makes my purchase of the Graven Image 12" at FarOut Records in Uppsala, Sweden some 11 or 12 years ago for 40 skr (about 4 EURO) a quite good one then...

What about Carnage (US) - S/T which is my by far most expensive buy ever (1500 skr - before there was a house, wife, car or any children... or a proper job for that matter)?

Sorry for introducing myself to this forum talking money... I´d better go to the Who are you?-thread for some proper introducing soon.

Not a big deal man, since you didn't start immediately asking for rare mp3s and stuff, everything's OK. Nice purchase you made with that Graven Image 12"

Solar eagle are canadian, not US, but yeah I assume it's way up there now.

4-figures in US$

Based on ebay auctions and popsike...

Crowhaven (if you consider it metal) is $350-500 and Hammeron is what, $500-600? Blue vinyl 'Sirens' once hit $750 but that may have been a fluke.

I don't know how much Amethyst or Dark Knight go for. Apparently Salems Wych is getting into the $250-$300 range lately.

Nothing else comes to mind for the 4-figure mark., paradooxx = $1500-1800, yellow avatar = $1500, graven image and leather nunn = $1200, Militia = $3000+, the others I'm not familiar with/have no sales data (I didn't check popsike for those, so there may be some figures listed for Iron cross or Liquid Earth).

Is that the iron Cross LP currently on ebay and in the 'insane ebay auctionss' thread? Any relation to the Iron Cross album from OPM Records?

How much would you have to cough up for the original LEGEND - Fröm The Fjörds nowdays? (If I got to pick just one top-dollar LP for free, I'd pick that one)

Have albums like EMERALD CITY or WHEELZ OF STEEL ever been offered for sale? Too unknown to reach the $$$$-mark perhaps?

How much is Savatage - Sirens on blue vinyl from PAR Rec. worth these days?

LEGEND - Fröm The Fjörds - Back in the day I sold a SS copy for 1000 but I don't think you could get that today. The last clean copy I saw went around 500

EMERALD CITY or WHEELZ OF STEEL, WITCH-SALAMS RISE Yes they are toooo unknown for a real price at this point. I have a few others that Rob P. saw this last summer at my house that would fall into the same thing. Great/Rare toooooo unknown to comand $$$ on the open market
