I put a bid on the brat demo a couple of days ago, just the starting price though. Hope someone overbid me. Didn't know it was him. :(

As someone who never heard of this guy, despite the fact that he seems to have quite the bad rep... Why is he to be avoided at all costs?

There's a few factors :

1) Condition (G/G) .No one want to blow 99 USD for a copy with poor sound/PS.

2) Clueless seller (maybe band member??).I mean If you want to sell a record you must write proper Ad bravados like Private Metal / Obscure / L@@k / Unknown / Super rare.

I think what "G" is because the seller does not know about records grade (it is more reasonable)

Yes, all extra copies have already been scooped up. The band is aware of the ebay auction so they know their record is worth $$$.

He we go again

First this is a 4 song EP NOT a 2 song 45 so is $100 TOO much??

Then What is Rare? There are a lot more copies of Lord Ryur floating around then Hott Roxx.

Wait a year and then tell me this is Too much or this is NOT Rare

Warhead for example. The band was on this board selling copies for what? $20, Now try and find one for under $75-100, Is it Rare?

The remaining copies have already been sold (they were no more than 10) plus one sold on ebay, few known copies , of a nice 4 songs EP . I do not think that because they have found a 8-10 record copies is an easy to pick up.

The 10 Commandments of Heavy Metal Record Prices

1. If I want a copy, it is worth $5.
2. If I don't own it but I don't want it, it is worth $5.
3. If more than 2 copies are known to exist, it is worth $5.
4. If I don't like the music, it is worth $5.
5. If I have never heard of the record, it is worth $5.
6. If the band members have not been tracked down for spare copies, it is worth $5.
7. If a dealer found four copies 18 year ago, that counts as quantity and thus it is worth $5.
8. If I am trying to buy your copy, then any condition issue drops the price to $5.
9. If the record sold for $5 back in 1991, I should still be able to buy it today for $5.
10. If I own the record and someone else wants it, it is incredibly rare and is a killer album of pure, true, steel worth a small fortune even though it skips and is missing the cover.

The Golden Rule:
If I already own it, then the insanely high price of the last ebay auction is perfectly realistic. If it's on my want list, that auction was a one-time fluke and no sane person would ever pay more than $5.
