Almost (...) correct price http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fear-God-within ... 5ae260fae0

A "new" price winner http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sacrificial-for ... 2314168b86

and to think that Nosferatu here in Catania had dozen of copies for 10.000 lire each one (about 5 euro) back in time ...

And for the angle "early closed auctions" http://www.ebay.com/itm/cd-Detente-Reco ... 3a6a6a0d05

I asked to the seller for curiosity and he replied "The CD has damage. I can not sell it anymore"

Oh yes I'm SO believing it :)

Why would he end it early if there was already a low-ish (for that disc nowadays) buy it now price? Makes no sense.

With Fear of God, I wish I could find the LP for cheap, the CD seems much more common :(

How do you find out what the bidders name is? On the american ebay site it just says 6***6 ( 295) instead of their name.

check the seller's feedback list. many cases you can find who he is from there.

I have a couple of Wench Flyers oddly enough. Never heard their music though.

Nice. About a week ago the original was sold for 40€ (auction style listing) on German ebay.

Reading all these comments about bootlegs, it must REALLY suck to be a cd collector. You have my sympathies...

Vinyls market will be soon at the same % level of bootleging ... and even worse by time as IMHO "they" have realized it's more lucrative to focus in there ^^

One can always consider it as an added challenge :) Most semi-serious OOP CD gatherers like myself (I avoid the word collector on purpose) can still distinguish a boot from an original when they have it with 99,9% accuracy, so it is not all bad.
