Re: Collectors' regrets
During the mid and late 90's (pre-Internet era) I decided to sell my entire CD collection (about 200 CD's) which included a major part of these old Thrash and Death Metal CD's. Nowadays they sell for 150-300 E a piece. I've thrown 1000's of Euros out of the window. 
Around 1990/91 you could purchase factory sealed US CD's (partly A5 sized cardboards from Roadrunner, New Renaissance etc...) for 1-2 D-Mark and vinyls for 3-5 DM that nowadays sell for 50 and much more Euros. If you only take Adrian - One step... LP that Hellon sold for more than 10 years for just 5 DM and nowadays ... or the Amoreen MLP, 5 DM. LOL

That was almost 15 years before my first decent monthly wages, so...Prowler wrote: ↑Sun Oct 05, 2025 8:51 amAround 1990/91 you could purchase factory sealed US CD's (partly A5 sized cardboards from Roadrunner, New Renaissance etc...) for 1-2 D-Mark and vinyls for 3-5 DM that nowadays sell for 50 and much more Euros.

Re: Collectors' regrets
A decade or so ago I traded away a few 45s because I wanted something else. Turns out the thing I traded for is now worth $15 and the 45 I traded for it is now worth $200+...
Never attribute to malice, that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
