I think maybe I just have to listen to it again. It was disappointing back when I bought it???
'Higher Form Of Killing' & 'Live To Die' both kick my ass tho'

Pricekillers001 usually sells for top prices simply he's the most known ebay old speed/thrash/heavy/... metal CDs seller on ebay (and in my opinion one of the finest too), and therefore just about everyone knows when he has something for sale, so the prices go higher or insane from time to time, or they can stay low as well.

1 example: Terror Fector he's selling is already on $47, and the last one he sold went for $12 or something ...

Wonder what this will go for. Never seen it for sale on ebay before. I sold my single this summer at 170 euros I think it was. :roll: Bad mistake I guess. Now it's 273 dollar the first day on ebay.

Not necessarelly. I've tried to unload stuff at ebay for half the price it sold for a week prior to my auction and my items ended up unsold. Many people check rattlehead auctions every week, they see the Iona single and place their bids. But most of the bidders wouldn't put in a search text like Iona every week so many would miss your auctions, hence lower price.
That's the reason why a few years ago a Flames of hell LP sold for €170. True, nominally not cheap but relatively, if you consider dealer prices of >€2000, a real steal.

By the way, Marquis de sade, $1500, okilee-dokilee. Reminded me of the following quote from the NWN forum:
"Yeah, that is a domain of collecting populated by sweatpants wearing 45-50 year old men with serious disposable incomes and high blood pressure."...about NWOBHM collectors

Well, at the same time I'm glad for the buyer. A guy from this forum too. :)

Not to mention that once an album gets reviewed on classicthrash.com it seems to take off price-wise.

I'm like roco with the Terror Fector CD. I scored it several months back for like $14 or so.

MARQUIS DE SADE $294 vs. EMPTY CONDOM BOX + PIC OF PANTIES $303

Where does this world go???? :D

But seriously, why did this copy sell for only 1/5 of the previous one, only because of the missing sleeve??
