Wow, I though that was worth around half, if that. I might have considered buying it with a price of €150 or so.

No its been 300 or more for quite some time now. You might find a beat up copy if you are satisfied with that for the €150 or so price.

^^ That actually seems pretty damn low doesn't it? I thought this was crazy rare even in Japan?

when i visited tokyo a few years ago, i found one shop has this LP with OBI. i could not remember the price exactly, but maybe 50,000 YEN or so (= over $550)

now i guess the price got lower because the album is finally available on CD. LP maniac doesn't care though.

Not as high as one could expect (almost $100 lower than the last ebay copy!), quite odd judging by nowadays ebay standards but I guess you never know?? Then again the price could've been a lot higher had it been sold by kreator72 or somebody else on the same level ...

Same seller sold Chronical Disturbance for $50 (over $100 on last pricekillers auctions) and 1st Majester for $40 (I guess that's pretty normal for it but it was also sold for over $100 in the past months ...)

I would easily pay $300US (for a nice mint copy) ...but not 300€!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$300US = $330AU; 300€ = $480AU!!!!!!!!!!

The Majester front insert was torn in two places, so that would explain the price.

I wanted that Chronical Disturbance, but I've got to hold back a little on my spending.

Not metal, but definitely relevant:

About that - since I got my s/s copy about a year ago I've seen at least 2 more from Swedish dealers for about €200 a piece. Perhaps someone found a batch?

Is this still in reference to Mistreater 'hells fire'? If not, disregard the following.
If so, there are a lot more copies of that one floating around out there than people realize. As I recall, and maybe John or Rob or someone can confirm, there were boxes (plural) of 'hell's fire' available back in the 90s. I guess they all got snatched up eventually, but I don't think this one is nearly as rare as some people think. The high demand is what keeps the price high, not rarity.

You are correct and the 45 is also not that rare. 500 copies pressed do not listen to this 100 crap (Just NOT TRUE)

I have tried explaining this to a few Young board members in the past who just don't want to believe (I just laugh)

I know there were loads of copies around of Hell's Fire some years back (at the time I was in a "70s hard rock is the only thing that is real" frame of mind for a few years and didn't pick it up). That's the main reason for not thinking it was as expensive as all that.
