PM doesn't work indeed. I did not get those. But I will send all of you the, very short (only the bands I mentioned I think), list.

I've found the tapes, but it wasn't easy. At one point I really feared I had thrown them away with my other old tapes a few years ago. But, here it is. The very short list of demo's that I'm going to sell. I will sell them on Ebay in the coming weeks and I will email the interested people when they are up. All these demo's can be checked out on Metal Archives/Encyclopaedia Metallum.

Ice Age - Demo 88 (really good swedisch girl band, Megadeth style, the only band of whose fanclub I actually was a member)
Ice Age - General Alert
Jagannath - Crionic Substance (dutch technic metal, just found live stuff on youtube to my surprise!)
Jagannath - Demo 1
Elegy - Better than Bells (dutch progressive metal, )
Elegy - Elegant Solution (drummer Ed Warby of Gorefest, Ayreon and 11th Hour plays on this one!)
Solitude - And Justice for All (yes, the original demo! 1988, later added Aeturnus to their name, the demo includes Mirror of Sorrow with new singer Robert Lowe, added to the tape manually by guitarist John Perez. I've got the correspondence to prove it. This demo was later officially reissued with Opaque Divinity as bonus track)
Solitude Aeturnus - Demo 1989 (Mirror of Sorrow + Opaque Divinity)
The Instrumetal Syndicate - Aphrodite (will put this one on www.metal-archives.com first)

If anyone has questions or wants a heads up when I put them on Ebay, email me at metalmakker[a]gmail.com.

Why not letting us get a fair chance first instead of having to battle auction snipers?

Because to be honest, I have no idea what these demo's might be worth. It's not that I want to make the most money possible, but I also don't want to sell something for 10 euros when I could sell it for a hundred. Or sell something for 10 euros and find it back on ebay a month later selling for ten times that price.
Anyone who pays a lot of money for something on Ebay is a collector too I guess.

FYI not one of these is worth anywhere near 100 anything (unless you find some psychobidder) elegy demos regularly sell for between $30-40 on ebay.

Really? I have three of their demo's and thought they were worthless. Then again, Elegy is really not my kind of metal.
