Those CD auctions have become to retarded to make sense, really unbelievable; fincial crises my ass. I've noticed on ebay that LP's are becoming more affordable then it used to be. Hope they will catch normal prices in years to come. Tapes are very hot too nowadays. People are blowing their money on bootleg tapes rather then a real collector item on vinyl.

I must say, that thought passed through my mind!

Is that thing that rare? I thought if I made $30-$40 on it I would have done good. I NEVER expected $200+!

People have turned the logic upside down...a starting price for an old CD should be 5 dollars. If it's rare and/or great music the price should rise. But nowadays people assume any old thrash CD is worth 50 dollars. Unless it's super crap and/or flooding the market in great numbers, that's the price.

I should have bid on this, if only to resell. There is no bootleg copy floating around, is there (I assume if there was it would show up more often)?

The last few weeks many copies came around on E-bay. Maybe the first bootlegs??

Hmmm.. you are right, way too many copies showing up within a 2 week period. Though 2 of the completed were definitely legit, and still went for less than normal price. But it definitely appears a bootlegger got their hands on a copy finally. But I'm happy enough with my €5 LP, so not really worried.

And look at the guy trying to sell the Target/Holy Moses boot for $100

If that sells, I will eat my hat

@gigadeth
May I ask you a question since you are living in China? I've seen Jap CD auctions on eBay and many of those sellers are located in China. Also looking at some Chinese Metal forums (yeah I can read Chinese), it appears that many Chinese collectors actually own some very nice Jap pressings (CD and LP). I remember once there was a Chinese seller on a forum trying to sell his Witchfinder General Jap CD (which is very rare to see anywhere). It seems to me like Jap CDs are pretty easy to come by in China? Do you have any idea those Jap CDs, in most cases, are originals or maybe just some "hi-quality" bootlegs that are circulating in the local market?

i know well some chinese ebay sellers are selling japanese CD on ebay. but i don't think they are bootleg. first, most of them is not rare. so it is not good idea to make bootleg of them, you know. as they are not rare, it is easy to get them for reasonable price. some of them are selling some rare japanese CDs, but you know many chinese guys used to buy many CDs from ebay, and some chinese guys (including me) used to go to japan to buy cds. so it is not strange they sell some rare items on ebay.

china has a lot of people.

Not the nicest thing to hear rumors about Target bootleg as I just bought a spare copy for a decent price in order to trade it, but honestly I don't think that there is a bootleg copy - it was always present on ebay and the sellers who sold the last few copies aren't your ordinary bootleg names from ordinary places, but some xyz sellers or for example people like gojira_31, who definitely had the original.

I'll let you know how my copy looks like when it arrives.
I bought my personal copy from gunmann.

Apparently this is a reissue. Original doesn't have the barcode.
