Dunno, most testpressings dont go for much except it's a widely collected band (Priest, Maiden, Manowar, Slayer, etc)
I bought a Hellion testpressing on NRR for 14€ a few months ago for example

I just got a test press of Virtue - We Stand to Fight 7''. Wonder if it could be worth any money.

to certain collectors definately. But I feel not many really have a thing for white labels.

It's a white label, but record company logo etc is glued on to it + writing. Here's a picture.

yeah some pressing plants had their company logo etc on the labels, often with customer number, date of pressing, etc., I have some in that fashion. I still list it under white label

Still need the regular version too.. Argh.. Haha.

I know, having test pressings and not the regular is somehow not quite right. Still need to get a regular INRI & Graf Spee

If they are white label test presses but contains the PS, that's pretty OK, but the nerves still shaking for the real deal anyway..

Stormqueen 7'' went for nearly 900 dollars btw

When sellers refuse to ship internationally, this is what sometimes happens...

Khund- yeah, things can fall through the cracks like that

Patrik- cool Virtue item! Folks that are into a band AND into test pressings/completism will pay a lot for them, but many people aren't interested in test pressings.

Big price for the Stormqueen, makes the one that sold for 75 GBP in April look pretty good

There were only 3 bidders who went higher than 110 GBP for this copy

Most sellers, I find, will post overseas if you just ask...

This is crazy... did you win it?

Here's another one that might go for an ok price due to US shipping only:

Nope, I asked whether the seller would ship internationally and got "No sorry dude. UK only."

Edit: Damn autospeller...
