Waking up in the morning, and while drinking this days first cup of coffee, I stumbled upon this.

Actually, I gave it some time before hitting the buy it now button. Sleepiness was still strong.

I bet this must be some kind of watered down hard rock with a couple of typical metal riffs that will justify the 'us metal' part of the description

Well not really
3 on Popsike (1 was mine)
It is a $100 record BUT NOT METAL
more 70's psych with a little hard rock put in.

My point was that it would be something that had little to do with metal and from your description sounds like there's no metal at all in it, so I highly doubt it that 'ONCE PEOPLE LISTEN TO THE MUSIC WILL GO BESERK AND LOOK EVERYWHERE FOR IT', how can one possibly RUN BERSERK with a 70's psych sounding album is beyond me

They will run since that just bought something they don't want

If he posted it for what it really is He would still sell it for 100+ but to someone who might want it. instead of someone who thinks it's going to Metal.

I really just dont understand this guy at all.
Maybe someone from Greece can come on and explain this Seller/Buyer to me..

he is a 'great' guy..i remember people told me that he used to charge them the equivalent of $4 plus a blank tape to tape them stuff in the 90s..in the middle ages of metal,when finding a Warlord record in Greece was harder than finding Militia today..
and from what they told me he always left a song out of whatever record it was he was taping for them..fuck knows why

I once made a CDR trade with him, I gave him about 40 rare demos/7"/LPs and he gave about 20 rare EPs/LPs claiming that his stuff was much rarer and that it wasn't fair to do a 1:1 trade...
I have some other stories as well but I better not share them in a public forum...

HAHA

No Problem Understand

I didn't say anything bad about the seller or the record.
He is just miss leading the buyer with his discription.
Thats not saying it's not a good record just not Metal.

The really funny thing to me is I have been on ebay for 10 years now and I have only blocked 2 names from bidding on my stuff and for some reason his is one of them. Can't even remember why.
