That CD has been claiming prices around that amount for the last while now.

I don't understand it either.

This is after all a re-issue compilation CD...

I don't have anything against the material that Stormspell puts out, but what I don't understand is why all of the discs have full graphics on them? This isn’t only for Stormspell but most modern re-issue labels…. I think the a bare silver disc with minimal coloring and just the release info looks way classier.

I remember the time when Jim was trying to get rid of those and no one would give a squat for em. I bet he still has like half the pressing in his garage

It was a standard in the past as it was significantly cheaper to print 1-2 colors silkscreen. Nowadays full-color offset costs the same and people utilized it.

It is also a nightmare when such releases are shipped on spindle as discs rub together and those get damaged pretty easily. Other than that it is just aesthetics and personal preferences I guess.

I bought my copy from Tom Gattis some years ago. He was also one of the last ones to sell the first Gothic Knights CD's (it was already rare then but he still had a bunch of copies) and Advocate CD's, too. Later I tried to contact him again but he didn't reply. The domain "gattiemetal" didn't work anymore either, so the chance seems to be over.

Wow

Was the $9.99 a buy it now? Or just typical pricekillers madness? Can't say I'm familiar with this release so I don't know the going rate.

Nah, if the second link was a "Buy It Now" listing it would have said "Sold for:" instead of "Winning bid:". The CD only pops up a couple times a year normally as it's a self-released, Japanese manufactured CD, so it was released in a quite small quantity. This is the perfect example of pricekillers madness.

It was a combination. When a seller has an open auction (let's say start price $0.99) also with buy it now option for $9.99. I guess the winner was very quick.
