I guess it was a shill bidding too, because i can't believe that someone need this (very good of course, but nothing extraordinary) album for such a crazy price.

We have to make a blacklist of shill bidders like blacklist of bootleg sellers on http://www.metal-treasures.com
I am just joking of course, fraud and deceit will always be on eBay.

6 or more CDs will go via EMS as before so I have tracking and am protected against fraudulent buyers and/or postal mishaps.

INTERNATIONAL shipping rates: SEMI-secure destinations: Czech, Slovakia, Poland, Slovenia, Italy, and Greece
1 CD = $5.50 via Regular airmail
2 CDs = $8.00 via Regular airmail
3 CDs = $10.50 via Regular airmail
4-5 CDs = $13.45 via Priority mail
6 and more CDs = $16.00 via Express (EMS) shipping

NOTE: up to 8 cds ship with jewel cases, more ship without jewel cases.

...And so much for normal shipping prices to Poland, it is back in the "insecure" bracket along with Czech Rep., Slovakia and Slovenia.

What happened, Have you lost more packages sent to these countries than to Greece or Italy or France for that matter?

Dude, before beating a dead horse, why don't you try placing an order and see how much it actually costs to ship to Poland before unearthing some old news which are totally irrelevant nowadays? Just saying you know...

I am just quoting what is in the official "Shipping Info" section on your website right now (or at the time of writing my post, becaause it seems changed when I look at it now

). It would be good if that information was clear, just a thought...

Noone in their right state of mind will place an order if he sees in the FAQ that shipping for one CD is 17$.

Nah, this info is quite old, you probably got old cache in your browser. Poland was removed from that list months ago. Next time just click CTRL+F5

Noone in their right state of mind will place an order if he sees in the FAQ that shipping for one CD is 17$.

A regular CD in bubble envelope weights between 4-5 ounces, which costs $4.33 or $5.20 respectively to be shipped first class airmail to Europe. Registration costs extra $11.50, so the total is $16.70 cost of bubble envelope not included.

But this is not all: there are very stern regulations on how a registered packages has to be prepared - ALL seams need to be taped with special paper tape - the nasty messy type which needs to be moistened with a sponge, ALL labels need to be handwritten (no sticker or peel-on labels accepted). Which means I have to spend 15 minutes or more messing around with fucking paper tape and filling in all papers by hand (opposed to printing the postage online as I do with other type of packages).

And then I have to get into my car, drive to the bloody post office, and stand in line just to mail this one package!

So yeah dude, I don't really feel bad when people do not order one cd with $17.00 shipping. It's not like I'm lining my pockets with those money either.

Nobody is forced to buy from me - people can pool up with friends and buy indefinite number of CDs for the same $17 and enjoy Express EMS delivery from me, or go find my releases at some local dealer, fine with me either way.

OR, if they insist on buying just one CD and want it shipped cheap - fine with me, but I will NOT take paypal for it. They can send me Western Union, or well hidden cash, then I ship it via regular mail and happily ignore when they start asking where their cd is.

Okay, I'm out of here now.

That auction
( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0559277506 ) was my only copy of Morbid Vision - The Firstborn CD.
I expected some more bids and was a bit disappointed but ehh... life suxx

perishinflames · Post by **perishinflames** » Sat May 07, 2011 11:20 pm

Though most private CDs are fetching big money these days, I think Morbid Vision is still a bit too unknown to get top dollar. I got my copy for 8 Euro from a German black metal distro, all their common black metal CDs were way overpriced, the Morbid Vision was the cheapest thing in the entire shop

$11 for a late 90s EP of under 20 minutes is quite decent price imo. It is not that good either.
