sovdat wrote:$250 for 2nd LWS which can be seen on Dutch / German ebay every now and then for 30€ tops ... and apparently sucks?

And $355 for Leviathen - I was bidding on two in the past year and finished 3rd on the first one that was sold for something over $100 and 2nd on the other one for $60, as the winner there was the 2nd highest bidder on the 1st one ... thrasking again :D
the guy randomcoils bid on a lot of kreator's items. he won many items of them and he was also second high bidder of many items. so without his bids, the result might be different much. many buyers hate him, but many sellers love him. :D

I wanted that Vigilant...

But $300.00?

No way...


I also know that the Leviathen is rare, but like sovdat stated, it does pop up from time to time and has ended for a lot less in the past. I've still never heard the damn thing either...

i don't like his auction because he always say his item is 1st press even though that is definitely not. i think he also know some of them is not 1st press, but he tell a lie to raise the bid. for example, he said his Exodus debut and Megadeth debut CD is 1st press, but both of them was made in USA and none of them is 1st press. i could not say he is honest.

I know what you mean.

Quite a few times I have sent him a message stating the same thing and telling him which CD is the first press. In fact, I recall a more recent occurrence when he had the 1995 Metal Blade re-issue of Armored Saint "March Of The Saint" listed as the first pressing and finally after emailing him a scan of the Chrysalis pressing, he removed the term "first press" but only from the item description. He still kept it in the auction title as to continue to mislead those browsing through his auction listings.

:shock:
Can anyone confirm that they all came as plain white labels w/ fold-out sleeves? Not that I can afford to go after it, but those are the kinds of traits that would make a bidder a little suspicious. I've never seen a copy in person of course. Just curious to know if it's the real deal
