This is AOR with some Prog type keyboards.
He lists it every few weeks with a differant price up and down. Last time it was 400.
This was a $50 AOR record for years and then people started to HYPE as Hard Rock / Metal and the price went up
If I have time this weekend I will post it up
Cheers for clearing out the ???'s, John. If it's aor PLEASE don't post it - I'm trying to run DECENT forum here
EMERALD CITY on the other hand... Yes Please!

I wouldn't go that high, but Snake Bite Love is the rarest of the newer Motörhead vinyls.

$383 for a Motorhead record! I'll sell my copy for that no problem, any takers?

The SPV-era Motorhead records have been fetching serious money on Ebay lately. It seems the completists have come out of the woodwork and are by no means fucking around when it comes to filling the gaps in their collections. The band's popularity is also in an apparent state of permanent growth right now -- not at all the case when the late 90s albums were released -- so there's really more interest than ever in their catalog as a whole.
Sacrifice has always shown up occasionally and was catching around $100 last year, but recent copies have gone much higher, with one recently at $500. (No kidding -- do a completed items search.) I sold a really beat-to-shit copy for $50 last year.
Snake Bite Love had only been offered a handful of times during the past couple of years, but maybe 3-4 months ago it started showing up more frequently, always going in the range of $150. This is a new high as far as I know, but given what I've seen with Sacrifice lately, I won't be surprised if a copy fetches $6-700 in the near future.
Everything Louder than Everyone Else (a live album from 1999 on three LPs) is also starting to nudge up into this range. I haven't seen it go for more than $200 yet, but it's a matter of time. This album, it must be said, is pound-for-pound one of the best Motorhead releases ever.
Overnight Sensation and We are Motorhead have also broken the $100 mark lately, and I believe I saw a sealed copy of Hammered come close recently.
A German pressing of Bastards is comparably rare, although it has also been issued on picture LP and on black vinyl in Brasil, so there's less of a demand. March or Die can also be a tricky one to come by (again, unless you'll accept a Brasilian press) although that album is regarded as a dud by even the least discerning Motorhead fans, so it's usually in the $20-30 range.
Motorhead recorded analog up until Inferno, so the "sound quality" argument in these cases is valid. Overnight Sensation especially crushes the CD sound. Inferno is actually cut on two LPs and ends up sounding better than the CD as a result, but it's not because of the source.
Suffice to say, I'm very glad I got my copies when I did.

Damn, those aren't even NM copies -- you can see a price sticker on Overnight and Hammered has obvious ring warp.

I can seriously relate to that.. I have a gap of vinyls between Nö Sleep At All (OK, 1916 is not the biggest problem..) and Inferno, all CDs instead - the 90s have not been my metal years, unfortunately, otherwise this wouldn't have happened. It would suck less if there weren't any vinyls at all - by no means I will ever (even be able to) pay those insane prices as they go for today. This is one of the phenomena of today's ebay madness that really suck big time. Too many freaks with far too much money.. Can't believe those SPV pressings are THAT rare..

I see all kinds of creases and folds,corner bumps.
If you were buying something that expensive wouldn't you want more extensive pictures?

Too bad that "Sacrifice" vinyl is expensive as hell, it's one of my favourite Motorhead records, I really want that one on vinyl

I'm still trying to get my head around the prices Motorhead lps from the 90's sell for. I just bought them as they came out, didn't play them much and they sit there on the shelf in nice condition. I mean the only Motorhead record I really want to listen to anymore is "Overkill" anyway, they've never topped that album.

Here's Manowar's Louder Than Hell:

Probably famous bands + their 90s stuff was pressed on vinyl in very limited quantities = high price ??!
