That test pressing must be much rarer than the regular pressing then?

Here's Iron Cross, popsike says $400 in 2004 and $660 in 2008 ...

I've seen it listed as a $1,000 item before, but it may not normally get that high. Rattlehead's copy ended at about $660 in very early 2009; I think it's the only time I saw him set a reserve price, and the reserve was not met at $660. Of course this was right in the heart of the Recession here in the US, and bidding was noticeably light on expensive items around that time.

Never seen or heard of a promo Paradoxx before. Wacky. Guess the regular version isnt so kvlt anymore- you gotta have the promo version to be hardcore! :lol:

That's true and there's also a testpressing, a single copy of that from what i've heard.

Yep edition of 100 and one test-pressing. I have it at home. Got it directly from Rex. It is totally scratched, horror, don't know what they did with it at that days....
The Paradoxx was on ebay for 100 or 200 US and he bought it by buy it now...

The new GC seller probably just saw the last copy go insanely high and figured it was a good time to sell. If a few of the losers from the last copy saw this one, then it may just be the same couple of people pushing it up (I haven't checked the bid histories, so i don't know).

Give it a few months and things may settle back down. Don't forget how those Stormwindow singles behaved earlier this year; couple of copies cleared $600; then a few months later it sold for $150, and a few months later it was $56. Right now is not the time to buy GC

Ridiculous. There's one on GEMM right now for only $85(probably was there when the last one sold for $200 on eBay).

EDIT: And I see another on eBay that has already reached $97...

So it's almost standardized,at least for a period of time.It's promising though that they will all try to sell it now and the price will soon drop hopefully
