If Metal becomes this on a general scale -along with people having only mp3 collections but lots of bands shirts, etc-, then I'll have nothing to do with Metal is, and I don't want being called a metalhead or associated with Metal anymore.

And since when was that Decomposed 12" worth $60? I'm amused that there was a pic disc version of that daft acid-addled Malicious Onslaught album.

Never. I'm glad I bought my copy from the band for £4 back in 1993

And I guess this is a fine price for such a rarity? Wish I had the money ...

If he/she sells this item, I go straight away in the 2nd hand shop here, buy the CD for 8 Euros and sell it for $299 buy-it-now.

Hey that's actually a decent price I think, if you can shell out that much spontaneously

Umm, yeah?? I bought this some time ago on vinyl for 5 euros I think. Is it really that rare?

pricekillers has to have some fucking shill bidders or something his auctions are constantly ending well above the average of identical items there is no other explanation.

OUCH! I think I paid maybe $14 for my copy?

You don't like that album? I think it's pretty good (the track Traitor To The Living just kicks my ass!). Not mind-blowing, but certainly not the worst the genre has to offer.

I doubt it. I've bought from him MANY times, and never had the price run up on me. Scored some good discs for fairly cheap. For cases like the Intruder disc, it's usually two or three people all decided that they wanted THAT disc at THAT time and went nuts. Besides, you tend to get better prices on albums like that when you have listed 100+ auctions.

I don't buy that explanation, but believe what you want.
