I'll buy that truly iconic Metal releases like this will keep getting more and more expensive, but this is thrice times normal crazy..mordred wrote: ↑Thu Sep 01, 2022 4:36 pm Meanwhile in Sweden, a Candlemass Epicus LP sold for over 700 euros.

Well, you need to add the customes fee. If the seller in case of Paradoxx was european he will get charged a great amount of money extra by customs. I recently bought a $150 record from the US which I thought was a bargain. The bad awakening happened at customs, where I thought I only had to pay 19 % tax. But at a value of 150 Euro (incl shipping) you NOW have to pay customs charges. Not only this, I had to drive home and download and fill out a very complicated sheet for them with thousands of numbers I had no clue of what they would mean. In the end they charged me 85 Euro fees for a 150 Euro record!Khnud wrote: ↑Sat Sep 03, 2022 3:01 pm Yes, truly insane. Actually I don't think $3000+ for Paradoxx or Flames of Hell is that insane, considering these are very rare items that you can't get easily, and you might have to wait several years for another copy to turn up. The Candlemass on Tradera however, is seriously insane because it's three to five times the price of other items currently for sale elsewhere.

...but that's of course a subject for a different thread.The Corroseum website wrote:...the most fascinating aspect of old forgotten, deathlike bands like FLAMES OF HELL, PARABELLUM, GRAF SPEE, REENCARNACION etc are the way they play around with and diversify our preconceptions of the old-school Black Metal sound. It would be interesting to hear a new band taking a few influences from these sickos rather than the predictable BATHORY/MAYHEM/C FROST/SARCÓFAGO rip-offs we're seeing far too much of nowadays, wouldn't it?
Yeah, eBay import charges on non EU-items can now be as high as 70%! It's completely NUTS! Especially since Swedish Customs claim on their website that import charges should be AT MOST 25%, depending on the type of item. Something isn't right here!Prowler wrote: ↑Sat Sep 03, 2022 5:29 pm Well, you need to add the customes fee.

(this copy is located in France)That's almost reasonable. I guess people are less willing & able to overpay for these kind of items nowdays...The Ripper wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 5:34 pm Metal Merchant just sold for 300 bucks! Was I too optimistic to win the bid halfway?
The import taxes for us Europeans will have something to do aswell i guess. That's a more than reasonable prices for this one. Nice condition too. I was thinking bidding too, but like i said, don't want to pay for extra income taxes.The Ripper wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 5:34 pm Metal Merchant just sold for 300 bucks!
