Moonspell - Alpha Noir + Omega White (limited edition version)
Sodom Patch
Ghost Patch

I just made an 11 CD purchase from a guy on EBAY.
Want to get everyone's view/critiques/comments.
You gotta wait, I have to figure out what I purchased.

OK...Here we go. The seller's handle is "Blasterplan."

I realize I might have overbid on certain CDs.

1: Elvenking - Era - $8.59
2: Secret Sphere - Portrait of a Dying Heart - $8.12
3: Haken - Visions - $6.04
4: Herman Frank - Right IN The Guts - $7.50
5: Dreamscape - Everlight - $6.85
6: Dungeon - Resurrection - $4.00
7: Ancient Dome - Perceptions of this Workd - $5.00
8: Grand Magus - The Hunt - $7.00
9: Stormwarrior - Heathen Warrior - $6.50
10: Savage Circus - Of Doom And Death - $6.43
11: Grinder - Dead End - $12.12 (This one is OOP) I think

Subtotal = $78.15
$3 shipping + $1 additional = $13 shipping
Total = $91.15

$8.29/disc for this auction.

RECENTLY WENT TO THE SOUNDGARDEN IN BALTIMORE AND PICKED UP

SUFFOCATION - PINNACLE OF BEDLAM CD/DVD
DARKTHRONE - THE UNDERGROUND RESISTANCE (IMPORT)
NEUROSIS - HONOR FOUND IN DECAY LTD
PORTAL - VEXOVOID
MANILLA ROAD - MYSTERIUM

Man, you could have bought The Scent of Human Desire for about $1.99 at any Hastings location. (Shame, because it's a solid album)

I like Portrait of a Dying Heart, but I think I built it up too much before it came out and was disappointed by my own hype. I'm going to listen to it tonight now that I've taken a step back for a few months and see how I feel now.

If it's not a bootleg, this one alone is worth at least ~half that total, if not more. Good, straight-up catchy thrash too.

Stratovarius - Nemesis
Holy Grail - Ride The Void

Let me know how I determine if it's a bootleg or not.

If it has a sticker on it that says "Is real thing, yes?"... then it's totally legit.

CELESTIAL BLOODSHED - Ω
DARK SONORITY - Kaosrekviem
KAOSRITUAL - Svøpt Morgenrød
MARE - Spheres Like Death / The Throne of the Thirteenth Witch

If it's a mediocre one it's usually as easy as matching matrix codes, CD printing, and typos with a reference online (if available) as well as general things like booklet quality and "Not to be sold outside of Russia, the Baltic states, etc" notifications. If it's a convincing bootleg, it doesn't really matter so long as the next guy thinks it's legit.

Hello. Haven't been around in a while. Here is some recent stuff I hauled.

Tomahawk - ODDFELLOWS
Manilla Road - MYSTERIUM
Darkthrone - THE UNDERGROUND RESISTANCE

Ancient VVisdom - DEATHLIKE
Year of the Goat - ANGEL'S NECROPOLIS

Absu - Absu
Emperor - s/t EP/Wrath of the Tyrant
Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I: Expanded Edition
Kreator - Pleasure to Kill

All part of my "Albums I should have owned years ago" campaign.

Darkthrone- The Underground Resistance
Suffocation- Pinnacle of Bedlam
Woods Of Ypres- Woods 5
Mike & The Mechanics- The Living Years

I enjoy that game. See: My recent King Diamond purchase

Buying King Diamond albums is always a good idea.

I actually was walking to the register with two new CDs (Darkthrone and Suffocation), but then I saw a display with all those CDs brand new for $7.99 each and changed my mind.

Mostly used CD Haul (3 were brand new) for under $150 that I picked up last night at a local record store. I spent 2 hours there and still didn't get through all of the C's - L's.

Some I will keep (new to me), some I will replace my existing copies and others I will sell on EBAY.
