Saber – Do Or Die (indie release) ends at $140.38  Seller - delclemons Starting Price = 99 cents Bids = 14 Described as AOR/Melodic Hard Rock, there’s not much else to describe Saber except to compare them to other rarities.

Seller = endangeredcds (from Canada) Starting Price = $4.99 22 bids Auction description: Sometimes a CD is so hard to find that it doesn’t even register on the trusted barometers of rarity (i.e. an appearance in the Metal Mayhem collection, a ranking on Heavy Harmonies’ [...]

We are going to spotlight some GnR auctions this time around. Just to get the “appetite” wet, let’s look at….. Guns N’ Roses – Lies sealed in longbox ends at $110.29! I can easily get my hands on one of these and I think it’s high time I went out and got it. I have [...]

Stryper – The Yellow & Black Attack (Japanese import) CD sells for $899! I understand the need to have this CD for the diehard Stryper fan and for the serious collector: First, this is the original artwork. Second, the tracklisting is different. $899 is very steep and I hope the lone bidder enjoys the CD. [...]

Klaatu – Strange (1991) sells for $543! All I know about Klaatu is that they are from Poland and they play a blend of AOR/Hard Rock. This seller is a highly regarded collector, everything he buys and sells is of top quality and are original CDs only. This CD was pressed in small quantities on [...]

We’ve got a couple of repeat offenders in this edition of Ebay Madness that just keep going for big money on Ebay. Let’s start this installment with one of my favorite collectibles: Laurence Archer – LA (1986) ends at $402! The final price is well under previous highs of $590, $777, and $1376.34 but it is [...]

Excruciate – Passage Of Life (1993) ends at $300.01! I know absolutely nothing about Sweden’s Excruciate but I do know that $300 for a CD is a lot of money. The auction states the CD is OOP (out of print) and is a first pressing on Thrash Records but it’s still a lot of money. [...]

Prism – Jericho (1993) starting bid at $2990.00! No this didn’t sell, the seller actually ended it before bids were taken. No CD is worth almost $3000 and the seller made a mistake in the listing. I just found this interesting because Ebay would have charged the seller a huge auction price to list this [...]

Laurence Archer – LA (1986) breaks the bank again at $590 Don’t you wish you could go back to ’86 and snatch up as many copies as you could of this in the Import Section of your local record store? This album is getting to be a regular feature in this column but the price [...]
