Chuck Schuldiner Axtra Prophecy guitar on ebay

[Mithrandir]

He must have the bones of 5,000 records/boxsets...some signed,  rare, test presses, boxsets etc He's gonna make a lot of cash but his head will he wrecked selling that lot.

Mental to just wanna get rid of it all

Starting out strong, first up, mint yellow goat!!

[LLR]

5 records sold and I'd say he's around 10 grand up already.

All I'm seeing is the guitar.
What else has he sold?

[LLR]

Sold first presses of

Bathory, Dark Medieval Times, DMDS, Transylvanian Hunger and Deathcrush

[The Ancient Ones]

How much did the DMDS go for? I gave away - for free! - a copy on Metal Ireland back in the day when I was clearing stuff out...

The cult of ORIGINAL VINYL gets on my tits. If you pick something up original for a good price, then winner, but these people who pay hundreds or more on an original pressing of an album when you can easily buy a good quality reissue baffle me. I picture them with their museum gloves handling the precious cargo and crumbling in tears of there's any evidence of ageing on the jacket... fukin NERDS! Anyway, that's why I find out where they live and go and rob all their original pressings and leave them in charity shops for a fiver.

[LLR]

Yeah fuck that..imagine dropping a few grand on DMDS...mental. I'll stick to my shitty Back On Black picture disc

Seems to go regularly for between 1500 - 2000 on discogs. Sometimes more

Giving it away for nowt wasn't my most intelligent move....

The hack of that guitar, fuck me. I like the BC Rich Stealth, Ironbid, and the Jackson Warrior, but you have to draw the line somewhere!!!

Is he selling the vinyl on Discogs or eBay?

I sold my (first) collection in 2014 and made about 12 grand on the lot.
I had a load of signed Dissection stuff, which helped. I can't remember the individual prices, but no single item sold for more than a grand, that is for sure! They'd be mental prices if I was selling them today.

I agree regarding the prices of original presses, especially the black metal stuff. The prices are just fucking daft!
If I'm buying something pricey, I'm thinking of it more as an investment than anything else.
I wasn't thinking like that when I was buying stuff in the 90s of course, but now I'm always thinking of it.
If I'm buying a new LP, I'll always go for the most LTD pressing as I can't take all this stuff to the grave with me, might as well buy what is most likely to appreciate in value.

The most expensive purchase I have made in the last couple of years was a secondhand copy of the And Justice For All box set, which was about 450 euros including shipping. I just have Master of Puppets left to get, but I won't be paying a grand for it!

[Eoin McLove]

Fuck that. I buy records to have, and to listen to. That's their value.

[Thorn]

A bit of scuff or a pen mark of whatever adds character, fuck that spic and span new look, boys pointing out a little ding in the corner of an lp, them all aghast. They'd have had some look at me bringing an expensive Lovecraft compendium to work in my rucksack last week. And marking the stories I'd read with an X. Anyway...

[Eoin McLove]

These things must live and breathe, not be locked in air- sealed containers for speculators to dream about.

[Mooncat]

I wonder why the big sell of such a monstrous and carefully curated collection. My pure speculated instinct is there's a woman behind that somewhere. But who knows, maybe it's something much more innocent like drug addiction.

[Thorn]

Both are prime possibilities , I find it very sad though, a lifetime's ...a life,  just transformed to currency and gone.
