I've had good experiences with amazon.com marketplace sellers when it comes to readily available items, but I never buy OOP items because the prices are usually unbelievable.
I'll give you an example. I'm a HUGE Iron Maiden fan as most of you know, but even I have a bit of sanity. I bought the EDDIE'S ARCHIVE box set on the day of release in 2002 for about $80. I think that's reasonable for a 6 CD box set of rarities that includes an Eddie shot glass, great packaging, and a complete Number of the Beast tour show. These days, it's OOP. What do I see?
1 New From $597.77
3 Used From $359.98
I would like to know if anybody seriously would fork out that kind of cash for a 6 CD box set. Ridiculous.
