Metallica fans -- what is my vinyl worth?

So, i'm sitting on all this Metallica vinyl having no idea wtf it is all worth. I got it circa 1998-2001, if that means anything. All vinyl is black, except otherwise noted.

7" of "One." B-side is "The Prince."
Eye of the Beholder. I can't find this one, but I remember having it at one point.


Albums and other official stuff:
Kill 'em All
Ride The Lightning
Master of Puppets -- One disc.
$5.98 EP.

12" Singles
Jump In The Fire: "Studio Side" has Jump in the fire. "Live Side" has Seek and Destroy and Phantom Lord.
Whiplash -- Same songs as above, but the "Studio Side" also includes the "Special neckbrace edition" of Whiplash


The real interesting stuff, at least to this uneducated collector:
"Acting like a Menace" Live at Castle Donington 1985. Evil Records Ltd. Made in United Kingdom
Side 1 has Creeping Death, Ride the Lightning, For Whom The Bell Tolls, The Four Horsemen
Side 2 has Fade to Black, Seek & Destroy, Whiplash, Am I Evil, Motorbreath
The label on the vinyl is 100% white, except for what looks like a hand-drawn "1" and "2" on either side.

Molten Rock: "Live in Chicago April 20, 1986." This is obviously a bootleg. I haven't played it in a while, but I think it starts off with a studio recording of some classical music. The label on the disc says "The Wizards Quest."

Creeping Death: Studio version of song on Side 1. Side 2 has Am I Evil and Blitzkrieg... This one appears to be upwards of $60. Actual vinyl is sort of like a "see-through" blue.

Bay Area Thrashers picture disc. No official cover, just a gray hard plastic thingy.



No one knows? A few views. Hopefully someone knows something. I have a feeling the albums aren't worth much, but the "Whiplash" *could* be a nice find, depending on if it is what I think it is.

Acting like a Manic could be $70 or so, based on one website.

    Good news, I guess.

    I wasn't expecting it to be a hell of a lot, but at least I have an idea. It kind of sucks the boots aren't worth more, but oh well. I'd estimate between $139-$180, based on your estimates. I suppose that's not TOO bad, but it certainly isn't Benaroyal Hall.. oh well. The price I paid was VERY FAIR, so i'm certainly not complaining..hehehe.

    Hopefully the Bay Area Thrashers makes up for all the $10-$20, but I have a feeling it won't. :( (Edit-- Found one site that had "BAT" for $33.)

    it beats the $10-$15 that it would sell for if it were all on CD

    True. I also have the sickening feeling that i'm missing out by not having any sleeve for Bay Area Thrashers. Like I said though, I picked it up for a VERY good price, hehe. :)
