I haven't seen one of these for sale for a number of years now, does anyone have any idea of how much they usually change hands for when they come up?

    It has jumped around a lot

    in the good old days $400-500 was not uncommon,

    nowadays I would think you can snag it for $250-300

    there is one grossly overpriced on a UK collectors site right now that is frankly ridiculous

    Excellent - that fits in with what my man in Japan is offering it for then.

    What site was that? The usual expensive UK site doesn't have one in stock

    EIL now only has the reg Japanese promo of Vitalogy, the one with the OBI- Line... No Freak :(

    If that sold, you could potentially buy a copy, sell it for that much on EIL, then buy it again somewhere else and have money left over. :lol:

    Ha! Although I haven't seen one in years (and had been kicking myself at turning down the last one), so I'd sell it and then never find another one!

    Wow! I stopped subscribing to their emails when my collection became pretty much complete, but I did get a few things from them that were a good price once upon a time. Riot Act sealed vinyl for £75 and Ten Basketball vinyl for £69.99 stand out

    I seem to remember this thing going for under $100 USD some years ago.

    Can happen with promos though - I've acquired numerous Foo Fighters ones at release time for no, or very little, outlay - and some of them later go for heaps of money because they don't get sold so much.
