Been into Miles Davis (mostly his fusion period) for 4 years now, but since a few months back i've been crazy about jazz. It's like a newfound love for me Heart

Will probably sell my Megadeth albums (remastered)  tomorrow. Why? For one thing, i can't even rip them onto my computer because of the copy-control thing. And then there's the money issue.
The good thing is that i can replace them with the original CD pressings for pretty cheap later on.

I dropped my jaw when i saw it at the store! Yeah, it is a disturbing album, even though it's beautiful, but it also contains some really good songs (I'm Always, A Fall thru the ground) he wrote before he became the depressed almost dead junkie he was in 1997. It's actually a mixture of his teenage works (fall thru the ground), songs that didn't fit onto his first solo album (title track...) and songs recorded because he needed drug money (hence the not-do-good quality. but hey, it's frusciante, dammit!).
 
Nice! Though i paid about 20kr for Headless Cross and 70kr for TYR, so 90kr combined (which would be about €10 or slightly more) Tongue

That's how i thought when i traded in a bunch of albums this spring/summer.
I traded stuff like Queensryche, Kiss, AC/DC, Iron Maiden etc... for David Bowie, The Cure, Depeche Mode, John Frusciante, Stooges...
 
(i got the very rare John Frusciante "Smiles from the Streets you hold" for only $10! Never selling that one!)

Pretty sure i won't, and even if i do, it won't be my out-of-print Sabbath albums Wink
It's not uncommon to see auctions with "Forbidden", "TYR" & "Headless Cross" going for over 100kr ($15 or €10) each (when they show up, which in itself is rare)

1. No and 2. yes, bonus answer: maybe.

The problem with selling off stuff is that the stuff you'd most like to part with won't usually fetch what you put into it.

Also I've been crazy all my life but I wouldn't recommend it...

I sold a couple hundred of my CDs once when I really needed the cash.  I probably didn't have much choice at the time, but many times I've regretted doing it.  I guess it really has to do with how badly you need the cash.  If possible, hold onto your metal CDs. is my advice.
