Rare cd question

Post by wingchun » Wed Jul 13, 2005 11:58 am

Hi Strato-fans!

I'm not really a Stratovarius fan myself and the only albums I own are "II" and "The Chosen Ones". My question is about the "II" cd, which I bought on an impulse in the beginning of the 90's. It's the original self-financed version with two feet on the cover, pictured here:

Is anyone able to say how rare it is and what would be it's approximate worth, if I decided to sell it? :roll:

I think only 1000 copies were made.
As to its worth, I don't know.

You might PM Liageran because he might know something about this album's worth. Or Moony.

I like the cover. So unusual. Its my avatar! :D

btw, you are very fortunate to own this CD. I'd keep it. ;)

I chose CottonCandy as my nick 'cause I'm sweet, soft, and pink!

Being "in the know" is not necessarily a good thing. ;)

In my humble opinion it must worth hundreds of Euro. But you should search on e-bay as well, there you can find some pieces I bet.

It's worth as much as people are willing to pay for it. Just put it on ebay, wait and see how high bids go. I guess you can get about 100€ for it, 200 if you are lucky or see a guy who absolutely wants it (and has the money).

De hisz ez nem vicces!
But it's not even funny at all!

Well, bad try Strago, but I think, that if he sells it to me for 10 bucks, I can sell it to you for 210 bucks. Is it a deal?

Well, I'm not in a hurry to sell it, if I sell it at all. It's nice to know how rare it is, however. By the way, does anyone know whether 1000 were pressed in total (both covers)? If so, I wonder what would be the individual amounts for each cover.

What is this "special strago-candy"? Do I even want to know? :wink:
