it's the Take Me Away single that was only released in Finland (100 copies). Correct me if I'm being totally stupid and wrong

You are right, it was Take me Away the only-in-Finland release, but it was 1000 copies of it.

I have Tolkkis ESP handmade custom guitarr, Visions Finish coldrecord, Infinite tour handpainted bass plate then i have some testpressings of vinyl records.

Oh yeah i have the 'yellow 7" vinyl' edition of A Million Light Years Away or whatever it is. Dunno how rare that is either.

All I know is that it is quite rare indeed, about 20 bucks on eBay.

Well... if people are stupid to buy...

Most of those Visions Of Destiny are self-made copies.
From what I was told, there are really few "original" bootleg of it (500ex if I remember right)

One guy used to sell few of them on eBay.
I was a bit surprised and curious so I asked him questions about the item. He admitted that he made those CDs himself with CDR and label & cover he printed himself! When I asked him "and you sell them ", he just said "but hei, this is a rare stuff!". I think he was banned from eBay, after I wrote to the site !

Hei, perhaps I should start to sell my own "Stratovarius in Lyon 96" bootleg
and get money from it !

No no... seriously, this is total bullshit. band get no money, but stupid assh*le get, with those silly bootlegs. Just stay away from eBay. You can find more illegal stuffs there than in the russian blackmarket !
Some people (not even fan of bands) take the gig advert posters in front of venues just to sell them 10€ or 20€ on eBay. some people (working in radios or magazines) get promo CD for FREE : they sell them on eBay.

@Dawn : I think my gf will be ok with the idea, as long as it's only to get your rare Strato stuff for free : she's a Strato fan too

actually, it was 900

Well, bootlegs does not make the band any money, but I have bought so many cd's that I think I deserve that one

My Visions of Destiny is the printed one, in a jewelcase. I have also heard of a digipack version? Or is that just rumours?

That's true *now*, but you don't know how "freakie" I could be regarding these rare issues, and I'm on my way to get *all*...
Anyway, I think it'll be better if we just stay friends and forget about this "convenience marriage"

Firelily T-Shirt.
It's rare in Brazil coz almost no one here can pay 17E + shipping for a T-Shirt.
