Title: HIM Collections
Post by: Haddonfield on April 04, 2013, 11:56:46 AM
I think this board is way past due for another topic like this. I tried to resurrect an old one from the past, but it was too far gone. :'(

Anyways, I was kinda sad about my All Lips Go Blue promo not showing up in the mail today, so I bought this little fucker:

Anyone else add anything to their collection recently, besides Tears On Tape stuff?

Nice! I bought a Screamworks promo recently as well, along with a Dark Light one.
http://oi50.tinypic.com/2v1xbwm.jpg (http://oi50.tinypic.com/2v1xbwm.jpg)

The indent on the Dark Light's packaging looks a lot worse in that picture than it does in real life. Both were still sealed when I got them, but my curiosity got the best of me and I opened up both.

I still need one from Venus Doom, and I'd actually love to get a SWRMXS one too, although I'll never own a regular copy of that piece of shit album. :)

I've got one more CD I may possibly be getting, then it's time to save up for the concert in May, and I think I'm finally ready to splurge on a copy of 666 Ways To Love. Just gotta find someone wanting to sell theirs. :)

I bought Screamworks on vinyl to hold me over until May. But I'm not sure if the record has the regular versions of the songs, or the Baudelaire in Braille acoustic versions. Anyone know?

Yeah, I'll see if my scanner even works tomorrow. It's been a long day. I need some sleep.

UPDATE: Scanner doesn't work. It's one of those printer/scanner combos, and I've had it since I was probably in middle school (I'm 23 now). I knew the printer wasn't working the last time I tried it, but I wasn't sure about the scanner part of it. Popped the CD in there and hit a bunch of buttons. Nada. Here's a picture of it lying on my lovely brown carpet:

Received a CD Plant AB digipak pressing of Greatest Lovesongs in the mail today. Kinda cool!

Bought two more items as well the other day: an In Joy And Sorrow European promo to go along with my Heartache Every Moment one, and a (legit) HER version of Razorblade Romance. Never owned anything with HER on it before, so I can't wait to get that. I remember pretty clearly when those releases came out, though, so I'm kicking myself now for not getting them way back when.

I love HER stuff! It's such a random tidbit of HIM history now. Anytime someone comes over and sees the HER poster it's a great conversation starter.

I need HER version of Razorblade Romance too. Actually I need any version of RR with all bonus-tracks. Where did you find it? if it's not a secret...
Title: Re: HIM Collections
Post by: Haddonfield on April 15, 2013, 02:18:30 PM
I got it on eBay. As I'm sure you already know, there's always fakes on there. I knew who the person was selling it, though, and they provided me with everything I needed to know that it's real.
Title: Re: HIM Collections
Post by: Daedalus on April 15, 2013, 02:45:42 PM
If you want a RR with all the tracks the HER version is the only one, however the US versions used a shitty master so the quality isn't as good. Grab a copy of the RR digi and the British version to get all the tracks.

Thanks for advice. I don't have anything from US, so I thought it would be cool to have HER version.

Title: Re: HIM Collections
Post by: Jay on April 15, 2013, 07:31:27 PM
So you probably have all of this stuff already.  I have several of the Razorblade Extractions and  Wertcher promos. 

Unfortunately I only have 1 of the HER Join Me promos and full sticker. 

The other sticker is just a cut out of that same sticker.

I have one giant HER poster, which I didn't even remember.  It came folded like that, just FYI. 

I thought the matches were interesting.

I think the only thing I won't part with is the Join Me promo and full sticker.
Title: Re: HIM Collections
Post by: Haddonfield on April 15, 2013, 07:46:25 PM
I'd be interested in one of the Extractions and a Werchter promo. I don't own either of those.

I'd make you an offer on the Join Me promo and sticker, but I would want to hold onto those too if I had them, so it's no big deal.
Title: Re: HIM Collections
Post by: Jay on April 15, 2013, 07:57:44 PM
I can send the cut sticker too.

Nath, there are the 2 HER Razorblade Romances.  If you're interested in the open copy, you're welcomed to make an offer.

I always wish i, kept more of the HER join me promos. I must've had around 50 from the street team days but i still have a few. Also the pink HER promos. I traded so many of them, most for nonsense, when they first came out. I remember going to every skate shop and every store that sold skateboards and stealing them out of the plastic from the bam decks haha.

LOL, I must have wasted 5 stickers on the bathroom of my favorite bar.  I kept sticking them up and they kept ripping them down.  One finally stuck, but they closed a week later.  I gave away a bunch of the promos at school.  I'd see a cute girl and I'd hand her one.

Jay, if you don't sell new unopened copy, I should think about the opened one. It depends on the condition of CD and how much you want for it. Tell me, please, a bit more about all the details.
And, of course, I still need TOT with autographs, if you haven't changed your mind.
Title: Re: HIM Collections
Post by: Jay on April 16, 2013, 02:37:05 PM
I honestly think I just opened the CD and looked at it.  I don't think I played it.  I'll check when I get home.  I'll take pics for you.  And yeah, you're still welcomed to the TOT autograph too.

Post by: Haddonfield on May 08, 2013, 07:51:05 PM
So much for the German Gone With The Sin promo I was watching on eBay. The seller got one bid and must've needed the money now to fund his crack addiction or something, so he ended the auction with almost five days left. I made sure to send him a message and let him know I was planning on bidding on it and he would've made far more money had he just waited. What an idiot. I didn't want to get into a possible bidding war this far out, so I held off on placing a bid myself. Guess that could've been me that he ended the auction early for, but I never expected something like that. Maybe he was worried about it not selling like the 666 WTL he's relisted I don't know how many times because he starts the auction off at such a ridiculous price that nobody would ever pay.
Title: Re: HIM Collections
Post by: Daedalus on May 08, 2013, 08:01:00 PM
I'm so pissed at shit like that. I'll bid on something, get outbid, and before I know it, the auction is ended early. But whenever I email sellers asking them to end early I get looked at like I'm the dickhead. Ugh!
Title: Re: HIM Collections
Post by: Haddonfield on May 08, 2013, 08:28:23 PM
I'm just upset that it could've been me. With a CD like that, I expected interest to pick up once it got closer to the end of the auction. I didn't wanna tip my hand too soon and force a bidding war with so much time left. The way I see it, if you really need money as quickly as possible, you shouldn't choose a seven day auction.

I still have a sealed Deep Shadows And Brilliant Highlights Finnish Special Limited Edition and the original Finnish Razorblade Romance vinyl coming, but that CD would've been the icing on the cake. :-\

So many fakes are on Amazon, I tried ordering the limited edition RR ( Not from the same seller of course ) twice, and they were both fake. Its so easy for someone to upload and use a fake image of the product.

I've gotten some real bargains on Amazon, (Wicked Game LP for $20, The Sacrament single part 2 for $1) but you sometimes have to take a few risks. I've bought three RR digis until I finally got a non copy protected version!

I just received the RR digi today that I bought from a seller on ebay and when I put it in the computer, windows media player won't play it, itunes won't either (and they both show the length of the last track to be 20 minutes long), but it does play in my regular cd player...Is this a fake?
Title: Re: HIM Collections
Post by: Bender Bending R. on May 20, 2013, 06:16:03 PM
Probably its not, they used one kind of protection that made them unplayable in many players, and computer to avoid  copy them
If your cd it have the first line starting with actung, your cd is the copyprotected version, the more common and givethose problems

If i want to play thad digipack i have to use my non copyprotection version

But dont worry, yor cd its a real copy
Title: Re: HIM Collections
Post by: marta30 on May 20, 2013, 06:27:25 PM
Thank you very much...I always worry about getting fakes because I never know which sellers to trust. I would really like to find a non copy protected version also...any suggestions on how to find one?
Title: Re: HIM Collections
Post by: Daedalus on May 21, 2013, 04:08:04 AM
It took me FOREVER to find a non copy protected version. I just kept checking auctions that had actual photos of the CD, and eventually, I found one.  This is why I have 3 of the copy protected digis...cos I kept buying them hoping to get the "right" one, haha!
Title: Re: HIM Collections
Post by: marta30 on May 21, 2013, 07:53:51 AM

Can I ask another question here about HIM stuff? I have been collecting intermittently and sporadically for a few years now- and there's a lot of stuff I don't have and am not sure how legit it is. I love the database you guys have because it helps me keep track of what I'm looking for. 

So my question is this- because I didn't see it on the database - is the Join Me single I keep seeing on eBay with the McDonald's logo real?  Did they really stuff that in Mickey D bags over in Europe at some point?  And is it the song with the video?

Yes, the Join Me McDonalds Logo CD is real. This was released in Portugal only. I'm not sure if the video is on there, i believe it's only the song.
It's a promo cd.

Did anyone order the blue, double LP for the XX Two Decades of Love Metal from The End Records?  I keep seeing them listed on eBay and I'm wondering how they can do that since the release date was pushed back to August for the States..... was it available somehow through another distributor for Europe?

Also, I am seeing vinyl copies of TOT for sale as well in Europe - did they release a standard vinyl for the album or does anyone know if those are the colored vinyls? 

I've been trying to add promotional/tour posters to my collection for some reason lately.  Ha!  I cannot for the life of me PRY myself off trolling eBay...... :-\
Title: Re: HIM Collections
Post by: Haddonfield on July 16, 2013, 06:47:57 AM
You're seeing the double regular black vinyls, or the double blue ones? I've only seen the black ones on there. I pre-ordered from The Omega Order a shit long time ago for the blue ones. They keep pushing the date back. Was supposed to released at the end of June. The 24th, I believe.

And yes, there is a regular black vinyl for TOT as well, just like with Two Decades, except the TOT is a single vinyl instead of a double. If the TOT, or the Two Decades for that matter, don't say anything about a color, they're just the normal ones.

Thanks Cory! I appreciate the info. Hmm, now that you mention it, it must have been the regular LP's on there for XX. I didn't realize there were regular vinyl versions for both TOT and XX.  Just something else for me to friggin collect, ha!

I did get an email today that my XX blue LP's were shipped so hopefully yours will be on the way too!

Thanks again for the clarification!

I sold my spare copy of deep shadows and brilliant highlights Work In Progress for $350 back in April and a Brown Razorblade Romance Cardsleeve probably $150-200 easily or even more possibly they are two of the so called big items.

I'm excited to say that I finally was able to add the HIM books to my collection. I lucked up and found someone in the US that had perfect copies they were willing to part with.  Yay me!

Now the question is this- seriously, if you love a band so much and go through all that money and hassle to collect stuff from overseas, could you ever part with it? Not me. Even if I didn't like the band as much anymore, I still couldn't part with it. I got a lot of magazines and stuff from this person too....just seems so crazy, but hey, they sell I buy. LOL.

I personally wouldn't part with it now but I don't know how ill feel if I stop liking HIM, I think also some HIM stuff is difficult to find so I wouldn't want to try and search for certain CDs again.

Plus, I heard there's only 1, maybe 11 copies, EVER.  So like...yeah...if you had it, you couldn't confirm that there was an acoustic version as  you wouldn't dare open it.

I didn't bid on it because I knew it would be way too much.  I was kinda hoping I could get DS&BH GUN Promo but someone beat me out at the last minute.  That and the maze heart single sacrament would have been nice to have.

Do you remember how much you paid for the The Sacrament promo? I've been out of collecting for awhile now, so I don't really know what things go for now and how much the prices have changed. It seems like they're much lower now, which sucks because I'd like to get rid of most of the rest of the stuff I've got and haven't sold yet, but I don't wanna just give it away. The reason I ask about that promo is because I've got one with the original fact sheet that came with it and I haven't really seen too many of those. It's one of the things I'd like to put on eBay, but if they go for cheap now even without the fact sheet (unless yours came with one, I don't know) it makes more sense for me to hold onto my stuff and wait until a HIM craze starts up again, probably around the time of the next album even though that's a ways away. I should've been a seller more instead of a buyer during the Tears On Tape release, damn it. I sold some stuff, but bought more. Then I got ripped off on selling a $200 US Tears On Tape promo to some douchebag who claimed they never got it, and it put me off from selling after that. I could've made a damn killing back then. I hope most of the “rare” things are still moderately expensive at least.

I bought it for $90 which I thought was reasonable as I've seen them sell for over $200 I think now is a bad time to sell HIM stuff, in the middle of an album cycle. HIM stuff was high priced around when TOT came out then dropped off again same happened when Screamworks came out. Id wait until the reissues come out and see if that raises the interest in HIM CDs. As for the info sheet I've seen them in the past with info sheets and hand numbered, but not for a while. I'd imagine it could add $50 or something to the right buyer.

$90 actually isn't too bad, honestly. The last I knew, they were going for $80 on average without the sheet, and that's how much I was expecting I might get for it now if I was lucky with the sheet included with the drop in prices since there's a major lull in things, but I guess there are still some items that haven't gone down a whole lot in value like a lot of others I've seen have, although I do find it weird what some of the things are that are still expensive while other things you'd normally think of as better and more desirable aren't. Some of them don't make any sense at all to me, but that's still encouraging news. I might go ahead and throw some stuff up on eBay after all with a reserve price just in case, and just see what happens. I still have some high priced stuff I haven't sold yet. It'll be kind of bittersweet once I sell it all and I'm left with nothing, but I had a good ten years of fun on and off selling and buying whatever I could get my hands on. Thanks for the quick response. A PS4 is going to be in my future as long as someone doesn't rip me off again haha. I should still have a lot of stuff leftover after that too, but maybe I'll save those items for a better time for maximum value.

i tend to get high prices if i put things on as buy it now or best offer which has got me $350 for DS&BH work in progress and over $500 for a HER pink promo so with the rarer things id go down that route if i was you. I have seen the price skyrocket on some things over time like pink wicked game singles I've seen sell for in excess of $200 and the venus doom leathery/special/bonus/super heartagram edition journal thing sell for a ridiculous price look at the USD price ;D (Not me selling)

That's absolutely ridiculous for the Venus Doom lol. I've owned two of those over the years. One I pre-ordered when it was first coming out, and then the other I got much later on. The one I got later I'm pretty sure I got for cheaper than the first one when it was new. That's exactly what I mean about some weird things being expensive all of a sudden for really no reason at all for the most part, though, and then the things that were once were expensive, and were that way for a really long time, are cheap now. I just browsed eBay earlier to see what's going on at the moment, and I still see that a certain someone is still trying to sell the same CDs they've been trying to sell for months upon months. They keep lowering and lowering the prices and no one's biting on them. No one wants a When Love And Death Embrace digipak for $60. No one wants a HER Razorblade Romance for $100. It's kind of sad, both for him and for someone like me who would like to sell what they have without taking anywhere from a small to a huge loss on my investment in each item. For each thing that I got a really good deal on, I either paid full price or overpaid for something else because I just wanted it right then and now. And then there's both a Heartkiller and a Scared To Death promo from Denmark that are each only at $9.99 at the moment. That's a steal as far as I'm concerned. If I was still collecting, I'd snatch those up myself. I also see marta30's Gone With The Sin on there, I think. Too rich for my blood. That's something I have never owned and would still like to, actually. Even though I have no intentions of ever collecting again, there's still a few things I'd like to have that have always been way too expensive for me to be comfortable with buying, or just simply too rare to pop up on eBay randomly more than once, if at all.

EDIT: Holy fuck, I just looked into shipping to other countries, and I had heard the prices had gone up, but I didn't know that it could now cost me anywhere between $20-40 to send a CD to the UK, for example. That's fucking retarded. Around the time of Tears On Tape, I sent out a bunch of packages overseas. I don't think shipping was ever more than $7, if even that. I don't think anyone is gonna wanna spend a bunch on a CD and then drop another $40 to have it shipped. I'm certainly not gonna pay all of that, or even half. Plus, my post office told me that not everywhere has insurance and tracking available to me depending on where I send the item, and that's pretty fucking stupid as well. Makes it pretty easy for another person to say to me that they never got the package and for eBay to side with their lying ass because of it. They're really making this hard on me haha. Guess I'll be holding onto my stuff for a little while longer.

I remember you saying about getting scammed on a TOT promo to me on ebay because I sold you a YS666 Digipak around that time. As a general rule most people are honest but it only takes one. Also ebay/paypal always side with the buyer for some reason. Yeah I bought mine for $34.99 or something from heartagram.com back in 2007. In the UK it's about £15 with insurance to ship an expensive CD to the US which is like $25 or so.

The good thing about the promo, even though the dude ended up getting it for free from me, was that I only paid $40 for it to begin with on a Buy It Now, so I wasn't out a whole lot, but making such a large profit off of it sure would've been nice. They were going for big money back then, I just happened to get lucky and see one of the first ones put on there before the sellers realized how much they could charge for it. I wonder if that person ended up selling it themselves between then and now, or if it's still a part of their collection. I'd love to run across it someday in someone's collection pictures online just to see who has it now. The shipping nowadays is just ridiculous, though. It sucks that I can have a CD sent to me from the UK and the buyer can make sure I actually received it so there aren't any problems on their end and whatnot, but I can't do the same if I'm sending something over there, apparently. Even if they charge me $40 to send the package, I'm at the mercy of the buyer to be honest about the transaction. They said it depends on exactly where I send it to as far as what I'm able to do about insurance and tracking and shit, but that's still kinda bullshit, and it's still expensive as hell compared to what it just was not really all that long ago. That one promo is the only time I've ever had anything go wrong when I've sold something on eBay, but I'm definitely not gonna take the chance it happens again, especially on things that I spent a good amount of money on. The dude who ripped me off even had the nerve to make a sarcastic comment about how I should've gotten insurance for it, which I probably wasn't even able to do knowing what I know now about how it works for sending things over there, but I just trusted that people wouldn't do that, plus I didn't wanna charge them a shitload for shipping on top of an already expensive CD. It's just strange that all of the other packages I sent out that day made it to their destinations with no problems and in only a few days lol.

Collecting has gotten so shitty in the last year or two. I barely buy anything, let alone sell.
Title: Re: HIM Collections
Post by: SwagSaget on August 28, 2014, 09:39:24 PM
Shitty is right. I hope it comes back to life soon, just long enough for me to sell what I need to sell and get the hell out. It can go back to being shitty again right after that. The collector in me thinks that the way prices are now is the way they should've always been, but the seller in me thinks the prices are way too low and should be about three times higher on everything if not more. 8)

In the end, though, if I could just get my money back I would be happy. I don't wanna lose money because I went eBay crazy one day and spent $250 on a CD with only four songs on it or something like that. If I could break even, that would be cool. It would still be a good amount of money, and then maybe one day I could get back into collecting again when people aren't even able to give this stuff away, if I'm still a fan of the band at that time.

Well, this is awkward. I'm not sure if you're being serious or not, but if you are I hate to be the bearer of bad news: Venus Doom was never released on that format.

yeah Venus Doom is not available on the Vinyl. Only songs from Venus Doom can be found on the Vinyls of XX Two decades of Love Metal - The Kiss of Dawn Radio Edit and Bleed Well Radio Edit

i dont know if we will have a proper official Vinyl of Venus Doom , but it would have been nice
and of course Digital Versatile Doom on Vinyl too!

Yeah on both and the discs too which is always nice, I had a YS666 Digi with the sticker before but it was a bit damaged. Also a near mint copy with no sticker which I believe 666WTLONVINYLFTW bought off me a few years back.
