Looking for - Venus Doom (Limited Edition)
« on: September 22, 2013, 04:31:57 PM »
I never got around to buying this when it was still available on heartagram.com, now it is impossible to find. I'm desperately looking for a copy, new or used, and complete. If anyone has a spare copy, and is willing to part with it, I'm willing to pay.

$200 is my limit.



I might as well add a few other items that have yet to find there way into my collection (I'll include my price range):

HER - Razorblade Romance ($100)
Greatest Lovesongs, Vol. 666 Tin Case ($50)
Dark Light Vinyl ($100)

Check Ebay. The VD pops up once in a while, i've seen it few days ago maybe it's still there.

Good luck finding HER RR for $100. In mint condition it's $150, but if you have luck for less...I've seen it On Ebay For Like GBP 30 too :)

You'll pay $200 for the Venus Doom, but only $100 for the HER RR and Dark Light vinyl? Wat

Please don't pay anywhere near that much for the Venus Doom. I'm begging you. It's worth just as much now as it was back then. There's nothing really special about it. It's a limited edition, yeah, but it's not something from way back in the day with a very limited production that's sought after. Hell, if I can find mine I'll give it to you. I gave up on collecting because there's too many people that "absolutely need to have" something and they will pay way way over what it's worth just to get it.

This slipped under the radar for me. Thanks for this!

I saw this a couple days ago. I messaged the seller about other paymet options, and he/she only accepts paypal. The thing is, I haven't been able to use paypal for years now due to some "issue" with my account. I am unable to transfer money from my bank account into the paypal account. At first they put my account on hold, telling me I had to provide my SSN, which I did, but now, if I'm correct, they also need a photo copy of my ID and some other bullshit. I don't use paypal or ebay anymore, otherwise, I'd be going for this. Paypal gives me "MoneyPack" as an option, but by the time I could buy the card and put the money into my account (also assuming there would be a 3 or so day waiting period for the funds to be available) the auction would be over by then. So I basically just brushed the auction out of mind and continued looking (with no luck).

To my recollection, I've more often times seen HER for sale (not including the fakes) than VD Limited. Plus that price is warranted based solely on the fact that I would prefer to have the VD limited over HER; but that's just me. There's nothing "really special" about the HER printing of RR, either.

Plus, I said $200 is my limit, meaning that it is simply the price window for any potential sellers to work with. I wouldn't assume that anyone here would ask that much, but as I said, if so, it's not an offer I would turn down.

I just set up a PayPal account for my boss and they asked him for his SSN.  He wasn't too keen on giving that out so they did a verification process where they deposited two small amounts separately into his account (ex. .02 and .17 cents) Then, I went on to PayPal and put the deposit amounts in and we were verified.  I'd call and ask if they can do that for your problem.  I know that means you'll miss your chance on getting VD but if it relists then you can get it.

Crowley,

There is something special about the HER version of RR. You know exactly what makes it special. Regardless, just because you've seen more of those than the Venus Dooms doesn't mean you should pay more for the Venus Doom. Rare doesn't equal expensive in every instance. I wouldn't consider 666 Ways To Love rare, it seems like there's always someone selling one, but it's expensive because of what it is. There are a lot of HIM items that are really hard to find that aren't worth that much. No matter how much you want it, I'm doing you a favor by telling you not to go over what it sold for back then. The people who collect this stuff will look for any opportunity to rip you off. These things simply aren't worth the asking prices. Just be realistic and be careful.

Seriously Corey's right don't pay $200 for that it really isn't anything special and the GLS Vol.666 tin I wouldn't pay more than $20-25. Also if you can find a HER RR for $100 good for you but if you're looking for a really special copy JFRC is selling a sealed original copy for $400 I know its a lot but it's an extra bit of history.

Yeah I'm not really sure how essentially the record company can sell the cd for $400 but there you go, if you're really looking to sell yours I'd put it on ebay I've seen non-sealed
copies sell for $300 this year, you could probably get around the same amount that Jimmy is asking for as I don't think too many people know about the copy on the bloodhound gang store

I had no idea there was a tin for GLSV666!  Dang, I didn't even know that existed.  And dare I say that Ebay is addicting. I've been slowly weaning myself away from it.  I spent so much over the summer on collecting magazines that it's almost embarrassing, but I don't care. :P  And I really got into getting those 11x17 promo concert posters, too.  If I only had a bigger place to display all my stuff I would be set.
