IncitingChaos Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 http://www.ebay.com/itm/331279660096 Not sure if this is the right place, but it's rare for one of these to come up for sale. Just thought I'd help make some people aware that are willing to spend this amount for a copy. Obviously I don't feel it's worth $500 but someone might! I still love this cover.

Young_Gun Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 LOLLLLL $500!!!!! I'll take 50 copies please!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 This guy puts them up kinda regularly, he found a box with a lot (I think I read as high as 90??) of red hand CDs. I wouldn't pay $500 for one. People keep buying them though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 The artwork is cooler than the bike one... not $500 cool though. I would pay a heatly 20 bucks to get the red hand cover, not much more than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkAboutYou Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 There's two sellers that seem to have many media_guy3000 is said to have 90 and dagodard must have a few his sold 3 that I know about 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Well he's smart to not sell them at a fast rate. Helps keep the value up. But I'm with you guys, $500 is ridiculous. I wonder how the perception would be if the album had been a success and met expectations. I could see the value of these rare copies sky rocketing, but as it stands the album is only cool for us.

ThinkAboutYou Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 When not many had been found a couple of years ago some were selling for $650- $1000 but obviously the more that are found the price goes down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Even after reading the Axl chats I don't understand how these covers were not implemented in the release. Someone dropped the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciusfunk Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Whenever I hit Best Buy or any other store with a sizeable CD section I'll look for it, but I haven't even seen ChiDem in a Best Buy in a while. Books-A-Million has a couple normal copies for $5 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troccoli's and Hitman's look exactly the same as that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Of The Blues Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Would realistically chuck 50-60 bucks for the red hand and no more because i am a cheap skate but as a legit price probably 200 because at the end of the day how many people really want one for such a price tag. If there are 90 copies, let them go for a reasonably good profit then everyone is happy. The regular edition is worth peanuts and there has to be more of these out there to turn up somewhere?

Almost Famous Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) 90 is an unsubstantiated rumor number. That seller, media guy, has already sold all of his. Someone pulled ninety out of their ass and everyone took it as gospel. Edited August 10, 2014 by Almost Famous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a post from Tim on Facebook about media guy selling another one AFTER the "final" auction ended, but the description didn't have the last copy mention in it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbhutto Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yeah, media_guy wasn't exactly entirely forthcoming with info on those (not that they have to be). Well, they were at first (the original auction actually had a pic with 3 of the Red Hand CDs showing) and then idk. Which they did have several (at least a couple) of auctions starting at $1 or whatever.But yeah, GnR don't exactly have a huge amount of merch beyond the typical stuff, so the mythical Red Hand alt artwork CD is pretty cool imo.
