Collection of 400 Black/Death Metal CDs and Vintage Shirts I Scored For $1700

In the video below, you can see a collection of around 400 CDs and 25 vintage T-shirts that I picked up for $1700. The original owner bought them up in the 80s and 90s while stationed in Germany in the military.

The seller contacted me, and we completed the transaction by mail with no issues, paying via PayPal. The seller was pleased with the amount that I paid, and honestly, I’m sure I could’ve paid less, but I like to be fair.

While $1700 is a lot to pay for a collection this small, I figured I could easily recoup my money on the T-shirts alone. Included were original Slayer tour shirts from 1987 and 1994, Stormtroopers of Death 1992 tour shirt, Agnostic Front, and many others.

There were even some DVDs and VHS included with the deal. The Dissection VHS included was very rare.

We are expanding our buying efforts here at Thrash Metal IQ and are actively seeking collections of vintage heavy-metal T-shirts to purchase. If you have T-shirts you would like to sell, check out our new dedicated page here for more information.
