How much do you pay for your Opeth CDs?

[Benighted Joe]

Can't remember the prices of my old Opeth records, but I payed over price for GR. 200 swedish kronor is like $25.

However it was the last one they had the first day it was released and I didn't even bother to look anywhere else.

 

[biggsy]

usually $30 AUS... which would be what, $20-$23US? i dont know... havent looked at the exchange rate recently. i dont mind the price, its just the availability i get shitty with. i live in the country so theres no metal shops for 150km

I have a question. What % of songs do you just download without purchasing the album, as opposed to buying?

I remember there was this arguement by the music industry that assumed people wouldn't buy cd's anymore and well, this at least doesn't appear to be the case with Opeth!

I personally hate buying CD's .. I however buy DVD's all the time.

I prefer to buy albums of bands I really like... plus now since starting this I have a stupid collecting habit so if I have one album I need to complete the discography... it's gonne drive me into the ground if i start listening to Black Sabbath again...

 

[martyrs_price]

Yeah I can honestly say I have never downloaded a song. I like to support the bands that mean something to me. I typically pay anywhere from 10-$25 per c.d.

some fan you are

I paid $10-$18 for my Opeth albums.
Least I ever paid for a full-length CD by any band: $3
Most I ever paid for a non-double album, non-import: $21
Most paid ever on any album: $35
*USD.

 

[Miltbrand]

Guess it´s around 13 Euros

Most paid ever on any album: $35

$70 for an Anthrax album on ebay!

 

[A Reason To Sing]

No album is priced over 20, unless it's some type of a special edition, or it has something else to offer. DVD...what have you ....

The older albums, they where under 16, I believe, just around 16. The newer material was around 18. I bought the limited edition of BWP for about 20.

Not bad, they where all worth it. Every freaking penny. Opeth is out of this world.

 

[Zephyrus]

Still Life - used digi-pack, 20 bucks

You got raped. I got the digipack new for 11 bucks.

Amazon is your friend. Damnation was my first album and I paid 19 bucks for that *shudder* but that's behind me now. Since then I haven't paid more than 12 for one.

The only exception would be if I was at a gig and bought them at the merch stand, but I've never managed to make it to an Opeth gig unfortunately

 

[Khayman666]

I paid between $15 and $22 CAD for all of 'em, only exceptions being MAYH (european original) for $26 CAD at CD Plus, and Orchid for £14.95 (about $36CAD at the time) in HMV in Belfast.

 

[daz436]

I paid £18 for Damnation, £18 for Deliverance, £18 For Orchid, £18 For Morningrise.

I got stung, but I didnt care at the time cos I just wanted the fucking disks so bad and nowhere else in the city had them.

thats like 30 US dollars each i think

 

[Khayman666]

Virgin, HMV, or other? I refuse to buy from either now. They really can be a rip off if you're buying anything that isn't in the charts (though to be fair, they're not too bad when it comes to January sales. I bought Bruce Dickinson's Scream for me Brazil for £2.99)

 

[BloodSword]

Whoa, that's a lot of ducketts man. Check out Laser's Edge run by a very knowledgable guy Ken Golden. I got BWP limited edition for 16. I think I saw Lamentations DVD for 9. Still life I payed 11. You got to look around man. If your looking for any Camel stay away from Amazon. They will RIP you.Example: they wanted 21.99 for "Mirage" remastered. I looked and found it for 11, from a third party seller--same remaster. You work hard for your money. Be a little more diligent.Peace.

I lived in Canada when I bought mine -

Orchid - $15 (second hand, local record shop)
Blackwater Park - $21 (new, HMV)
Deliverance - $20 (new, local record shop)

and get this: My Arms, Your Hearse, the rare edition without the name on the cover with the Opeth sticker still perfectly intact, for $9 at the local record shop. Hahaha, suckers!

+1.


Amazon is totally not a friend of mine. HMV, Virgin, Tower, or the horrid megastores.

Lasercd is definitely the way to go... or other online distributors that aren't out to murder you.

 

[TheSilentMirror]

$0 :Spin:

 

[Splintered Vision]

About $20-$30 Aus dollars.
I generally download one or 2 songs from an album, and if i like those song enough i go buy the album. Lately i've been downloading the full album via torrents and then buying the album if i think its worth it. More times than not i end up buying the CD.

Wow you guys are not paying too much for your cds... Opeths older stuff (Orchid, MAYH, Morningrise etc) costs about 25-30$ over here in Canada. Everything else is about 15-20$.
