20 Most Expensive Rock CD's that Sold on EBAY last month ⭐ Is there a CD resurgence going on? 

Still buy cds all the time the only way I'll listen to music, no downloading or streaming for me. I'll always support physical media !!!

I only own cd. Actually close to 4 thousand. Vinyl forget it. Great video as usual.

I know this video was made some time ago but I am glad to see CDs getting some notice on RU-vid.

This is a really interesting topic! The CD resurgence is gonna be awesome! Vinyl made a big comeback, and I hope CDs are next in stores. A few years ago, seeing CD selections at stores diminish and vinyl popping up everywhere felt weird at first... like I was stepping some kind of time warp lol

I buy CDs every week I'm a big big music collector of Rock and metal music. I have a big music library over 9000 or more I need to count them again I love music 🎶. Even collect Guitars. 🤘🎸🎶🥁

Just waiting for the cassette tape resurgence. I got a couple hundred of thoes from back in the day.

been collecting and reselling etc etc for 37 years and have around 20,000 cds mostly all forms of Rock/Metal from 1975-1985, no fakes, burns, russian or unofficial releases.. also no hits, collections or best of’s.. have a ton of japanese versions.. and i’m still buying to this day..

I still buy CDs and will continue to buy them!!!👍 By the way, my most expensive cd purchase on ebay was a brand new unopened copy of the album Subterranean Jungle by the Ramones for $80👍

Depending on what it is, I have no problem still buying cds. I’m kinda old so I’ve had vinyl records since 1970. Still have them. And I’m loathe to replace it all. But yeah I’ll still get CDs of things I’m not necessarily wanting and needing on vinyl. As far as sound, I still prefer the analog vinyl, but CDs work just fine. I’m not hearing that huge of a difference. Maybe because I’m old, lol!

Great vid! This has been going on for awhile, and you’ll continue to see rare, OOP, imports, and lots of them will be SACD or CD/SACD hybrid discs. Among others, I actually have Sabbath’s Paranoid in this same Japan -only SACD series as the original album here on this list. It was like 5,000 Japanese yen when I bought it in Japan over ten years ago new, and I know it’s been valuable for years.

CD’s should make a comeback- I still have my collection- 177 in total- Good video anyways - Rock on 🤟🏻🤟🏻

The telling fact here is that just about everyone of these are SACDs, limited edition and rare, and/or signed by the artist/band. This doesn’t in anyway indicate that there’s a “CD collecting resurgence” sweeping across the universe. You CD collectors are funny. Are ya’ll feeling left out of the music format wars, or something…??? Funny. Anyway, I like CDs. I like vinyl more, but CDs are fine. I still buy them occasionally. I’m a Gen X’er, and when I was a kid, vinyl was towards the end of its run, but was still the top format. There has never been a time in my life when I didn’t own LPs or prefer the vinyl format. As I got older, and CDs became top dog, I didn’t donate my collection to the local Goodwill, or abandon it next to the neighborhood dumpster (I know several people who did), and then run out and replace with CDs. I never understood why anyone would do that, but that’s just me. At the end of the day I couldn’t care less what someone’s preferred physical format is, be it CD, vinyl, R2R, or cassette, doesn’t matter. What’s important, is that people are still buying, and listening to physical music mediums. I hate digital downloads and streaming, and in my opinion, these virtual formats if you will, have reduced the art of music, the art of creating, and recording to nothing more than a cheap commodity that can be discarded in seconds with the click of a button, or swipe of a finger. It has no intrinsic value or meaning any longer. Without investment, there can be no return. On a lighter note…. There’s no way in hell I would spend $100+ on a little plastic jewel case with a shiny little silver disc inside. 😜 😂

I missed a signed CD of Biggie Small at Goodwill for $3. Saw it sold on ebay the next day for $500

I still have the mfsl hysteria mint condition

Original Japanese and German press CDs have been climbing in recent times, all the original Target CDs too. Most sound amazing with modern quality DACs.

I was amazed when I got £25 for Tommy Bolin’s Teaser last month

Man the price of that Priest CD $$$$ crazy. Is KK even on that one?

I've been collecting for over 20 years...I have over 2500...I have rare stuff signed too...BUY CDS..🎸🇬🇧🤘🇬🇧🤘🇬🇧🤘🎸🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🤘🇬🇧

Back in 2011, I paid $80.00 for a Japanese issue of a CD called Rick Springfield 12 inch singles and now if you can find it the price range is between $300 to $1,200 very rare I still have mine in damn near mint condition.

I must say, these folks buying have good taste! Rock on!

I sold a weird al Yankovic narrating Peter and the wolf CD for 100 bucks like 10 years ago.

Early 2022 on Discogs I bought Soundbarrier's 1983 debut album on cd for $ 140, and it was a great relief as I looked for the cd since the early 2000s.

Yeah,pretty cool presentation. Lookin' forward to you revisiting this aspect of CD collecting again.

very interesting video. people pay high price, for hard rock, metal, hope to see more video like that. really hope the CD will make a solid comeback soon!!

I still buy cds to this day and I've been finding some pretty expensive cds. I like the retrospect records label with the old bands. But having a hard time finding some of them. All the bands you've mentioned are really cool. I also like the NWOBHM bands, too many to mention.

I paid over $60 for Powermad "Absolute Power" about 10 years ago. Great video!!

very interesting thanks - it shows that people are going back to good full bodied sound which can be obtained through a CD because they are recorded in WAV files which capture all of the sound. - While MP3 tracks which are most of what people download only capture part of the sound and actually cut off parts of the high end and the low end to make the tracks file footprint smaller.

geez and i thought i was crazy paying $65 for the Club Paradise soundtrack on CD a few years ago.

I should sell my Powerage cd for sure, buy a half ounce of gold

It’s great to have something physical so can see album art, track list and liner notes. Also modern $1000usd media players that will play CD/SACD etc sound amazing

I must have hundreds of cd's, my uncle left me his collection, then add to mine and my fathers..its a lot! I still have my vinyl records also from back in the 80s and 70s, and all my cassettes from the 80s too. And I think and 8 track or two my father had. AND also tons and tons of 45 vinyls we would put on our jukebox. It is a huge collection of rock from all era's, blues, country and the 50s car hop sound..my family current and past love/d music. So is it any surprise I became a DJ later on in my life lol.

I sold a The Scaries - Over You CD for $75 almost as soon as I listed it. CDs will pretty much always be popular.

As a Gen-Xer, I love having my music in the cloud and on my computer and phone, but I still buy used CDs. The kind of music I like is easy to find used, used CDs are generally super cheap, like 1/10th the price of buying the album on ITunes, and I can rip them into my online music collection so I have instant music anywhere AND physical media backups AND I own it 100% legally and no one can take it away. Best of both worlds, but that just describes Gen X right there! :)

Great video thank you keep it going I have a lot of these you mentioned been collecting since the first cd came out great video -- Anthony

To each their own. None of those would be worth that much to me. If the buyers were happy, I’m glad.

I would like that Zeppelin concert for sure but could never afford that specific disc

i saw TNT`s Knights of the New Thunder album for sale at ebay or amazon for $80 ,this was about a decades ago

I got that 3 disc Deep Purple set at a great record store in Brookfield Ct. for 25 bucks about 5 years ago.

Totally mind blowing! Thanks for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😎👍♥️🔊🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Hey sir these are awesome I would love to see more of these type of videos damn that's a crazy I wish I had some in my collection not one

People have the right to set whatever price for their CDs, but people also have the right to avoid being ripped off by those fxxkers. I am a Japanese but didn’t know some of the Japanese version CDs can fetch a lot of money.

Pretty interesting to see a lot of these are japanese pressings/made in japan

This is a really good video, it really is interesting these days to see what you can find an old record stores and pawn shops if you have a little bit of hard rock or heavy metal knowledge I found a shotgun Messiah second-coming CD for $3 it is listed for 40$ on discogs I could go on all day about the things I found it sure is fun looking for old music on cd at pawn shops thrift stores anywhere I find them

CDs are a bargain for the most part and there is plenty of evidence listeners cannot tell the difference with vinyl

I was thinking who is crazy enough to pay that much for a CD and I looked over at the table and saw that package of 8 PCGS Silver Dimes I just bought on Ebay. Yep we all have our weaknesses 😆 🤣. Thanks for sharing and take care ✌️ 🤘

And what do they have in common? Metal still rules!

Wow. I've got most of these albums for a £ or for free from bootleg sites. Subbed

Keep in mind that the LED ZEPPELIN - ARC OF THE COVENANT is an 18 CD set.

I have so many cd's still. I didn't know they had any worth to them.

I think the most expensive one we've sold was Macho Man by Randy Savage. Went around $75 if I remember correctly.

I have the Deep purple live in Japan box set only paid £12 for it .

That Judas Priest CD was not signed by the original band. The original lineup had KK Downing. I think Ian Hill is the only remay original member. Even Halford wasn't the original singer but would give him a pass since no other singer has been on their albums

I have an autographed copy of Great White's "Can't Get There From Here"....any bidders🙂? Cool list man - cds are still one of my favorite mediums for music!

In 1989 I bought and still have two AC/DC boxed sets.

Cd's are still amazing. Easyier to store and you don't have to flip it over every 15 mins like vinyl.

I listen to my CDs and my classic vynel records I love to spin on my turntable! I love the physical ownership and not this smartphone and log on crap!

I wonder what the original Electra release of Queen's Greatest Hits with Under Pressure on it would go for?

note that not all listings were actually sold but ended by the seller instead. means that some were asking prizes!

Beatles albums are hard to find, perhaps because they aren't on spotify. I'm looking for George Harrison's 'All things must pass', White Album and Sgt Pepper.

Anyone else looking at this collect Hi Res format like SA-CD ? In my 25 years of collecting I only know of the person who introduced it to me and the people who have bought from me.

Nice to see its classic rock era stuff and not garbage. Keep on rockin!

I get most of my cds at wal-mart.

I'll have to check the prices of my MFSO and SACD CDs 🤟

And this is just for rock CDs, I’ve sold some expensive jazz CDs for over $200, and a buddy of mine sold a rare G-Funk CD to a buyer in Japan years back for close to $2K ! There’s some spendy CDs out there.

I don’t understand why CDs have not done well in sales. I might get it if you are very good about making back ups of all your music. That is in case your devices crash and you can’t retrieve. I don’t trust myself on always backing up my music. If I buy a CD not only I get a original cover but the music which I just upload and put it away. Any problems down the road no problem. I have a basically brand new CD to fix the lose without having to purchase again! If the younger generation can explain why they don’t prefer buying the CD please respond. Not joking I am only wondering because maybe I am missing something you may know. Thanks

If you included BOX SETS, my passion is for POST PUNK BOX SETS. 1. Comstat Angels ITs HISTORY (their Polidor LPS and rarities disc) $600.00...boss came in; Gotta Go

I wish that I still had a lot of the records that I used to own. I’m sure that they would bring me some money on eBay.

To be honest, all but AC-DC Powerage are special editions in some way and not standard copies. I keep hoping to find Australian copies of AC-DC cds in charity shops, but you have to trawl through hundreds of copies of Take That, Aled Jones, Spice Girls etc! Still, I'll keep looking!

I have a CD copy of Back In Black which I AM NOT SELLING signed by Angus Young and Brian Johnson.Any idea what its worth ?

you should look up 80s thrash metal slayer, testament, overkill,manowar etc all has high values on there first pressing

Good video, you can do this as a series

These are all limited run collectors versions of course. The standard versions of most of these are still plentiful and cheap.

Did anyone buy 20 or 30 $5 cds from Walmart when they downsized cd sections a few years ago I did now some of same ones are$7 to$9

Great video, cool, thanks

I got Rainbow 1976 album Rising on CD 💿. 😀👍🎸🤘

I have a copy of Led Zeppelin Live imprinted in my brain from when I saw them in 1977 for $10 it’s not for sale.

I still like CD'S. 😀👍💿

why would the original lineup of priest sign a cd that they did not play on? there's not a single current member of that band that was even in the original lineup.

What do you use to see these sales ?

Had no idea they played Jersey. By 1980, you would have had to pay me to go see Rush in concert. I saw them when they were great and the very first tour!! Most of you guys didn’t even here of them until they were done with metal, 2112. Never got to see Guy. You are lucky. Saw them in ‘81 and the Riot Live was 6 songs and Guy was not on that album, sorry. I have the original ep., or did until I sold all My vinyl and bought a brand new Caddy!

I have Grace Under Pressure but not Japanese pressing. A friend has a gold pressing of Pyromania.

So that’s why this guy has a 100 cd loose lot of rock cds on eBay price started at 99 cents and now bid is up to 80.. and the first cd that’s up top is Iron Maiden!

CD's are the way to go , no need to buy expensive turntables, needles etc

Wounded bird label routinely sell between 100-200 on ebay.

Buy them up while you can.. I'm seeing stores pop up.

I assume it depends on where you live. Where I live many stores and many people (including myself) give away CDs for free. I had a store reject Prince, Eric Clapton, AC/DC and Pink Floyd CDs when I tried to sell them so after I put the songs I like into my iTunes library I either put the CDs into local book boxes on the street or I put them into plastic bags and leave them on top of the recycling bins at the park.

I have all those on 8 Track Tape except the thin Lizzy Rush n Maiden, Why do I need the CD

Got the DP 3 disc for $40 bucks in 1988

Play all this KEXP

It's a bit sad that those expensive NIB discs are almost certainly bought to be collected & will never be opened & played. CDs are still quite popular (well, not on YTube) & I'm sure younger music fans will be building collections inexpensively with them while older fans like me look forward to all the special features in anniversary reissues of favorites (on CD, BluRay & DVD).

The Ozzy signed cd shouldnt be on the list... that was for 11 copies. It was a bulk lot. They sell for like $70 for one.

Give us info we can actually use, no one is finding Japanese or other exotic CDs in the wild. People want to know what to look out for when they are hunting in the states

I think the most expensive CD i own is the slipknot mate feed kill repeat original pressing cd

The thing about this list is,These selection’s have a limited or rare quality to them.

These are niche collectibles, not signs of a resurgence of CD's. First pressings, Japanese pressing with obi strips, long boxes, audiophile versions, autographed, etc. Would be more curious to see the highest selling albums are that are "standard" albums released in the US.

I new that would happen I paid 70 dollars for a few cds already.

mindless self-indulgence by james euringer went for 666 dollars a while ago

these cds were always expensive no resurgence in my opinion

I have a cassette of Metallica Kill Em All on megaforce records. I'll Sell it for $300

Damn and I thought I was crazy buying about 20 audio fidelity gold sacd limited edition cd hybrid ranging from $20 to $30 when they 1st came out now sell$60 to$80 any one want to buy my limited edition In Rock by Deep Purple starting bid$250 just kidding it's priceless to me but would be hard pressed to pay $40 those Japanese pressings use a better plastic that has less jitter but you have to have audiophile equipment and ears to tell the difference There are deals to be had perfect strangers by deep purple remastered Japanese pressing $18 and change Deep purple In Concert 2001 spitfire remastered version same price reasonably priced remastered version of David gilmour my Christmas presents for myself Had a very rockin, Christmas
