nirvana a season in hell

I currently own a set of nirvana cds called A Season in Hell. I have been told that they are extremely rare and may be worth a lot of money. However i have not been able to find another set to compare mine with or a place who could tell me the value. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ps i am not interested in selling them, just would like a value. Thank you. Mike

rare Bob Seger/Grateful dead cd

About 20 years ago, I purchased a Bob Seger Nine Tonight cd. When I got it home, All the Art work and cd were correct, But The recorded material was The Grateful Dead Live somewhere.
I am curious if this cd has any value. I assume it is 1 of a kind.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Prince CD

Sure, go ahead and link to it! Hold out for the big money. If this is in mint condition you shouldn't take less than $2500. Don't be inpatient and let someone steal this ultra-rare CD.

Thanks for the comments!

Rare CD - Prince

I have this My Name Was Prince CD.

Where can I go to sell it? Do you think eBay would be a good place? I want to be sure that I get top dollar.

Can I link to this page on my listing?
