I had a second copy that I was going to put on eBay, but when I saw the line through the barcode, I realized that no listener would want this, so it went to Goodwill.
"Marking pen line through bar code" appears in that eBay listing. That sounds very scary, as if the item is already considered a cut-out.
Promotional (advance) copies are also often marked with a barcode slash, hole punch, etc. If yours isn't marked in such a way, you could probably fetch at least a cool g for it.
If the item is highly sought after, a slash through the bar code will be pretty irrelevant for a lot of people.

that must be the one I got at the Goodwill store. I wasnt interested in it at first, but when I saw the line thru the barcode I decided to buy it and incinerate it since it wasnt a legal release. I'm surprised you didnt do that yourself.
A few months back there was a copy or copies available from Ark Square. I placed my order, they told me it was not available. Multiple copies were also available on eBay from a particular seller. All gone. I wonder why the retraction. Bear seems professional enough to check legal matters before releasing something.
Any other soundtracks with similar fate? I think Brad Fiedel's The Serpent And The Rainbow from Varese was retracted.
Holy Jeez! $362.00? Man, I really hope Bear family can resolve whatever legal issue they had that prevented this release, even if they have to leave off a few tracks (as long as it's not the score tracks).
