I was looking at what i bought this year. There is some good stuff there. So what are your. Can be vinyl, cassette, cd, dvd, etc. It can be new, it can be old. Doesn't matter in what year it is released. Maybe because it's rare, maybe because you like it that much.

Anyway here are mine.

Groms - Ascension (Arctic Serenade 1st press)
Bride - Silence is Madness (Communique/Pure Metal)
Deliverance - What a Joke (Intense Records)
ME - Hamden (Limited Edition Box set #36/200)
Decision D - Testimony of Faith (Demo-tape)
Decision D - Testimony on stage (Live Demo tape)
Sculpture - Enter the Kingdom (Demo Tape)
Resurrection Band - Music to raise the dead 1972-1998 (box-set)
Sigur Ros - Heima (DVD box-set)
Sixpence None The Richer - The Original Demos (1992, Independent)

Which has yet to come in. If SOM takes too much longer to mail it I am going to call em up and tell em to send me more sh*t for my trouble.

Not really searching for anything rare. Discarnated's album just sold for $91 on ebay, btw. I still need that, but I've seen it sell for $20, so $90 is too high.

Anyway, there's a lot of buys I've enjoyed this year but my favorites are:

The Chariot's new album is excellent, also.

The best stuff I found this year:

Anah Aevia - Realize You're Dead & Statistical and Diagnostic Manual of Mental Disorders
Bloodlined Calligraphy - Say Hi To The Bad Guy
The Last Broadcast - Matthew EP
Foxhole - The Wintering Tree EP

The best new 2010 releases so far:
1. Mantric - The Descent
2. Living Sacrifice - The Infinite Order
3. My Silent Wake - IV Et Lux Perpetua

I'm actually not sure, some guy was selling a cheap looking CD and claimed it was the first recording of their "Act Of Depression" CD with hand-drawn artwork by Dallas Taylor. It actually looked kinda suspicious if you ask me, but whatever.

You can have a look at it yourself, that is, if you can still view it:

Very interesting. The track layout (17 for the hidden track) and track times are the same as AoD so they must be the same recordings. I looked after your post and saw that someone in the vault claims there's a earlier demo titled "My Friend" that differs from AoD. Intrestin.

Yup, part of the reason I didn't win it. I mean, I probably would've spent like $20 on it just out of curiosity, then the bids went higher and I quit. Oh well.
