People Spent Almost $9,000 On DEFTONES' 1992 Demo & TOBIAS FORGE's Unreleased Solo Album

It's always fun to scroll through Discogs' Most Valuable Items Sold list every month because you're almost guaranteed to see something metal or metal adjacent having been sold for a ton of money… and May 2024 was no different.

Clocking in at No. 7 on the list is Deftones' 1992 demo which sold for a cool $5,000. Which is especially insane considering the 1992 demo only sold once before in 2016 for $360 – that one was "Very Good Plus" condition, while the $5,000 one is "Very Good." Collecting is expensive, kids!

Then at No. 14 is once again Ghost frontman Tobias Forge's unreleased 2008 solo album Passiflora, which sold for $3,804. If you're also looking to own that one as well, there's currently one more on sale for the low price of €3,500! So get on that if you've got the equivalent of a down payment on a new car sitting around. Passiflora was only burnt to a CDr (complete with the name and artist name written in marker), and was also sold for an astounding $5,434 back in March.
