$100 bucks for a box set, a couple times. Sold two of them when I was hard up for 1400 and 1200. Certain fandoms get a little crazy.

$120 was my max (bought an MFSL of Faith No More's Angel Dust in 2013 for my 21st bOH GOD IT'S BEEN TEN YEARS loving GOD WHY IS TIME SO CRUEL) I see it's now going for $550. Holy poo poo.

Read After Burning posted:What's the most y'all have ever paid?  I ended up placing a bet for $120 on eBay 'cause I didn't wanna get sniped (I think it started at around $50) and that's was as much as I was willing to pay. Someone did try to but it at last minute and it ended up being $62. Got it signed at Jimmy's first live performance in Texas after Dennis' death in 2012.

Oh yeah I actually posted it earlier. Amazing how well these old Mercury recordings sound still (the 35mm film thing is due to a brief period where Mercury was using magnetic 35mm cinema film as audio tape for the bigger size, and more consistent speed due to the sprocket holes) Feels Villeneuve fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Feb 15, 2023 |

Read After Burning posted:I THINK they mean "most expensive of that month". So far, $50 for a vintage copy of the "Phantom of the Paradise" soundtrack off Ebay. That's about as much as I'm willing to drop on records at this point.

Read After Burning posted:I THINK they mean "most expensive of that month". $145 for a 'Red Eyes' version of Blink-182's 'Cheshire Cat'  that's the only one I could find reference for the price of sale, but I think I'm pretty good about not spending my own money wholly and usually flip a stack before I buy a pricier record.

Let's see, if we're talking individual albums, I paid around 200$ for a copy of Blue Chips by Action Bronson and Party Supplies. "Box sets", I paid 350$ for the Less Than Jake pie tin. But I'm on a mission from god to have one of everything they've ever put out on vinyl, sooooooooo. I was also stoned at the time, ha.

I don't remember the most I've spent on a specific record, but it would be in the $60 range at most. I'm a cheap prick. A fun game I like to play is going to my discogs collection and sorting by max then min value. I LOL at the rubes dropping hundos on poo poo I nicked for a few bucks 15 years ago. Like, I don't know who's out there dropping a C Note on Kool & The Gang's Ladies' Night but they exist and discogs has the ledger to prove it. And then I LOL at myself for dropping cash on poo poo with literally no value. It's a fun game.

I buy a lot of vaporwave and as with most niche genres, it's always a  seeing what some of my albums are going for second-hand.I also feel  because I bought one of the last copies of Army of the Pharaohs "Ritual of Battle" off the Target website, and now they're going for much more.

Don't recall paying more than $50 for any single album yet, most I've spent is $150 (or was it $200?) for a Rob Crow box set. Might drop more than that for a 12 album KGLW Red Rocks box, but undecided yet.

Now I’m feeling shameful about my upcoming ~$170 purchase of some band’s 20th anniversary edition of their first album. It’s multi record and has demos of their early stuff on CD too. Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory

I almost bought that Radiohead Kid Amnesiac combo record which was retailing for $50, but I decided I didn't really like Amnesiac enough to want to spend that much. According to my discogs, my most valuable records with the max value they've been sold at include the Red Dead Redemption 2 soundtrack at $115, Broken Social Scene You Forgot it In the People at $150, Jannele Monae Dirty Computer at $174, Gorillaz self titled at $172, Vampire Weekend Father of the Bride at $198, Washed Out Within and Without at $150, Bon Iver self titled at $200, and Beirut the Rip Tide at $130 Nihonniboku fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Feb 15, 2023 |

I feel like all my boxset purchases were FOMO, in fact they definitely were.

I paid about $300 AUD ($200 USD) for that VG+/Ex- copy of selected ambient works vol II I posted upthread. I've spent pretty close to $200USD in the past but it was when the Australian dollar was close to parity so it didn't feel as bad

I think my most expensive purchase was one of my most recent as well - I gritted my teeth and gave Frank Ocean $65 for a copy of Blonde. It wasn't exactly a grail/white whale but I've been wanting that album for years so I was ok with paying the hilariously inflated price, especially knowing I could immediately turn it around and sell it for twice as much basically at any time. I don't know, I guess there just isn't anything I've ever wanted so bad as to pay hundreds of dollars for.

Uuuh probably $60 for a single album I think? Was that what the Cowboy Bebop record retailed for? Box sets is roughly $100 for Triumph Allied Forces and that has held steady since that RSD. I also paid full retail for the Queen CD box sets ($120?) and I think one of them has oddly spiked in price since.

I paid about $84 on 1 September 2008 for an OoP copy of Dear Catastrophe Waitress (thanks, deep Gmail records and historical currency exchange data—1.78), from the UK. A few months later, I was on a trip and found one new in a record shop for $25.99 (thanks, price sticker still on the plastic). This was before I had a smartphone so I decided to buy it to scalp, recoup some of the damage I had paid for the first one. I looked it up when I got home, and it was a new repress, which had come out October 21st. Ways I sees it, I had it coming. That's what I get for trying to scalp. Of course I ended up keeping both, being who I am. The original, being a UK issue, had high gloss jacket, and the US reissue had very heavy matte jacket and 180g vinyl (I reckon the original was 150). I had slept on that LP when it came out in 2003. I loved the CD and just assumed the vinyl would be there forever. That was their first post-Jeepster album and I guess Rough Trade had problems in the 2000s, and it went out of print; when I got it in my head in 2007 to get one, I spent the better part of a year trying to find one at a reasonable price. Pretty sure that £35 winning bid was a deal. Just absolutely, catastrophically, comically bad timing About a decade later, February 2019, I got a third copy because the 2014 reissue series had new cover art. Besides thread patron saint Garth, this is the only album I have on vinyl x3

I overpaid for DFA1979's first LP when it was first reissued on pink vinyl, because the Discogs seller sent a black variant. I ate the loss because Aus-Canada shipping was going to be an absolute pain in the arse and that's been my last Discogs purchase because like ebay I simply cannot be hosed dealing with third party sellers. On the upside, I think I mentioned my Violent Soho record that's stunningly worth $1500. Pretty sure I grabbed it from the guitarist when he started working at McDonald's near where I was studying for like, $20.

Don't think I've ever paid more than $50 for an LP, but probably would for a grail or two. How about killer deals? What's the least you've ever paid for something that's worth a bunch? Ever found gold at a yard sale or Goodwill? I'll bet everyone has at least one decent story. Mine: early into record collecting, I went to a home sale hosted by a former radio DJ. All records, stored in floor-to-ceiling shelves, were two bucks. Among the giant stack I eventually carted out, I snagged a VG+ first press of the Ramones Self titled with the misspellings (“beat is on the brat”). Median price on discogs is usually around $150.
