Whats the most you paid?

the first two chocolate watchband albums (sealed/no tears,bends,bumps,cuts/perfect)on tower records.bought in the 1980's , and 'even then' your wife would have certainly had me commited. they're still unopened and would be on my short list of things to grab if the house was on fire....i have lots of records that are now worth many times what i paid for them, but thats not my motivation for collecting (some are worth something only to me)....the hunt is the thing.

A friend of mine has spent up to $500 per LP for the so-called Hot Stampers from Better Records.
These are just used records that have been "listened to" critically and are deemed the "BEST".
Crazy world out there.

$55.00 for a copy of Tabuh-Tabuhan on a Mercury living presence many many moons ago.Will not pay anywhere near that for vinyl anymore.

$40.00 for new Japanese pressing of Madonna 2LP "Ray of Light" won on eBay from France. (it got here fast, and that seller raised the minimum bid for other copies!)
My 'best deal' was for some rare album I found at another store and immediately sold to my favorite dealer for $20.00 (I had paid $0.18 for it.)

$150.00 for a mint Columbia Masterworks 6-Eye Pablo Casals recording of the Schumann Concerto, & Encores with pianist Eugene Istomin. Worth ever penny!
