Declare the correct value on the Customs form?

Hmmm, thin skinned audiophiles carping about the money a record collector spends.  Perfect

Puptent, folks are naturally curious about what LP could be valued at $1200. I don’t see where anyone was “carping” about anything. The OP doesn’t want to say, and that’s that. The mystery naturally stimulates some guesswork.

declare  exact  value , and  declare  exact price  you  paid, (called fraud  if  you dont  declare  exact  dollar  amounts)  Dont mess  with US  customs,  they  will  catch  you, if  you  have  any  doubts , just  call  nearest US  customs  office , they  will  walk  you  through  process of  declaring value  on item.  good  luck

The question is and no one else has said it……..

Does this Holy Grail record actually exist?
 

The op has gone to ground already! No response.

Or is my question and logical thinking illogical?
