Whats the most you paid for a record?
Did you play it if it was new?

Just curious...

80 dollars for a used MOFI of blind faith with the banned cover and 80 for a first pressing of beatles white album. Both are very excellent recordings but far more than I would normally pay. THe next most expensive was a used blue vinyl release of Division Bell. It was 45 dollars which is a steal compared to what this fetches on EBAY currently. I have many albums in the 20-30 dollar range trying to fill selected holes in my collections. But my average cost for my collection is still close to one dollar as I have purchased several large collections for 50cents or less per album
.65, just bought 300 pristine imported classical LP's for $200. My average purchase price is .05, that is 6000+ LP's for $300.
150 dollars plus 28 shipping (!) a few years back for a sealed first U K pressing of Pink Floyd dark side of the moon with the blue prism. I thought I was nuts after buying it but when I see what they go for now ... I guess I was (accidently) wise to get it when I did. I have paid upwards to 100 dollars(and over) for quite a few scarce , limited and mint or sealed lp,s. I,m not a collector though in the true sense because much to the dismay of my friends I open them and play and thoroughly enjoy them. I like the music itself and if its sitting in a shelf sealed and un-used to me it might as well be a rock. I have so many lp,s I paid so little for that were well looked after in my mind I can justify treating myself to the more expensive ones now and then. But like most of us those rare finds that are getting scarcer to find cheap are always the best. Like a stone mint mono copy of Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane for 5 Bucks at a garage sale last summer. It all balances out in the end which comes to quick not to enjoy and treat yourself! Cheers.
