what's the most you've ever spent on a record?

[vinyl addict]

LOL, I paid $27.99 for my clear, I'm not hating on anyone. Just pointing out one's stupidity

Just like RSD vinyl, the value of those Bowie records are gonna drop like a stone.

I do think if you can afford one and that's what you wanna spend your money on, the go for it. Records are fun.

I've become used to paying $50 - $60 for records (including shipping). I'm not in the states but I quite often buy from US based labels and artists and the shipping is usually about $25 - $30. If you want the record you just need to suck it up.

Original first pressing uk creation records of oasis' what's the story morning glory $125 mint.

[paralyticstalks]

I have to update this. A few pages back I mentioned that I bought a 12" blue original press copy of Tera Melos' Drugs To The Dear Youth EP for $80 but I have spent more since then. About a month after BFRSD '14 I managed to haggle a flipper on Discogs down to $100 for Government Plates. At the time I thought that was a crazy price and that no one would ever spend more than that but looking back I'm glad I did it because there is no way I'd be able to swing what they're fetching for now.

[ok.]

I can't remember if I posted here or not. I spent $200 on two AFI EPs. $150 for Behind the Times and $50 for GITD Fly in the Ointment.

Fuuuuck I just spent the most I've ever spent on a record - more than twice that of my previous most expensive purchase. I feel nervous. But also excited.

$60 for :

• EF- Give Me Beauty.....Or Give Me Death
  • (original press because I was told there would never be a repress and 4 weeks later there was  )
• Jon Kennedy - Take My Drum To England

Same thing happened to me with "Red Forest" by If These Trees Could Talk.  I found a dude on here, bought if for $70.  A few weeks later, the represses.  But mine was a 1st press clear blood which doesn't ever go up for sale anywhere, so I think it's worth it.  It sounds amazing, too.

$1,580.00 - then 3 months later sold it back to the dude who sold it to me for the same price. Then took $1000 of that cash and bought another record.

I'm sure, but I've never seen any of them. I'm curious about what ones HE spent that much on, dad.

Floorpunch - Division one champs on Gold - It was an accident on my part. I meant to bid 1,000 on the ebay app but accidentally put 10,000

It doesn't take a "dad" to see that you are a pretentious idiot.

How do you forget spending $700?

[hammertime]

I don't forget that it happened (obviously), I forget the exact amount and which record was the most, since I spent in the neighborhood of that much on several.  This was 10+ years ago as well.

Using the word pretentious makes you look fuckin' pretentious. And coming from someone who buys nearly anything from the 90s hahaha. I used the phrase "humor me" because spending that much on a record would make any sane man laugh. If I'm wrong, trust me, I don't wanna be right.

Yea, I was into it, but so bummed I ended up having to pay so much for it! one just sold for like 1100 on ebay so I am a little happy I got back my full cost 

[lethalenforcer]

Been a while since I did this depressing exercise. All of my most-paid hover around the same price point:

 

$155 The Drums - Help Him 7" (benefit auction, #1/1)

$150 Killers - Hot Fuss (og US press, sealed)

$150 U2 - How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb

$140 Liars - WIXIW (wax-dipped)

$130 Mac Demarco - Rock & Roll Night Club (green)

[highfives]

I think mine have to be:

 

The Dear Hunter - The Color Spectrum (~$90)

Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool ($85)

 

Then the other "higher" stuff is maybe in the $50s

Closure in Moscow - Pink Lemonade ($55 Aus import)

British Theatre - Mastery ($50 UK Import)

Oceansize - Self Preserved LE/Signed (~$50 UK Import)

 

I try not to get too wild unless it's something special and I NEED IT.

[boops_popmarket]

I spent $130 on a copy of REM's New Adventures in HiFi.
