$100 for Effloresce by Oceansize is my new top....

Really wish this record was pressed more than once. It's so astonishing. I don't understand why labels do such limited runs of albums like this. Its been out of print for over a decade now.

Last I heard, the label has no plans for a repress either. Bummer.

This thread just reminds me of all the times I passed on a record only for it to quickly skyrocket in price. I remember seeing "Demon Days" at my local shop for $15.99 and thinking it was cool that a new album was out on vinyl but I didn't buy it because I already spent that much on a CD copy and I was 12 years old. Also remember seeing "Exmilitary" up for sale but not wanting to pay $20 plus shipping for it. Womp womp.

 

Even at the height of my record collecting mania I couldn't bring myself to pay $50 for one album, and now that I've become a bit disillusioned by the record game I can't even imagine spending that much on something as silly as a slab of wax. I did pay $40 for a signed copy of Andrew W.K.'s "I Get Wet" before the repress, and I can't find the receipt for it but the +HIRS+ "Madonna" 3" cost me upwards of $30 for about 90 seconds of music.

When I was variant chasing The Fall Of Troy I bought the 1st press of Doppelganger for like $100, now people are sending me messages offering upwards of $300 for it, which makes like zero sense to me because it has two represses. Maybe because the represses are through Enjoy the Ride ¯\_()_/¯

Not only that but the OG presses have different artwork and were much more limited.

Upwards of $200+ is probably the most I've ever spent on a single record. I buy a lot of collections and last year was the biggest I've ever bought. It was 4,000 albums and they were 60's through 80's soul, funk, r and b, and rap. 95% of the collection was like new, in shrink. I paid $4,000 for that collection.
