Probably most I've spent is about $200 for City & Colour tour 10"s. And I spent like $150 for my ATDI test press. I also spent a ton on my Mars Volta - Goliath promo but I forget how much.

I barely ever have gone over $100 but quite often I have ended up going over $50 due to postage costs. Sucks but you have to live with it. Just means I can't buy as many records as I want to.

EDIT: Wait, I spent $300 on The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo deluxe vinyl edition back in November. Almost forgot that. That one is the worst because I know I'm being ripped off (since it's the pre-order and there's 3000 of them) and I partially regret it.

i was feeling really foolish reading the first page of this thread, thankfully the numbers got a bit larger on page two.

my most expensive are

box set - deftones box $200

LP - white pony red promo $125

45 - glassjaw stars sealed $50 (i know, i know...)

honorable mention

QOTSA - songs for the deaf $65

crosses - $100 for a god damn 5 track 10" (extras be damned, i look at it as this record cost me that much, being that it was really the only part of the bundle i wanted)

likely future stupidities

radiohead in rainbows box set

glassjaw junkies (if i ever find one)

deftones 7 words

$200 for a copy of Hum's You'd Prefer an Astronaut on green vinyl.

I'd been pussyfooting around for so long trying to get a copy that when one went up on ebay with a buy it now price I just couldn't stop myself.

I want Downward Is Heavenward so bad. You'd Prefer An Astronaut would be nice too.

Anyway, I spent $80 on Leatherface-Mush only to trade it for a large stack o' records a year later. I only listened to it a few times. Listening to expensive records makes me feel uneasy. I do miss that record though...
