I bought an American Nightmare - Background Music mispressing of the friends press for $75 when it came out . Sold it a year or so ago for $1000 and a euro copy of Sunny Day Real Estate Diary on splatter vinyl .

I also paid $50 ppd total for test presses of the self titled Bouncing Souls lp and Descendents Everything Sucks .

On the same day that I picked up a sealed copy of "Tiny Music..." by STP for $9 at my local Half Price Books, I also bought Ozzy Osbourne's "Ozzmosis" for $6. I had no idea it was worth anything and didn't notice the "made in Holland" sticker until just last week.

Got about 30 records for free over the weekend including:

Manic Street Preachers - Generation Terrorists

Pantera - Planet Caravan (red)

Hole - Live Through This

Catatonia - International Velvet

Tindersticks - st (2nd album +7")

Stevie Wonder - Innervisions

Which version of Generation Terrorists did you get? US (single LP with 14 tracks) or UK (2LP with 18 tracks)?

Any other Manics stuff?

Nor would I, for sure. I've got both, and while I didn't get them for free, the UK one wasn't too pricy, at least.

I did end up paying $15 shipped from someone in the US for the Holy Bible Picture Disc years back, though. All the folks at Forever Delayed were maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

I've long been wanting a copy of the Lost In Translation soundtrack and in particular wanted the picture disc but since they usually fetch around $120+ I figured I wouldn't be owning it. Found a copy for $30 today and after I came home, saw one I had been watching on eBay end at $81. Sweet success!

And I'm totally cool with that. :)

disclaimer: I typically don't encourage bootlegs but in this case, we're talking an 11 year old soundtrack where copies are scarce. Granted some pic disc copies over the last year have gone for around $40ish but to see one in person right in front of me for that price, I jumped. It looks great and it sounds wonderful. I'm happy with it. Feels like a steal to me.
