Expensive Records (1 Viewer)

What's the most expensive record you own? It can either be one that you paid a shitload for, or one that you got for a pittance but has increased dramatically in value due to marketplace trends and fluctuations.

Also, if your record is worth more than 500 monetary units, please leave your address and hours your house or aprtment will be vacant.

i had early one morning by mushroom, and tony in smile and i were looking through some record collector mag and it was listed as 400 quids brit. so i put it somewhere safe til i found a buyer. that was about 10 years ago. can't remember where i left it...

Got a record by American Spring prob worth about 50 euro and a beach boys 7" sub pop release maybe worth a bit. Nothing major though

The most i've ever paid for an individual album was about 60 quid in irish money.
I have a fair bit of stuff that's worth considerably more than what i paid for it.
Most of my soundtracks are worth a lot more than i paid for em.

i had elephant by the white stripes on vinyl. got something like 70 britpounds for it

i have the single of whitney houston's "i will always love you" on cassette tape.

just thinking about valuing it actually.

anyone know a good online pricing resource for rare records?

Once picked up an original copy of captain beefheart-safe as milk in a dingy old record shop in portlaoise. They were clearing out their old stock and it had never been sold. Not to many beefheart fans in portlousey back in the sixties. Think its worth 60-70yoyos. unfortunately theres red wine stains on the sleve, but I like to think its adds character

If you combine my whole collection it could be worth a bit!

The prized & pricey i have:
Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible Picture disc lp
Manic Street Preachers - Motown Junk 12"

don`t think the rest of what i have is worth much really.
I`ll find it soon enought as i`ll be selling a shit load!!

I did have a cd of a belgium band(Evil Superstars) which i never listened to - popped it on ebay and was shocked(and delighted) when i got 30 quid for it!

I've never looked at what any of my collection's worth, but I have the "A Taste of DNA" EP and ESG's "Dance to the Beat of Moody" 12" single, both in reasonable condition. Those might be worth something. Or they might not.

The most I've ever paid for a single "unit of music", if you will, is $35 for the CD version of the "No New York" compilation, but that's 'cause it's only available as a Japanese import. (It certainly beat forking out several hundred bucks for the vinyl to replace my worn-out tape copy.)
