nah i refuse to pay over 40 for anything. have some super rare stuff thats worth money but i found them in smelly record bins for feck all, would rather wait and find it myself than pay over the odds. nearly paid 80euro on ebay once, didn't win went to the oxfam shop 2 days later and found same record for 99cent. always felt that i'm into music for life and will find that record eventually, plus theres always something i want to buy and listen to, sure the hunt is half the fun is it not?

I buy quite a few box sets and the like which can be pricey. The deluxe edition of the Elektra 1963 - 1973 set cost me something like €220.

[Deleted member 3435]

Don't think I've ever spent any really serious money on a record.

Last one i bought was this (for a tenner):

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Most I spent on an lp was 30sterling for a mint copy of the first Feederz lp,any I'd seen up to then were pretty beat. Probably has something to do with the sandpaper cover.
most for a single was 20sterling for the Bad Brains pay to cum 7"(2nd press with insert) or again 20 for the Middle Class-out of vogue ep.
Strangely,i'm not opposed to paying big for records,I just never seem to. I get lucky a lot.

 

[M. Stratosphere]

bullshit

well it was the first Lilput album, can't find a cover

i guess i was lucky

I remember that being one you nipped outta my grasp, and then used to clear the dancefloor in the Kitchen on a night out around '98!

Also in Freakout; Mushroom Gatefold LP, £80. I still have nightmares thinking about how I let that one slip my grasp!
