The most you ever spent on one record

[Dusty]

Not a record collector, but I did spend £45 on Woobs first CD album on em:t.

 

[crackerjack]

Can't remember the most expensive single item, but it was using up a credit note, probably on an old Jackie Mittoo Studio 1 album.

Most expensive sold is easy though: 2nd issue of Aquarius Dub for £106 a few months ago on eBay.

 

[mixed_biscuits]

pretty sure it was £15 on kma's cape fear which i've seen go for 2-3 times as much.

If you weren't aware of this already:

DJ Harry and Point Blank - Cape Fear

£20 to £30 a few times, just on things i've really wanted, this is quite rare though, I prefer to spend fuck all, it's a bit sad to spend alot on a single record.

 

[Pangaea]

£21 on the 3xLP of selected ambient works 2, brown vinyl...which isn't really that much

considered dropping thirty quid on dmz002 when i saw it on discogs... but decided against it

You guys are pretty tight-fisted compared to the blood and fire crew!

Always avoided that pressing as Ive never heard a copy that wasn't crackly as fuck.

Ha ha!

Was that one of the dubstep things I sold?

This is all just market research to see how much you can bump up the starting price for your next batch of ebay sales isnt it?

indeed, tis a shame

Kind of. That early Kode9/CCRU thing.

 

[john eden]

OK cool. I reckon that might end up being worth considerably more than that in the next few years...

DJ Harry and Point Blank - Cape Fear

yes! the original and the best. i got that one for waaay less

 

[subvert47]

£20 for Brown & Rhymeside - Maniac Drummer / Break Exploitation (Moving Shadow 43) when I got in from the pub one night -oops-

also £99 for a copy of TG24, but that's 24 CDs so maybe it doesn't count

I spend about 5 euros a month on my rapidshare account and all you vinyl fetishists and mp3 haters can kiss my ass.

 

[swears]

The most I ever spent on a record was 15 quid for a mint copy of "LFO" by LFO a couple of years back. Used to buy new 12s for a fiver, sometimes a tenner for an import I really wanted, like Smash TV's "Yellow Asteroids". I didn't really get many opportunities to play out, so I sort of quit. Thinking about CD decks now, tho.

 

[staypuft]

I'm the other £200+ maniac.. I purchased Boards of Canada's original Twoism record... which was soon after reissued on Warp.

 

[dj's dj]

Last year I spent 27 quid on a mint condition New Horizons - Sweet Release EP - just for the B Side tracks. As a teen I always loved Find The Path and It's My House is my favourite UKG track of all time - I can't explain the joy I feel watching the label as I play it.

Just checked i guess it's still holding it's value http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=198510&ev=r2
