What's the most you have paid for a CD &/or album?
Most I ever paid for a single CD would have been for a bootleg of the JAMS record, of course I then also watched the price drop for the remaining copies as no one else was buying it.
I paid $20 for an import of the Pogues Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash many years ago. Since, I think it came back into domestic print, and then back out again…as it's only listed as an import now on Amazon.
I think I paid about $75 for an R.E.M. radio show. Actually quite a bargain.

I paid $50 for a Verve cd titled USA. Great live complation album from their 97 fall tour. On Your Own was recorded acoustic from the 9:30 show. MP3's anyone?
$50 for this when it first turned up on ebay

On the other hand, what about CDs/LPs/7 inchers you got for dirt that are getting crazy prices. For instance, The Lilys "In the Presence of Nothing" is $82 at Amazon and e-bay:

I think I got mine $6.99.

Sure, if you can find someone who will actually pay that money for it. Is there a big market of buyers looking for it?

$60 for a mint, unplayed "Telephono" (Spoon).
I think i paid around $6.99 for this, too. I didn't know it was rare or out of print.
I have the first printings of all the tortoise CDs if those are worth anything (they changed the packaging on the first two after they got popular and Rhythms, Resolutions and Clusters was a limited run).

I worked in record stores for over 15 years and my copy is the only one I have ever seen. Even Kyle Gann, the scholar most familiar with the work, says "Please don't ask me how to get a copy, because I can't tell you."
Only 44 (OCLC) libraries worldwide have the CD. On the other hand, 429 have "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot." (source: Worldcat).
The International Piano Archives at Maryland (IPAM, University of Maryland, College Park) claims to have "96% of all commercial piano recordings ever issued, with taped copies of most of the remainder. Formats include: 8,500 78 rpm shellac records; 26,000 vinyl long-play records; 11,000 compact discs." They do not have "The Well-tuned Piano."
(BTW, the IPAM website is the work of Q And Not U's John Davis.)
To most people the CD isn't worth 500 cents. Nevertheless, it is among the most coveted CDs in the world.

Originally posted by pollardteam2:CD… But it was very recent. I've had it in MP3 for years but only at 192CBR, and I just wanted to have a 'hard' copy of it. Seems $50+ is going rate for that one now, and I wanted to get it before Gimme Fiction blows up and Telephono costs $100.

Originally posted by tenfifteen:isnt it more likely that if Gimme Fiction blows up, that Matador will just reissue Telephono, and the value will go down
