    What's the highest one's paid for a record?

    As record collectors (which I know most of you are in here) what's the highest amount you've paid for a vinyl record? What title and where purchased– ebay, gemm?
    A couple of years ago, I was hurtin’ when I spent more than $30 for a 1986 12” single titled: “You’re The Sun of My Life” by Nina Pee (EX/EX condition). Since then, the value of that title has soared in excess of $130-$200!

    It's worth that much??

    Wow, I'll dig out my copy and put it on EBay!!LOL

    It's an OK track, but nothing special IMHO

    I paid 50 pence for my copy!

    Makes me wonder how many other of my 50p 'Spin Inn' bargains will help finance my next holiday!

    Paid £62 for Mach - On & On 12" last week

    Reputedly the first ever House record from 1980, but as it samples Funky Town's cow bells, it borders on hi-rng

    *still waiting for it to come through the post tho* :icon_evil:

    I've never spent too much on an individual record as I usually just wait to see if I can find it cheaper. I think the most I paid was 30 some dollars about ten years ago for (of all things) the doublepack for the Trouser Enthusiasts Remixes of Dannii Minogue's "Everything I Wanted" b/w "Heaven Can Wait."

    I tend to find most of my records at raesonable prices but I have paid more for the odd 12" that I just HAD to have..
    I recently found a mint condition 12" remix of Padlock by gwen Guthrie, paid £15.00 for it.

    Remicks me ol pal - I do so hope it's gonna be worth it! The seller received a neg the very next day for non receipt of goods and now I'm worried.

    (He also has another copy as BIN for £100, which was open at the same time as the seperate auction - most bizarre!) Pulled his details this morning and if my 12" ain't here by middle of next week, I shall pay him a visit in the middle of the night and shove a traffic cone up his jacksee :icon_evil:

    Cool .. You must have really wanted it. What year was it originally released, was it on a small. obscure record label ?

    Here's a link to it on discogs.

    On a small French label I think so pretty scarce. Good moody electric funk tune

    The most I paid was 50 some U.S. dollars last year for the Love Mix of "Wuthering Heights" -- and it wasn't even a (pure) hi nrg track, it was house -- I knew this before I ordered though. Nevertheless I am very glad that I got this record. (I searched all over Europe to find a copy, but couldn't find it anywhere. There was a company in Switzerland that had this Italian production, but they wouldn't send it to Germany .)

    Wow, I guess I'm the winner here. About 7 years ago I bought the Soundtrack to " The Last American Vigin " for $70.00 on e-bay.It has never been opened. I now have it framed along with the original movie poster and original VHS. The music contains music by U2, Blondie, The Commodores and Journey. One of my "prized possessions". If a Hurricane was headed my way, these items would be in the back of the jeep next to my 2 dogs.:icon_exclaim:

    A few years ago i paid £25 for a mint 12" copy of 'Give Your Heart' by Kiwi & Tess.

    I saw a copy on ebay last year that went for £42,so maybe i did well on that one.

    Sometimes its well worth paying that bit extra when its something you really want.

    I've sold copies of Alton, McCLean & Destiny's "Crazy Love" pro 12" remix, and Space's "Save Your Love For Me" pro 12" remix, for $150.00, each. Back in the mid-late 80's

    In 2001, I paid about $50.00 for a sealed copy of Disconet Vol 2, No. 13, with Poussez!'s "Never Gonna Say Goodbye", the Raul Mix.

    Most of what I buy are replacement copies. So I can take my time, and hunt-down good deals.
