Most expensive CD you ever bought?

[Pethical]

i'm sure NFU took out a 2nd mortgage to pay for some of his collection

 

[FuneralWedding]

Like $40 or so on an original copy of Katatonia's For Funerals to Come ep.

 

[Risquit]

$27 for Gojira's The Link.

this is pretty much the truth. I download a lot of music and enjoy buying the albums I like, but really, $15+ for a brand new CD (unless you're paying for an import) is nothing but a scam. you can walk into a mall and find CDs priced for $18.99. fuck that

luckily there's trading/used CD networks like lala and amazon. dirt cheap. the only way.

Some people want albums you can't find for download, that have been out of print for a very long time.

I understand - I was just speaking [for myself] of normal, contemporary circumstances. if there's an album that's special to you and it's very rare because it's out of print, then you have good reason to expect and to follow through on paying more $ than usual

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

Ghost Reveries special edition hand-signed by all members NZ$79

 

[Alex78]

$45 for import of Behind the Scenery - Retroviseur.
and $35 for Kent - Vapen & Ammunition.

 

[NFU]

VNV Nation - Burning Empires = $130
October Tide - Rain Without End = $40
Scott Walker - till the band comes in = $65
Jerry Goldsmith - Chinatown Soundtrack = $50

im sure theres some other doozies, but thats all i can think up off the top of my head.

 

[WTF555666]

ulver - Bergtatt - Et Eeventyr I 5 Capitler

$30...definetley worth it, I haven't stopped listening to it since.

This would be better if this was the "cheapest cd you ever bought" thread tbh

Manowar - the Triumph of Gay Sex. $2. Took it into the second-hand CD shop two days later and got $3 in trade for it.

Most Expensive: Metallica - Live Shit:Binge And Purged Boxset: 105$CAN. now it's about 90$ CAN.

Cheepest: Anthrax - Spreading The Disease : About 5$ and it was new.

 

[CorpseDeception]

The most expensive CD was $42 U.S. It was an import from Japan, I think it was Lynch's Greedy Dead souls, but it was probably Dir En Grey's Vulgar.

The cheapest one I ever bought was for my sister, it was some shittypunk band that she loved at the time. $1.

Dir En Grey for the win.

 

[Pear Goro]

like 15 bucks

You guys are insane to buy CD at that price BUT I'll do it too if I really REALLY like the band...I spent 55 on Blind guardian imports from germany, does it worth it? damm I just dont know...I felt guilty and not happy, am I alone in that situation?!?

 

[cmwolfe]

I remember the metallica "live shit" album was really overpriced... kind of a sign of things to come from them now that I think about it.

 

[di ablopeth]

like $32 for Metallica's 24k Gold edition of "Master Of Puppets"

I guess not. I once wanted to buy Weakling's Dead as Dreams vinyl on ebay and was willing to put 100$ on it. It eventually sold for much more than that. In the end, I'm glad I didn't win the auction.
