The most you ever spent on a single CD/LP/etc.?

OK, my new records!

$71 for Hobbs Angel of Death vs Razor
about the same - 50 eur - for original Anacrusis - Suffering Hour
40 eur - cca 55 dollars for
I.N.C. - The Visitor original
Last Descendants - One Nation Under God

I will be getting Metallica - Ride The Lightning(Gold Disc) and Black Sabbath - Live at the odeon within the next 5-6 months. I'm sure those two will be my most expensive purchases yet. And I've done a few pricey ones already. Nowadays I'm looking around off ebay and trying to get my biggest bang for the bucks while I save up for those two cds and stuff i actually need.

Kreator - Pleasure to Kill came up to almost $40 counting tax.

$60 on Electric Sun - Beyond The Astral Skies. Then Uli reissued it last year

18.99 for live after death by iron maiden - what was i thinking, second place was my copy of morningrise by opeth at £15

$40 for a Nevermore "Dead Heart In A Dead World" picture disc.

About $60 on a Nightwish box set (Angels Fall First-Over The Hills (EP). As for an individual CD, Rob Rock-Garden Of Chaos (Japanese Import) for $28 plus shipping a. because I wanted it before it was availiable in the States and b. I liked the album cover for the Japan release better. That was a one time thing and unless I don't want to wait on the mail system, I will not pay more than $16 on any given CD (up to $20 if I can only get it through the mail) and no more than $10 on a used one (unless it is VERY rare).

Coincidently, I was at the mall last night with the wife and I wandered off to FYE while she looked at some girly stuff. I looked for both the new Overkill and the new Down cd's. They wanted $19.99 for Down and $17.99 for Overkill. Are they sh**ting me? No wonder the music industry is going in the crapper!

I cannot believe how cheap it is in the US. You guys complain about a new CD for 18$?? A brand new CD in Norway costs over 35$!!

I'm with Metalguy....and feel sorry (sort of ) for you European guys. That's a lot of money for a cd!!

I've spent upwards of $30.00 tracking down early Chastain albums. I don't really have a limit though. If I want it - I will get it ... even if I spend hundreds.

Well, new CDs in Slovenia cost around $20 - $25, but I guess if we compare the average wage in Norway and Slovenia, we still (relatively) pay more
Used CDs usually cost around $15. ... Thank god for ebay!

New releases here cost anywhere from 11.99 to 15.99. You seldom pay more than that here.

Used stuff goes from 1.99 up to about 9.99

I've usually had pretty good luck finding metal CDs for cheap, so I generally don't even bother if I see something I really want, but the price is high. I'm always confident I'll find it cheaper somewhere else. I did, however, just send off $25 for Ion Vein's Beyond Tomorrow.

Here's something that'll make you laugh. I spent $150 on Papa Roach's Let 'Em Know EP. Haha.

Was it a special release or something rare about it?

My point was more how a music chain store, like FYE, can charge $20 bucks for a new cd, while a place like Best Buy or Wal-Mart wil sell the same thing for $10 because selling cd's is just a small part of their overall inventory.

Sorry that you guys are getting reamed as well.

Anthem - Heavy metal anthem $30

Iron Maiden - Eddie's Archives for $160.00 not sure why, just had to have it.

$60 for KISS - Alive! 1975-2000
