Be honest.
 
 Team Dupek has paid around $100 for a really rare disc.

I remember spending $20 for a special high-quality vinyl recording of Abbey Road, but that was at a time when $8.99 was the top end of the normal price range...

Good point, I think I bought some bootlegs at Record and Tape Traders back in the day for $25+ when vinyl was $5.99 usually.

$50 for an old vinyl
 $16 - 18 range for a current cd (i.e., one deperate moment at B&N that led to a time-out of no more cds for at least a month.)

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.

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.

I got Lamonte Young's "Well-tuned Piano" 5-CD for $40 or $50, I don't remember the exact amount. It's worth at least $500.

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

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).

Well, someone was selling the cassette version through Amazon for $200 and apparently got it. Amazon currently has 6 people waiting to buy a copy.
 
 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." (http://www.newmusicbox.org/third-person/sep00/7limit.html)
 
 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 (http://www.lib.umd.edu/PAL/IPAM/) (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.

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.

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