What is the most you have ever paid for a single CD?

[ChuckM 1]

I just bought the CD for Richard Harvey's Fantasia (no relation to the Disney Fantasia) for $50 on eBay. That's the most I have ever spent on a CD and hopefully the most I ever will. I only paid that much because I've been hunting it for way too many years, and this is the first time I've ever seen it show up. That, and of course it is pretty awesome music. I also managed to track down Fantasia 2 a couple months ago, but I only paid $20 for that one.

So how about it? What's the most you've ever paid for a single CD, and why'd you do it?

Gentlemen never tell.

With the inflated prices of import CDs here quite a lot on most of them.

I've never really spent that much. It was a gift years back, but probably the most expensive SINGLE CD purchased in my collection is Temple of Doom, from the Star Wars fan club store circa 2000. I think it was like 30 bucks or something plus shipping. I've spent that amount on many 2-disc sets. Anyone who buys these rare, limited and oop CDs for horrendously high prices must be insane. I'm lucky to have snagged Dracula, Jaws 2 and some other rarities before they became long oop and rose in value.

$25-

I normally buy used.

$100 is the most I've ever spent for a CD and that was for Varèse's Predator, a sealed copy I might add. I bought it a year and half after it sold out. Back when I bought it is when I was just barely new to the Limited Edition ring and was buying them.

I'm not insane...I just wanted a sealed copy of Varèse's Predator score real bad and was willing to pay that much for it. It was going for that much or higher at the time too.

Jaws 2, for 40 bucks. Back when ToD OST was a rarity, I snagged it for 25 bucks on eBay.

I want to know what the $300+ CD was.

With the few exceptions I mentioned, that's typically my strategy as well.

[King Mark 2,924]

75$ for ToD OST

50$ for SpaceCamp

both at the same store circa 1991

I'd like to know who in their right mind would spend $300 on a single CD and what that CD was as well.

If I had to guess, I'd say Spacecamp. I saw one go for that on eBay once.

[Romão 1,931]

47 bucks for Dracula

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,251]

150 Dutch Guilders in the early 90's for a scrathed, used copy of Temple Of Doom, without a frontcover.

For that time, for a boy without a job, that was an almost unbelievable amount of money! 99 US Dollars in todays money.

[BurgaFlippinMan 7]

i've never paid for than $14 for a CD

So you've never gotten any Limited Edition stuff?

[Nemesis 125]

120$ for the original Oscar double cd of A.I.

[Koray Savas 2,095]

$42 (including shipping) for Dracula.

Nope

[pixie_twinkle 44]

$170 for Spacecamp in about 2001. It was worth it.

[JoeinAR 1,759]

anything over 100 bucks is too much

[AC1 3,565]

50 Euros for The Eiger Sanction to Andreas for saving this place. I guess it worked!

Very noble.

Did you get a JWFAN mug, Alex?

I recently managed to find brand new (sealed) copies of Varese's The 'Burbs and LLL's Godzilla (Arnold) for $40 and $35 respectively. I thought this was a pretty generous deal, considering how much I've seen both of these titles go for in the past.
