Whats the most you paid?

$77 for a VG++ Kind Of Blue 6-Eye on the 'Bay.
It was worth it for reference to the 4 track and 2 track prerecorded tapes and European vinyl issue that I also have along with the MiniDisc version and the 1997 new Sony legacy version and the 1992 gold disc in the tall sleeve.

I have over 20 of the Hot Stampers from Better Records with the most expensive being $450. Well worth the price in my opinion. Once you hear a great sounding record an average copy won't do. I do my own shootouts at home with 5-12 albums and while each individually is not that expensive, the total cost is usually well over $100 and it takes a lot of time for cleaning and listening.

I don't buy records for an investment, only for listening.

Up to $200 on rare blue note or prestige, but I also lucked out on a rather unplayed Beatles Yesterday and Today 2nd state for $1 at a local estate sale.

Most I ever paid was ~$30 for Classic Records and DCC pressings in the 90s.

Best deal would have to be $1.49 for Szigeti Bach Sonatas and Partitas set in a very nice original pressing just last year.

A clean Riverside 10" of Blind Lemon Jefferson's Penitentiary Blues for $1 wasn't a bad deal either.
