Most expensive piece of vinyl you acquired is?

I am right there with Elizabeth. I have purchased a few reissue box sets: The Doors and Genesis, but the individual LP cost was never above 30 bucks. "There is no LP I would say I would 'have to have' at any cost."

I've just gotten back into vinyl in a big way, and I don't want to spend a lot of time looking for used records; can somebody give me a "heads up" on the various qualities of new vinyl?

I haven't bought vinyl for a very long time. But I don't value the most expensive ones the most. I have a bunch of pseudo direct to "disk" I bought in the eighties for around $30 bucks each but the one I prize the most is a true direct to disc Mingus jazz 45 I found in a bargain bin for $3 bucks. They are truly right there playing for you.
