some of the most expensive records are not expensive monetarily. They are expensive because of the huge amount of time and effort invested into finding a copy. Regardless of the price, the money part was the inexpensive aspect.

That's true. I don't wanna know how much time I've spent in browsing through mountains of 7"s at flee-, metalmarkets and second hand shops, hoping to find that Hell-single, well I have it now after grabbing it of the net and I will take it into my fucking grave 8)

Ive paid $50-$60 for some stuff, only because its something I REALLY wanted. That rarely ever happens though, since I dont have a lot of extra money.
I paid $60 for Dofka: Toxic Wasteland LP (Im a huge Dofka fan, and at that point I didnt have the CD from the same era, which I luckily got for a lot cheaper). I paid around $50 for Terror: Up From The Grave/Distributing Pain original demo tapes plus a T-shirt (DEFINATELY worth it) from Gina Klein (if you know the Stuck In The Sewer live demo then you know who Gina is....hahaha).
Usually if something would cost a ridiculous amount of money (usually obscure 12"s like Wild Pussy and stuff like that) Ill pay for someone to rip it and send it to me on CD-R. Im usually running very low on extra money, and I really cant afford to buy expensive release unless the music is incredibly kick ass, and the packaging could be beneficial to me in some way (containing lineup/bibliographical info that I could possibly use to track down a band member or eventually help obtain more of thier stuff).

hmm about 400 dollars got me the first Sabbat and X 7" singles.

got the Mein Kampf Speeder 7" first pressing dead mint condition for 250. which is actually a good deal for that record although still a ton of money.

I always thought i would have to pay about 600 dollars or more for the Zadkiel Highway Z flexi 7" because I have never seen it for sale or trade anywhere. But one day a friend of mine sold it to me at a Jurassic Jade gig for 300. It came with an alternate sleeve version too. it was my holy grail for years!
