Not metal at all but I saw a Beatles LP at a store for $1,500 which of course is fucking crazy. That's the highest price I've ever seen for music.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110224211225
by far, my most expensive purchase, yet

Whilst not technically metal, I got a first pressing of Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer, in mint condition, for $25.

Mono or stereo version?

Most I ever paid for any album was $32 for the Drowned version of Slumber of Sullen Eyes. Looking back, that looks like a bargain.

Excruciate!

A few years ago the guy from Thrash records sold his stock for cheap at a hardcore festival in Belgium.

Ow yeah, what' the current price for Immortal - Sons of the northern darkness metalbox?

un-fuckin-believable. However it has some good songs, but a bit underproduced. Nevertheless a Swdish old Döds Metal history album.

The most expensive CD I own is HIM's first EP, limited to 1000 copies in a digipack. Mine is used but in relatively good condition, listened by myself three times. I paid 8 FIM (1,2 €) for it in 1997, and it's for sale for anyone interested, for a nominal price of 1000 €. I've seen it go up to 1805 US$ on EBay.

This auction is just about to wrap up. I had this on my eBay watch list but just deleted it - I have to admit to myself that I'm not even considering bidding what it would take to win this thing. My guess is it goes for $250.

Well, depends. If there's a "limited to 666" black metal album, and 2000, or in a good case, 20000 pretty poor people who want one, it would be insanity. In HIM's case, there are 200000 or more of them, many of them well-off ladies with more than enough money from their hubbies.

Everything is relative.

No one so far seems to look upon rarities as investments, eh?

That depends on which album it was. The Beatles are the most collectible band in the world, seconded by Elvis and Johnny Cash, so $1500 for, say, an original Butcher Block cover lp or a pretty low numbering White Album isn't too far off.

Don't know really, but depending on the rarity of the release and if its piratable or not, I might pay up to about 100€.

Years ago, before eBay was the living end, I plunked down $45 in a brick-and-mortar record shop for the Blue Oyster Cult "Imaginos" CD. Still hasn't been re-released, so it turned out to be the right decision.

I sold my copy for €25 to a friend last year after I got the vinyl version. That is a fair price for that album, people on ebay are just morons. I'm a vinyl-man myself, but I'm under the impression that prices of metal CD's are just crazy at the moment. People will buy everything if it's early 90's death metal, and pay every price for it. Laughable.

I've paid about 45 € for a first-press Rigor Mortis' Freaks EP, and 85 € for Blind Illusion's Sane Asylum japanes original. The most expensive CD I own is HIM's first EP, limited to 1000 copies in a digipack. Mine is used but in relatively good condition, listened by myself three times. I paid 8 FIM (1,2 €) for it in 1997, and it's for sale for anyone interested, for a nominal price of 1000 €. I've seen it go up to 1805 US$ on EBay. You could buy it from me and send it to Morrigan to prove HIM has a metal release. There are three tracks, two of which could be considered metal with somewhat relaxed criteria.
