TOP $$$ DOLLAR

Just dropped an even grand on a stack of heat coming from somewhere in Latin America:<b,121<b,121-Phirpo y sus Caribes<b,121-Soul Fantastics LP<b,121-Los Demonios<b,121-Los Dinamicos Exciters<b,121-Bush y sus Magnificos<b,121-Los Silvertones<b,121<b,121(!!!)<b,121<b,121By far my biggest splurge yet
 
I have spent a little over $200-$300 for a couple lp's (Mulatu, Lee Moses, Four Mints, Ambassadors etc) I have a hard time going over $300...maybe when I'm making more money

for real!<b,121people were telling me to buy in portland in 95 and i was like "uh huh" as i biked aroun dlooking for records. DOH!!!
 
i spent $500 on stark reality. but i sold 40 jazz records i wasnt listenin to anymore to justify it.<b,121<b,121spent $200 on joe pass-better days. always wanted to hear it.might get rid of it soon.<b,121<b,121lafayette-malik $140 two years ago, after passing up on it for $30 in 93 (seemed like WAY too much for a record).<b,121<b,121nicos gomez-ritual $250 at WFMU last year. had to walk away with something nice. i felt ok doing it after finding "Can i get a soul clap" for $1<b,121<b,121aposento alto for $250 + hells belles. meh<b,121<b,121$100 plenty of times. <b,121<b,121i never regret dropping loot, but the records i got cheap usually end up being more interesting.
 
In descending order:

$800 San Francisco TKO's "Acid Lady" (M-)...no regrets..someone will probably say I could have gotten it for less, but no one came off this record except for a friend of mine!

$456 Eddie Bo - We're Doing It (The Thang) I've seen it sell for much higher

$395 Three Texas 45s - Youthful Musicians "Brougham", Cold Fire 45 and a Lightmen Plus One 45, all raers...'twas a great deal

$250 Revelation Funk - Running 45

$162 California Soul Explosion 45
$125 Apple and Three Oranges - Free and Easy
$90 Bad Medicine - Trespasser
$68 Primevil 45 ..I definitely underpaid for that one, but that was the winning bid
 
I offered Brad H. 1150$ for an unknown and unpriceable Detroit acetate and he said no.

THAT"S DEDICATION TO THA' GAME LADIES (on both parts)

actually i guess that makes it worth more than 1150.
 
stark reality for me too. $500 on ebay tho in 99
no regrets, no remorse.

besides that, $100-200 many times...

might have paid more for Ritual two years back at WFMU. why not?
