what’s your limit?

[merle]

i just bid more on a record than i ever would have dreamed.do you cats operate with any kind of standard limitsof what you'll pay for a grail?how about more run-of-the-mill raer?curious...

 

[twoply]

There are a couple I'd pay $300 for if I could afford it. But I can't, so I won't.

 

[edpowers]

there is a record i said i'd never pay over $$$ for...but after being outbid by more than $100 on several occassions i now realize i'll just have to break bread.....

so,yes i have limits but on few occassions i will ignore my limits

i haven't spent more than 20 bucks on something (my collection definitely shows that) but i would have no problem spending a few hundred as long as it was something i really liked.

When I have the money to blow, limits mean very little.

I just got paid for some side work I'm doing and knocked off some serious wants. An extremely rare free jazz album from ohio, a local boston funky jazz LP.... the work is a pain in the ass, so why shouldn't I get some fun out of it.

I can't always spend like this. Plus if times ever get rough, the albums will probably have increased in value, if I ever needed to get rid of em.

Rey you're scaring me with your new slimmed down look.

Why are your Pm's off btw? I wanted to send out a gift (leisure related) and need your addy.

I've yet to break 100, but that is pure luck. I know of a couple things I'd pay maybe 200 for if & when I have that kinda money to spend on a record.

I don't know why my PM's are off...strange. I just tried to PM Raj to fix the problem but apparently his are off also. I PM'd you.





The slimmed down look is a summer thing.

My breaking point is usually about a bill.

 

[merle]

i think mine is about $200,
but i have to really want it
and it must be extra minty.

My friend spent $5,000 one one direct buy last year. Flipped it in one sale a week later for $85,000. I can't even talk about what was in it, because it is totally isane.

yeah, this is when a record starts to seem more like a piece of plastic & less like a sacred object for me. Also, paying big money is anti-climactic for me - the real joy comes from finding that super dope record you never even knew about in the stack of $2 records you just brought home, etc...

I agree with a lot of people here. When there is money to blow, and a record has to be had, I'll go as far as I can. But that in itself is rare, so I will have a limit on how far I'll go.

 

[TheMack]

so far the most ive dropped is $50, but i would drop any amount as long as it's not overpriced and ive got the money to spend

 

[TheeeCasualMale]

Most I've ever paid for one record is $30 and I can't see myself paying more than $20.
