What is your most valuable LP (according to auction results)

I was totally surprised to see this result for this LP that I picked up years ago. It's a great record, but this price is crazy!

Most likely it's:

U2 - All That You Can't Leave Behind

It's the only LP I have that sells for > $100

...that I know of, at least.

 

I don't have anything too expensive. I have a few in the $100 - $200 range. This one goes for good money sometimes :

Probably:

First UK press of King Crimson Red (pink rim, Island). Mint.

 

Based on Discogs, the highest thing on my list is Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards by Tom Waits that has sold for up to $508 - that is a 7 LP set. Second on my list is a bit of a shock; it's the Classic Records version of the Almost Famous soundtrack. According to Discogs, it has sold for $465. Cripes.

 

For some reason, CD's of Eric Anderesen's 'Bout Changes 'n Things Take 2 trade for big bucks.

There are two copies on Amazon now for $399 each, but a couple months ago there was just one priced at over two thousand bucks. Whether anyone ever pays such prices is another issue.

I periodically see 3-figure prices for CD's that are in my collection... it's hard to fathom.

 

Oh yeah I have this one. I think it's a really good sounding pressing. I paid $15 about 10 years ago lol

I still have a sealed OG copy of this :



But it's difficult to find other sealed copies that have sold so it's a bit of a mystery as to value.

 

Herb Albert Whipped Cream and Other Delights.

I have no idea, but it is an interesting question. I'll have to do some research.

 

According to Discogs, my highest valued would be my Promo copy of Nirvana-Nevermind

 

For me it is a sealed Abbey Road from 20 years ago. Not worth much according to completed auctions I see, but maybe someday...

 

Do box sets count?

 

Not sure but without thinking too much maybe The Remains (mono) LP on Epic.

 

Not an LP ... an EP. 7-inch, clear vinyl, 11 songs per side. I paid 99 cents. I've seen it go for $650.

Last Sold: 27 Jul 15
Lowest: $1.00
Median: $9.00
Highest: $15.00

I thought the seller on collectorsfrenzy was dreaming.

I'd sell mine for less than $2749.00 USD but not $15.00. (The vinyl on mine is shiny too. )

(This is beside the point, but IIRC the list price was $3.98 when I bought it new for $2.98.)

 

For me, probably either a copy of The Who's 1966 'Instant Party' Holland only lp release on the Brunswick label (vinyl near mint) or a bootleg lp of The Who's Fillmore East '68 soundboard recording, pressed on splash wax vinyl (near mint) on the K&S label. I have some Who eps that are more valuable than these lps.

 

I bought an original vinyl copy of Rush's Vapor Trails at a record show for $25. A year later I sold it on ebay for over $330.

 

I'v got that plus 1 and 11 but I suppose Harry has not mentioned them.

 

One of them definitely was (no longer have it):

 

Think my most expensive is Espana LSO Argento on wide band Decca 3 to 4 hundred pounds, don't know what that is in Dollars.
Another Harry push up the price.

 

Hotel California DCC probably.

 

I have a sealed Chris Robinson Brotherhood Betty's Blends that seems to go for a few dollars .
A minty Bob Dylan Euro Box that is 20 white vinyl l.p.'s
Original John Lennon Roots

 

I have an original album from the 90's...NM condition.

 

I recently noticed that my Tom Petty - Live Anthology vinyl box goes for crazy money. Got it on Amazon after it came out for like $30 when it went on sale for a brief moment.

 

I have a NM promo of License to Ill which seems to hold a little value as well
