Every official album - for conversation sakes

Let's just say for the sake of conversation someone wanted to buy the entire Prince catalog and just said..to hell with it, I'm buying the WHOLE lot.. (of course this list isn't EVERYTHING) but is the official major Prince releases.

So for the sake of being curious, I decided to take the route of used CDs (If available) at the cheapest price at amazon.com. The total I came up with and I'm not talking about Shipping and Handling prices, since those aren't lumped, since the used CDs come from different distributers. Here's the breakdown. Amazon did not have "The Black Album"..so I did an Ebay search for a "Buy it Now" option, lowest price at $25.00

For You $10.99
Prince $11.98
Dirty Mind $7.99
Controversy $6.44
1999 $3.50
Purple Rain $1.50
Around The World In A Day $6.19
Parade $3.95
Sign O The Times $11.00
The Black Album - unavailable (Ebay Buy It Now price "25.00")
Lovesexy $8.49
Batman $3.18
Graffiti Bridge $7.99
Diamonds And Pearls $1.25
Love Symbol $7.75
The Hits/The BSides $18.87
Come $1.65
The Gold Experience $7.00
Girl 6 $7.49
Chaos And Disorder $3.20
Emancipation $3.14
Crystal Ball/The Truth $19.99
Newpower Soul $9.84
The Vault $2.96
Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic $2.19
The Very Best Of Prince $7.50
The Rainbow Children $4.95
One Night Alone.. Live! $39.98
NEWS $8.59
Musicology $4.57

$234.12

for 39 Discs approx $6 per disc.
As for "The Black Album" the cheapest "Buy It Now" price on Ebay was $25.00

which brings the grand total to $259.12


Can someone do this at Ebay and find what it would cost there..or even try to go cheaper. I think this could be a lot of fun.

I wonder if its gotten a little more rare since it's 98 cent days..LOL

Newpower Soul ~ Prince (Audio CD)
Popular Music: See this item (Rate this item)
Buy new: $12.49 Used & new from $9.84 Usually ships in 3 to 5 days


NOPE..you are right.. I just did a search for "New Power Soul" instead of "Newpower Soul" and came up with $0.99

New Power Soul
Prince

New Power Soul

68 used & new from $0.99


So that brings the new catalog price to $250.27.

Is it possible to get the WHOLE catalog for under $200?

Back when I was on MY quest for all of Prince's albums (all of which I got used or on sale in some way -- woohoo!... except for NEWS, cuz people have to buy it for it to become used), most of them came out to $9 or $10 (even TGE, which surprised me). I got The Black Album off Amazon for $17 (that and Crystal Ball were the only things I got online).
