I've spent a ton, but I would only regard $77 of it to have been a waste.

Vinyl LP's,

12 inch maxi vinyls,

7 inch singles,

CD's,

CD singles,

cassette tapes,

VHS tapes,

DVD's

Concert tickets,

travelling to concerts in Copenhagen - Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Holland, England

I have spent a lot over the years, but that's just fine, biggrin

nothing have been wasted.

Maybe the CD: 1999 - the new master and a few others were disappointing. lol

I have not wasted any, it has all been money well spent.

I don't wanna say wasted, but I got fucked over ROYAL!

I bought all his albums on vinyl from the first album to Diamonds & Pearls...and in a fit of rage my mom BROKE THEM ALL!!!

So I rebought everything on CD up to The Gold Experience...and she did the same fucking thing...

Bought all my favs, which was still a good amount, on CD up to Rave...including several singles...and my ex husband somehow misplaces the CD booklet they were all in!!!

I gave up after that...

During my mom's recking times she also burned photos, posters, t-shirts and my love symbol vanished...I hate my mother!

i don't know about waste, but i spent literally thousands on going to the cellys, and more thousands on the o2 shows, and more thousands on all the other gigs, and more thousands on all the pressed disc bootlegs in the 80s and 90s, and more thousands on the official cds and related artists stuff, and vinyls etc

i've easily spent tens of thousands on prince. if i wasn't a prince fan i could have bought a house earlier than i did, and i mean literally

I've spent quite some money on Prince over the years, although I actually don't have a clue how much. But I don't feel as if I've ever wasted any money on him (maybe I would have felt differently if I had also paid those $ 77 wink )

Just remember this : never regret anything that made you smile !!

Less than a grand I think, our money not yours so thats $700US there, that includes mostly CD's new and used, Tapes and Vinyl (All 2nd hand) a few posters, books (Everything from Steven Ivory in 1985 through to 21 Nights) and a couple of posters years ago. Then theres the DVD's and the songs I have bought off Itunes like F.U.N.K.

As I did not buy into Lotusflow3r, I consider it good value for money, 4 what I have got back.

So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time

He is worth every penny I have ever spent. I wish he would tour in the US so I can spend some more.

My thoughts exactly!!! I don't feel 1 dime was waisted... every penny of it went exactly where I wanted it to go, and if he'd give me more...I'd give him more!! I love that man to pieces!! biggrin biggrin

Prince is GORGEOUS. I'm inspired. GOD is GREAT. Is there anything else to say? lol

The only money I've 'wasted' was on the single Cream/Horny Pony...I've bought 5 copies of it because it just keeps breaking. Bought it when it first came out and it started to disintegrate (you could see specks if light through it if you held it up to a light), bought a replacement and it did the same. It then went out of print and I fond another copy whilst on holiday in LA...that got scratched. I now own a 3" Japanese import and another 'normal' copy...too scared to play them smile

0 cents.

I'd like to give a shout out to all my friends who let me rip their Prince CDs and the internet for allowing me to shamelessly download illegally cool

Oh, and none of my efforts were wasted. It was all worth it!
