There are quite a few cds out there that i'm looking for that are rare and Sometimes they can be quite pricey, like $50 and up. Would you pay that much?

I've spent 75.00 on Eddie Hazel's first solo album. It was in mint condition, not even opened. It used to belong to the engineer.

dancerella said:

Yup.

See, we're die hard music fans!

I spend 25 euro's on the 12" of Uptown, it is the most I ever paid for a vinyl disc.... not that much huh?

dancerella said:

Yup. Or more.

up to $100, depending on the rarity...

Depends on how much I like the artist. For example, if there were an album containing all of the unreleased songs from Stevie Wonder (especially from the '78-79 era), money would be no object. However, if it was a Raphael Saadiq bootleg album with unreleased tracks, I'd harrass some of my fellow orgers to burn it for me.

I spent $60 for the same album, the jacket has edge wear but I don't care

"California Dreamin'
On such a winters day"

the album i want to get costs $125.00! it's the cold blooded cd by rick james! i've been trying to get it for ages. i think might break down and get it.

does anyone out there have this album? is it really good? i heard it was a little more electro yet still funky. is that right?

I'd spend as little as possible. I have found a few OOP albums for $6.99 to $8.99 that I've resold on eBay for up to $100. And I'm not gonna tell you which ones.

I will spend a little more than usual (within limits) if it is a rare version of a song but if it is the same music with different packaging, I could care less.

In the 1980s, I had to have the original, because I have never liked cassettes, but in this modern day era of CD burners, I am happy with a good CD copy of the song. With me, it's all about having the rare version of the song to listen to from time to time rather than rare record itself for the sake of collecting.

You know, it's not that I'm such a crazy-ass collector or anything, but so much of the music I want is OOP.

It's so bad that sometimes the 70s albums that I want were once issued on CD, but those CDs are OOP, and I can forget about finding the vinyl.

You get what you pay for I guess.

Ebay is where it's at though.

I collect stuff from female MC's past and present,I have every chick you can possibly think of.....I spent 20.00 for a burn copy of Charli Baltimore's "Cold as Ice"....I thought for a burnt copy that was much....I stumbled accross burnt copy also of Yo-Yo's unreleased 1998 "Ebony" album,it was a package deal with a CD of hers I already had....I have never paid no more then 50 cuts....I am looking for Antoinette "Who's the boss?"

I bought the 1999 single/b - side - How come you don't call me anymore ?
in 1989 for about $10

And the Black Album on vinyl also in '89 for about $25
and yes i would pay more for a really rare L.P or C.D

oop = out of print.

Oh yes , i could've probably guessed that , thanks for replying so super fast

it would depend on what album it was....and if i had the money to blow.

but i would do it if i could, and it was something that i really wanted

Same here! I mean I am sort of a collector in a way but it's more about the stuff I want being out of print.
