I think the most I've spent on a single record was around £100.
Toby Legend - Time Will Pass You By.
I've seen that on offer for around £400 now.
I don't buy expensive vinyl these days, certainly not since the kids arrived on the scene. I couldn't justify the prices to the wife for some of the records I'd like to add to my collection.
I do own several records that are worth a few hundred quid each item, but I'd never part with them for anything.
Most of the vinyl I own was bought years ago, for what was then expensive at the time. All of which have held their value and probably worth a lot more now.
Instead I tend to buy up as many CD's as I can afford these days, that way I can own some of the rarer and more expensive tunes.
Even some of the CD's are collectable now though.
I remember seeing one CD going for £50 on ebay and I'd seen it for sale at a local indoor market for face value only the previous week.
I even took time out of work to buy it.
It's worth around £150 by now.
A lot of the rarer CD's were deleted after some of the artists, or whoever owned the rights objected to them being used on compilations.
I have quite a lot of deleted CD's that are becoming almost as collectable as the vinyl.
