I just paid $90 for a copy of Portable Life on eBay. I guess you could say I've taken my recent obsession with Gregg Alexander to the limit. Anyway, have any of you ever paid a ridiculous amount for an album that's hard to find?

i sold a copy of the lost Powerman 5000 album on ebay for $60. that was pretty awesome.

not 90 bucks

i bought the first New Kingdom album used for $3 at a store because i remembered it being awesome only to find out that i was remembering it differently.

wasn't it the 2nd one that was awesome?

65 on ebay for a copy of the album by Holding The Void, Joseph Arthur's side band with Pat Sansone.

He later started selling copies of the album again at shows. I was annoyed.

mmmm, little Stephanie Bunker all growns up.

maybe, but i listened to the first one a lot in high school. upon closer examination it wasn't very good.

I sold a rare copy of Queensryche's 'Rage for Order' for $100 bux years back....

and the bets part is, the band officialy released that lost record a year later........suckers...

Years ago, just before mp3s were the rage and trading bootlegs was the norm, I sold a bootleg of a 1977 Genesis show on ebay for . . . $136! This was a "real" bootleg - not CDRs - with professionally printed artwork, etc, and was extremely rare. I had worked at a little music store in the mid-90s and they stocked bootlegs, so we often picked out titles we wanted at wholesale prices, so I stocked up. I probably owned about 100 of these pressed bootlegs on CD and when I realized how pointless it was to own them when I could just make copies and have, essentially, the same thing, I started selling them off. Most didn't sell for as much as this one, but I must have doubled my investment by the time they were all gone. Sure wish I'd bought a bunch of those Genesis boots, though.

For more "information" on the subject, see...

I actually saw that movie. Yeah, she got some big cans.

More Danielle Brisebois goodness:







By the way, remember that voice Jay-Z sampled for his hit "Hard Knock Life"? That was Danielle as a child! She was in the original Broadway cast for Annie.
