    I got Avocado in super amazing condition (maybe played a few times before) for $175 last year. I thought that was a pretty good deal... although it's hard to look at a record that cost $175 and think of it as a bargain. image

    Wow, I also remember picking up a copy of Let Me Sleep at Amoeba Records Hollywood for the same price in around 2006 when I was living down in LA. I thought it was a mistake. Somebody must've dumped off a few of them not knowing what they were.

    I also got the original pressing of "Into The Wild" for $12 at Amoeba Hollywood in 2007 using in-store credit. Then, I walked across to the Arclight and watched the movie on the big screen.

    I went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when I was on a business trip in Cleveland last year, and when I went through the store I found a sealed PJ Riot Act for $14.99 mixed amongst the reissues of Ten, Vs. and Vitalogy...

    Found No Code, Lost Dogs, and Live on Two Legs at a record store in Athens, OH about 10 years ago. Don't remember paying more than $20 a piece for them.

    I also just got Soundgarden's and Oasis' RSD releases through a third party seller on Amazon for retail plus shipping.
    "There's a $10,000 bill in it for you."
    "Oh yeah? Which president's on it?"
    "Uh, all of them. They're having a party. Jimmy Carter's passed out on the couch."

    I purchased my binaural sealed at used kids in Columbus ohio for 16.00. It had some creasing on the jacket but still sounds great today 13 years later.
