What is the most money you have paid for a single soundtrack? I think $80 was the most I ever spent.

There have been plenty of occasions when I've found FSM and LLL CD's in my local used shops.
I couldn't believe my luck.
For normal prices, yet.
I always wondered why someone would go through the trouble of getting them, only to get rid of them.
Not financial hardship, I hope.
I call that a product of death. Surviving family members having no interest in their loved ones score collection so they dump them at their local used CD shop or Goodwill store.
Well of course family members have no interest in the junk we all amass in our lifetimes, all those lovely discs & books & "stuff". I've had to help clear out a house of a parent this year (a chore many of us will have to do), & all this stuff does overwhelm you. It's...anyone interested in this? No, will a charity shop be interested? No, then it's down to the council tip with it. And it's going to be the same with my (& everyone's) stuff (& there's no University bidding for the archive  ). Sometimes I walk into a charity shop, & it's full of goodies that I'd like, & I'm thinking, oh, someone with my tastes has died.

I recall a seller had a sealed copy of The Dark Crystal up on Ebay for $50 a couple years ago. It was up for about 4 months, never selling, despite being relisted every two weeks. I would have bought it if it was a bit cheaper. I sent a message to the seller if he was open to working with me on the price, given how long it had been listed unsold. He responded. "Sorry. Last one" Shortly after, he raised the price to $129, where it went unsold for over a year.
To this day I question if these listings are either real...or if these sellers actually want to make a sale?
Currently there are 4-5 listings for Quartet's 2CD of Total Recall with prices ranging between $79-$129". I would pay $50, but no sale. Predator 2 is frequently listed for $200+, never selling, no option for a "make Offer".
Another seller had a Bootleg of Predator on Ebay priced at an insane price of $1000 for nearly a year. Guess if it sold?
Maybe these sellers think someone will buy one day and keep relisting titles, but I don't see them selling, so it's perplexing why any seller would bother at such high prices, unless for reasons beyond a real transaction.

Just was in a store (brick and mortar), where I saw a couple of firsts:
Intrada's EXPLORERS for $25
and their NORTH BY NORTHWEST for 100 clams.
No.... way.....

Hopefully it will at least cover the cost of my funeral.
