Not vinyl; rather, a T-shirt. A yellowed, Beatles butcher cover shirt. For $10,000.00
WTF? I'm pretty positive this isn't original Capitol Records promo swag or anything, so what about it could justify the price?

This guy's been trying to sell MX-80 Sound's three vinyl LPs for $199.99 apiece for several months now, even as more sanely priced editions of same have sold or gone unbidded-upon. I swear, it's as if the guy knows I exist and thinks I'm incredibly rich and/or incredibly stupid. Right, wrong, and wrong.

I've seen a CD recently on Amazon (can't remember what title) up for $2,000 from an independent seller. I think it was a decimal place error though. Not sure.
― Evan, Sunday, 6 June 2010 23:27 (thirteen years ago) link
Found the details:
Beautiful Dreamer - Adam Ant - Notes: The single that got away! Its planned release was abandoned after poor sales of Wonderful. 4,000 copies were initially pressed of each CD single. All were destroyed...well almost all. Only 7 copies of CD1 are believed to exist as a result of them being sent out as promo copies after the radio promo CD supplies were depleted. They were recalled, and not all made it back. Only TWO copies of CD 2 are known to exist. The second of which turned up on eBay and was sold with a winning bid of £2120

Looking at the "Completed Listings" search is a fun way of finding crazy music that actually sold. This is the highest priced CD sold in the last 3 months (I think it goes back 3 months)
