Discogs Top 100 – Most Expensive Records

Being record collectors ourselves, we’ve paid our fair share of hefty sums for long sought after records that were pressed in shamefully low numbers. We were curious to see if anything we’ve purchased ranked amongst the highest priced items that have sold in the Discogs Marketplace since we launched in 2005. While we won’t say whether or not our purchases made the cut, for the sake of our relationships, we thought you might be interested in seeing this list of the most expensive records sold.

I’ve also added this as a list within Discogs. If you haven’t checked out the recently added lists feature, here’s a good example of how it might be used.

This list of 100 releases are items that were actually sold and paid for. All prices have been converted to $USD based on exchange rates at the time of sale.
