This summer was quite a summer. Even before it got started, something huge happened back in June when a Canadian copy of Prince’s ‘Black Album’ became the most expensive item ever sold in the Discogs Marketplace. If you thought that was a crazy price tag, prepare yourself for what might happen soon. August 2018 also […]
When Pink Floyd is mentioned around these parts, it’s usually because Dark Side Of The Moon has topped this list or that list. It’s a pretty common occurrence. However, this is not one of those instances. The top seller of August 2018 isn’t that behemoth. It’s an edition of the 1969 double LP Ummagumma. It […]
June 2018 was an especially eventful month for our Top 30. Yes, our all-time record was smashed by an extremely rare Canadian copy of Prince’s Black Album. You normally hear the news directly from us, but this time, you might have heard it from different media outlets. But well, another month, another Top 30! Even […]
There’s only one word that matters for June’s top sellers: Prince! The Purple One has set another record in the Discogs Marketplace, and so has The Black Album. Back in April 2016, a US promo copy went for $15,000. While a promo copy from the States is incredibly rare, it’s nothing compared to the version […]
Our monthly Top 30 is definitely a fun one to create. Like… are you normally allowed to check other people’s bills in the restaurant? Or to see how much they spent in that beautiful painting on the wall? Wow, that turntable must cost thousands of dollars! It’s not that often that we get allowed to […]
Last month, The Beatles reached the #1 position of the top selling items chart again. While the fans’ devotion to them is undeniable, the Top 30 most expensive items sold on Discogs in April 2018 looks a bit different. You might have never heard of the #1 before, and that’s totally fine since this is […]
Labeling March 2018 as a strong month for expensive records at Discogs probably falls short. With 15 records above the $2,000 price tag and four (!) above $6,000, this is one of the most active months for loaded collectors that comes to mind. Before we start with the rundown of what went down in March, […]
Record collecting is a weird science. Our monthly Top 30 is strong evidence of that. Let’s jump directly into the details. Some months we see that the most expensive item is by a non-famous artist or band, and some others you will see one of the best selling bands of all time crowning the list. While […]
Our analysis of December’s most expensive items sold on Discogs was a bit odd, you know, just because of that real human skull thing. Now it’s time to go back to more common formats (we seriously don’t encourage musicians out there to publish their music in any sort of human remains). Vinyl is king this […]
For our most active Discogs users, it’s no secret that there’s a never-ending debate about formats within the community. While vinyl seems to be the favorite, other formats are also popular. This month, however, you’ll find the number 1 spot on our most expensive items of December ’17 is taken by a slightly less popular […]
