Top 30 Most Expensive Items Sold In November 2019

Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉

We hope Santa has been good and brought you plenty of incredible records straight out of your Wantlist. While we are all fully immersed in this new decade, the Discogs Top 30 most expensive list is always a bit behind so we can verify orders. So today we’ll be revealing the most exclusive items bought in the Discogs Marketplace in November 2019.

The first record that got my attention is number 7. Yes, friends, a super rare record released by Boards Of Canada during Record Store Day 2013 has been sold for $2,300. That’s only $200 under the median sale price that we mentioned a few months ago on our recap of the most expensive Record Store Day releases. If you ask me, it’s a good deal considering that only four copies have been found, with allegedly six copies in existence in total. This is one of the biggest holy grails for collectors worldwide.

Another striking thing about the last few months’ expensive item lists is how classical music is having a moment on Discogs. In October, the number 1 was a record by Beethoven (obviously not recorded by him directly). In November, another classical record reached number 2 and was sold for $3,000. A new golden age for classical music on Discogs? Maybe.

For the rest, you know the drill, plenty of rare Funk/Soul singles up on the list, that suitcase filled with industrial music we saw a couple of years ago, Bathory (because this chart can’t do without them)… I don’t want to spoil anything else for you, so scroll down and let us know in the comments what you think about this month’s most expensive list.
