[QUOTE="Mig, post: 174956"] Have been reading through this thread and thought I might add my humble opinion. There are loads of different reasons people would pay mega bucks for records. The main one I believe is the memory & emotions factor which was mentioned previously. Different records have different meanings for different people. I am sure everyone has a tune that brings a tear to their eye or makes the hair stand up on the back of their neck, whilst thinking of good times in the past. Rare tunes that you couldn't get hold of years ago 'cause you didn't know the name and there was no Gemm etc or sites like this with id sections passed you by. Now people know what they are, supply and demand comes into effect. If there were only a few hundred pressed but the tune was on a mixtape that was getting passed up and down the country, and you were listening to it sitting down the park or in yer mate's bedroom or at a party getting trashed and having a ball - you want to get those memories back! At my first allnighter in '91, there was a squad of my mates and it was one of my best nights ever. Every DJ in the place played Awesome 3 - Hard Up in their set as it was just out and Together did a live PA with Hardcore Uproar. I have two copies of each of these tracks and although they are reasonably easy to come by I would never part with them even for £820 quid!! Anyway, my point is this - noone can criticise or question anyone elses reasons for paying top dollar for a tune. If it's one that makes you feel good within yourself, then it's worth every penny. ;) Mig PS - Had the pleasure of seeing Orville & Keith Harris do a live PA in a mucky field in Ayr in 1992 in a big tent and must also confess to owning that particular record!! :$ [/QUOTE]
