I can't recall the most I've paid for an LP; it was probably less than $40.
The most I've sold an LP for was a sealed MFSL Pink Floyd Meddle for $1100! (I kept another copy for myself and enjoy it immensely.)
I recently scored a copy of the Mosaic Complete Recordings of the Paul Desmond Quartet with Jim Hall; the 10 LPs appear to be unplayed and have translucent, very quiet vinyl. If you like laid-back jazz or jazz guitar, this is a fantastic set--very consistent musically, except for the bossa nova beats replacing standard snare brushes and cymbals on some of the tunes.
