How much are you willing to pay for a music album?

I only buy original pressings of cds unless it is like for example badmotorfinger by soundgarden or similar where it is the same version that has been in press since its release. So the most I have paid for an original press CD is $30. Like flotsam and jetsam's no place for disgrace and some iron maiden cds. i say some for the iron maiden ones because I have found on eBay 2 of them for $10 once. There are more pricey original pressings that I want that are more because they are harder to get. With vinyl I take any version of the album because of the super high prices that some albums can go for.

At Christmas some years back my brother had said he wanted a particular P J Harvey album so my Mum went on Amazon to buy it. Amazon were selling it for around £2.99 but one of the other sellers had it listed for £22 2nd hand for some crazy reason. She decided to get the £22 as she thought she was getting something more for her money. bet that seller couldn't believe his luck! 

Usually no more than 10 - 12 bucks - unless it has additional content (2 discs, DVD, pamphlets, poster etc).

Depends on how great and well received the band and album are

Something else as well, I find that EP's are really expensive! I've been wanting to get Purson's last EP since it came out but there's no way I'm paying the same price for it as I would a full-length when its just four songs. 

Probably $50 USD is my limit. No matter how much i like it i would rather buy a bunch of other music for the price of one! My theory is eventually everything will get re--released and most stuff can be heard online at least. THere are some exceptions of course

It would depend on the format and the circumstances: a CD isn't really expensive to produce. So, I can be shocked by some prices in the record stores: sometimes, I think that 20 euros for a CD in a big record store is too much, even when I know it's a long chain from the recording studios to the retailers: the toll of the managers, the toll of the distributors (and the truck drivers), the toll of the store, etc...
But I bought a lot of CDs at concerts, which costed me 10 euros (roughly $10 and £7.20).

If we're talking about LPs, I would go as far as calling to thievery! I can't understand why some LPs are sold 25 euros (or even more!) and some others are sold at 12 to 15 euros - for the same length of music!
For example, I remember that, in the mid-90's, in France, a CD would cost 100 francs (15 euros), but LPs were sold under the price of 70 francs (11 euros and some cents).
So, it means that LPs are now sold at a more expensive price that 20 years ago... depending on the band, the label, and the speculation.

To make it short: 10 euros for a CD; 12 euros for a LP.

I don't mind paying for most prices.

I try and buy albums that are in the 0-15$ range, but I will pay over 15$ for an independently released album or a double-album if I have to.

I paid about £25 for an early Buzzcocks record, but that's about it.
