The Vinyl Factory recently posted the 10 most expensive records sold on the Discogs trading site so far this year. If you've heard of more than 2 of these then you are indeed a serious collector.
1. Coil – Gold Is the Metal (With the Broadest Shoulders) (1987), $1,889
2. Bernard Purdie – Lialeh (1974), $1,875
2. Necros – Sex Drive (1981), $1,875
2. Mammut – Mammut (1971), $1,875
2. Dr. Z – Three Parts to My Soul (1971), $1,875
2. Nicholas Greenwood – Cold Cuts (1972), $1,875
2. Lee More – Free and Easy (1981), $1,875
2. Vicious Visions – I Beat You / No No’s (1983), $1,8752
2. Old Man & The Sea – The Old Man & The Sea (1972), $1,875
2. Various – Sonatas for Violins (1964), $1,875
If you take notice there are 10 titles, but 9 of them sold for the same amount - $1,875.
What's the big attraction? Most are limited collectors items. For instance, the Coil record was one of only 55 pressed (you can listen to a sample here).
It's pretty cool to see the great drummer Bernard Purdie on the list though.
Any bets that the buyers of these records never actually listen to them?

Bizarre placement of commas in the prices makes it very hard to know what they actually sold for.
