]My copy of "James Dean Is Not Dead"- paid $5 for it in the 80's and it's worth much more now. (not sure how much but more than a paltry $5)

Re: What’s your most expensive piece of Moz/Smith memorabilia?
£80 for morrissey shot , i picked another copy up on ebay in december for £12 ....
its all relitive how much you spend , when i was 16 i bout a clear vinyl copy of ASK , from the netherlands (or some where ) it cost me about £30 but at the time i had no money so it was a big deal , i have spent more than that since then

My biggest Moz spending was the "Peepholism" hardback for which I paid 102 GBP....
. It tends to be easier to spend LOADS of money on Smiths items than on Moz stuff

Ahoy Mick My Darling, WHAT MOZ Japanese vinyl? Geez I guess I can't have everything...but I'm open to offers
This may be bending the original rules a bit, but my most expensive purchases were all BPI Gold record awards. I bought each of the seven Smiths BPI awards in the range from $375 ("The Smiths", as presented to Rough Trade Records, price reduced since it was damaged in transit) to $1500 ("The World Won't Listen", as presented to one of the lawn mower parts).
I must've paid $200 for the "My Love Life" jigsaw puzzle, as well.
The most expensive CDs I bought have been the radio shows (all in the $100-$200 range) and that weird two disc publishing set, released in a hardcover booklet. The first disc is Smiths songs and the second is Smiths covers by other artists. I think that ran me $250. Has anyone else seen one of these for sale?
(Years ago, I had acquired multiple copies of the "That's Entertainment" CD for less than $20 and I gave them to a couple of band members who didn't have them. If I'd have held onto them, I'd be a millionaire!)

Honestly, i don't remember (it's also better to forget what you've paid) but i paid up to GBP 100 for promo discs - each, of cause.
The only thing i will always remember was buing a disc from an offer here at Morrissey-Solo. No-one has ever heard of the disc, and the discussion, whether is was a fake or not was hard.
In addition, in those days - 1o years ago, the pre PayPal days - sending money from Europe to the US was either a long, difficult and costy experience or you had to send cash-in-envelope.
The 25 $ asked were the best ever spent - for the That's Entertainment promo!
