The web store said that a hacker got my credit card number but later I was informed that the web store was responsible.
Since that day I don't buy with credit cards on Internet.

Wow. I won't spend more than $17 for a single CD album or $24-$25 for a double album. That's why I was so pysched when a thread a while ago introduced me to Syn-Phonic, because I could get Camel (and all this other music) for less than $25.... So I'm a miser, tightwad, whatever...
But the most I've ever paid for a single CD is probably $17, double $23.

£1000 ($1700), for COURTYARD MUSIC GROUP's "Chan Eíl Ann Seo Ach
Cuíd Dha'r Du Rachd Dhuít" (1974). This was a privately pressed
psychedelic folk album, issued in a run of 100 copies, cut by pupils at a
Scottish public school. The headmaster was friends with Robin
Williamson, and encouraged his pupils to cut an acid-folk album in the
INCREDIBLE STRING BAND vein. The album is much more electric,
however, often resembling PAUL GIOVANNI & MAGNET (who cut the
superb soundtrack to the incredible cult film "The Wicker Man").
£1000 albums are relatively rare, but many psychedelic, progressive and
folk/rock classics from the seventies (both private pressings and obscure
major label releases) regularly sell for around the £300 to £500 mark.

Back in the golden days when people still bought vinyls, somewhere in the mid 80s, I must have been 16 or 17, I bought Robert Calvert's "Lucky Leif and the Longships", an album I knew my brother had been hunting for for years, in a 2nd-hand shop as a birthday present for him. It was a pretty rare item at that time and set me back 105 DM, about 7 or 8 times the price for new LPs back then. He was extraordinary pleased. It came into my possession again when he decided to only listen to classical and jazz from now on and gave his whole collection to me.

I paid 50 bucks on Ebay for Animal Notes a CD by a local art rock group called Crack the Sky. It was out of print at the time. Now you can get it for twenty bucks.

For me, the most expensive single cd was a Japanese version of Adventures In Medern Recording by The Buggles. 80 Dutch guilders, which is about 36 euro, which is about 43 American dollars.
It was well worth it! I still love both Buggles albums.

That's a lot of money for a CD, but I think Relayer is worth it
In general I have the principal I won't pay more than 15€ for a CD, mostly even lower, only on occasion I pay a little more, but it has to be something I desperatly want.
The most I payed was for a combination purchase.
90,- € for the triple live box, and the DVD from Led Zeppelin (don't remember the individual prizes) worth every stuiver, but still a lot of money.
