i got a bargain last week - PG's "US" album on double vinyl in mint condition from my local used record store for £1.99 !!  there seems to be a 500% premium on Prog records there - Peter Gabriel is prog-related so that may explain the price drop

You lucky b*****d!  Riccardo Zappa's Anthakarana Swami 2,0 €
Matching Mole's Little Red Record for 3,8 €
Jukka Tolonen's The Hook/Hysterica (two albums) 7,2 € combined
I suppose those are the cheapest I've found.

Probably the best deal I got was $6 for Frances the Mute (though I hope to get more things cheaper)

Well I bought 5 records from Russia with 2 euros, don't remember what that was in local currency. These five included Genesis, Deep Purple and King Crimson.

i dunno found a lot for not much.
I spent 30 minutes online trying to find a site that had a copy of Koenjihyayakei's Nivram on cd. Brand new for something like 10-13 bucks.

amazon.com often has some decent prog for 0.01 cents, and with shipping to my house that comes to $2.60, which isnt expensive at all. I got Santana Brothers, Union and Stereotomy at that price.

There's a chain of record stores in northeast Ohio whose cheapo used bins ($5, $2.50 and $1) I like to comb through, looking for interesting stuff. Here's a few of my prog and prog-related finds (all $5 or less):
Anathema - Eternity and a natural disaster
Kevin Ayers - whatevershebringswesing - $2.50
Colosseum - Daughter Of Time - $1, in mint condition
Dream Theater - Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory
The Gathering - if_then_else - this started my Anneke addiction
In the Woods... - HEart Of the Ages
Opeth - Morningrise - $1, this started my Opeth addiction
Pure Reason Revolution - The Dark Third - $2.50, but I've since seen it for $1
The Van der Graaf Generator - The least we can do is wave to each other - $5, remaster, in mint condition, this started my VDGG addiction
A lot of times, these stores will take in large amounts of stuff, and if they don't recognize something they'll be like "Who knows what the hell it is, throw in the cheapo bin, maybe someone will buy it....." The Opeth piece I picked up when Still Life was current, before they were a "household name". Keep looking and you never know what you'll find (or as my geologist brother says, "gleaming jewels can be found in fields of sh*t").

Today I picked up:
Threshold's 'Critical Mass' and Stackridge 'Purple Spaceships Over Yatton- Best Of' for £1.99 each in a nearby charity shop. There were some other assorted prog albums- an Ozric Tentacles best of, a few Nektar CDs and some neo prog/art rock I know little about- Pineapple Thief, Credo and Product.

^ I am fairly sure that's unofficial Chopper, but seeing as No Earthly Connection- by far my fave Wakeman album- is OOP in the UK and was a £1 makes it an excellent find. Have no idea about 'The Cost Of Living' though...
I did find Ritual's eponymous album down a local boot sale for £2- very enjoyable Gentle Giant meets Yes meets Queen kind of album.
