Some items are pretty expensive!!! Specially if they were deleted or out of print. Here, you can talk about that. We can decide you are crazy or not, then.
This is my case in Roxette items:
- Marie’s “Kärlekens Guld” set: 270 Argentine pesos (90 American dollars).
- Per’s “På Väg” set: 270 pesos, as well.
Another artists items:
- ABBA “The Singles Collection”, tin-box containing 29 cardsleeve cd singles, with limited-edition number: It costs 160 Argentine pesos. But in that era, 1 peso = 1 American dollar. Then, I paid 160 Dollars.
- Agnetha Fältskog “My Love, My Life” 3 Cd-set, including the mega-rare bonus cd, only available through Swedish TV offer: 100 dollars. Yikes!!!
Let me know your insane-shopping, as well.

Marie’s Silver I Din Hand 12” promo and Salvation French 12” that I have paid for but never got it ): So I think that was the most expensive item I ever bought..hehe!

My 5 x platinum Look Sharp! award from the States presented to Sam Goody. ...Cannot remember the exact price, but as far as I remember it was about 8000 DKK + tax and postage (*yiiiikes*).. But it was woth every penny, it’s huge (looks the same as the one in Leffes at Tylösand).

Baladas en Español. To this day I still have no idea why I found it here in New Zealand. I was lucky to get it though. I’ve never seen it since.

I remember buying the Soul deep single for £40..i would never spend that much nowadays...though i am still a huge fan i wouldnt spend that kind of money on something i am never going to use...dont even have a record player. I also bought the Dance Passion LP for £75...rip off
A few other 7” singles that i cant remember the price of exactly, but they werent cheap...I want you (Eva Dahlgren, Ratata, Roxette), Sa nara nu (lasse lindbom band), Neverending love (that was cheaper £14 i think)..., efter stormen 7” and a few others i cant remember.
Rich-UK said on October 12, 2004 16:25:
Yup, I’m also in the Dance Passion LP for £75 category! I must have been rich back then. From er. Rich
Vixzter said on October 12, 2004 16:32:

ncurran said on October 12, 2004 17:04:
and how about the best part of your collections that was free....
I still have the HMV CBB window display all wrapped up in my parents loft, a promotional CBB card signed by marie and per with “thanks” on it they sent to me when i gave them little gifts on the CBB tour....a huge blown up framed picture of me and Marie in 94, and the picture the fanclub took of me with Marie and Per on the meet and greet on the Room Service tour. Sometimes the cheaper/free items are the most special...
Faezdel said on October 12, 2004 17:09:
@ncurran: I agree. I don’t buy vinyl items. I haven’t a turntable. And cd sound is light years better than vinyl records!!! I only have 4 vinyls in my collection, because they were cheap:
- ABBA: Gracias por la música (LP)
- ABBA: Voulez-Vous (LP)
- ABBA: Grandes Éxitos (Argentine release of “Greatest Hits Vol. 2”)
- GEMINI: Gemini (1st album of a Swedish duo, formed by Anders Glenmark and his sister Karin). Anders was the producer of Frida’s “Djupa Andetag”, where she duets with Marie. Gemini only released 2 albums, but I love their sound and lyrics.
What’s WICF box set??? Wish I Could Fly??? Let me know...
ally77 said on October 12, 2004 17:40:

I think it’s time to stop collecting scarfs, isn’t it?

I forgot to mention, that the most valuable item is probably the C!B!B! Crew Tourbook (also on the pic).

@AURYTE:
Well, cannot remember how we got in touch but somehow I dealt with an american guy on the internet who wanted to sell this award as he needed money or so... ...guess it was an auction. ..damn, I’ve spent way too much money, uaaah!
ATLTK said on October 12, 2004 20:39:
i want both wicf box set and the joyride one, to make it short I want all boxsets someone who have smething to offer
Faezdel said on October 12, 2004 21:04:
I think that WICF box was a promo, not available at stores. Anyway, it isn’t appealing to me...
Vixzter said on October 12, 2004 21:24:
i’m not selling my boxsets, got both on ebay and both times was offered them as secound highest bidder as 1st bidder didn’t pay up
on_a_mission said on October 12, 2004 22:52:
just uncensored and uncut, a bootleg. that was £15ish, but a good buy nonetheless.
LoneGunman said on October 13, 2004 03:12:
Per Gessle - Pa Vag Box Set
Per Gessle - En Mazarin Alskling ? DVD
Believe me, it´s really rare down here in Brazil ! :)
Faezdel said on October 13, 2004 03:39:
Hahaha. That Per’s set is very expensive. Everywhere. But I played it just 1 or 2 times, because I don’t like Per’s solo career... I didn’t know at the time I bought the set.
Faezdel said on October 13, 2004 03:48:
On the other hand, the cheapest item I ever bought was “Favorites of Crash! Boom! Bang!”. Actually, I have received it yesterday. I bought it on eBay, new and sealed. It costed me $ 0.50 (4 dollars including postage).
A real bargain!!!

Church Of Your Heart (New AC Mix) 5”CD for 3$.
This was too expensive, I never buy anything that costs more. :)
per_mson said on October 13, 2004 16:47:
The other part of “Ännu doftar..” on blue vinyl.. ;)
I guess my “Love Peas” Promo CD is pretty hard to get as well since I heard they were destroyed when the name changed to “Ballad Hits”...
Jud (moderator) said on October 13, 2004 16:58:
can i have a piece of the blue vinyl too? just a small piece, will put it in a frame ;)
per_mson said on October 13, 2004 19:27:
@jud: Sure you can! I can break off a little piece for you! ;-)
AntiMario said on October 13, 2004 20:51:
Also I bought the one and the only Roxette official live CD in Johannesburg. Was issued under Coca-Cola promo name and costed around 30$. Had to exchange it later for nicer stuff :) Haven’t seen anyone else having that in the world. LOL
oshtay said on October 14, 2004 01:06:

per_mson said on October 14, 2004 08:32:
Hehehe, “more money than sense” is a good expression for a hardcore collector I think. I personally have extremely short of money for the moment, but my sense is still non existent! ;-)))
harriej said on October 14, 2004 20:10:
Most expensive one was for me:
Original Pearls of Passion CD, bought via internet.
Later I gave it away to my sister, because I bought the Re-release which had more tracks on it.
Anarem said on October 14, 2004 23:57:
$60 Canadian for a Joyride poster autographed by Per and Marie. I think I paid too much for it! :-)
Edit: I just remembered– $95 CDN for Marie’s boxset!
RobS said on October 15, 2004 07:44:
TBH+ bonus CD - AU$60,
i ordered it from amazon canada, and didn’t realise that the prices were in canadian dollars, not australian!! but i’m happy :-D
tevensso (moderator) said on October 15, 2004 11:03:
I split that Church of Your Heart AC CD with AntiMario, that was hefty... :)
per_mson said on October 15, 2004 21:13:
Oh!! So you are into this splitting records thing as well Tev? What do you use? A saw?
tevensso (moderator) said on October 16, 2004 12:58:
I have Per’s used underwear, it cost me too much to mention...
AURYTE said on October 12, 2004 04:52:
Well, I know that one guy was selling THE HEARTLAND CAFE under the name ROXETTE for $95.:):):)
