I recently "bought" the super delux 30th anniversary edition of u2's Joshua Tree, 1.4 kilos of Bono and crew. Very nice it is as well. It was something I wanted and my father and brother facilitated its purchase via some birthday vouchers thumbsup. I think this is my most expensive purchase.

Which got me thinking....what's the most the musos on here have spent? It can be records, merch, or memorabilia. Let's skip gig tickets unless anyone has flown somewhere silly specifically to see a band.

How much did that set you back?

 

[KVLT]

£3,500 on a 19 piece Roland V-Drum kit.

It's also the most amount of money I've spent on anything.

I thought this was limited to music purchased and merchandise? Mine was probably limited edition 12 x mini CDs edition of Ladies and Gentleman We Are Now Floating etc with foil wrap cover and medicine box. Think it was £79.99. Accidentally trod on it about 2 years after purchasing it.
