My best was last year when I sold a copy of the Moonglows I knew from the start, a London triangle centre 45 for £320. If it didn't have a noticeable scratch on the flip I could have got double for it. Picked it up in a box lot with a bunch of other old records for a tenner.

I have Arthur Russell's Tower Of Meaning up on Ebay now and I hope it sells for million$$$.

Other than that, I sold a signed Nick Cave 12" for $160 once.

Sixty something dollars for an LP of music by some guy from New England who builds big metal sculpture instruements (can't remember his name now). Sold on eBay to someone in Japan. Guy expressed displeasure that there were some minimal markings in pencil on the back of the cover.

badly drawn boy's EP1 for 200 pounds (nearly three times what i paid for it). also getting A$220 for the solo album by the main dude from Something For Kate was an alarming and pleasant surprise.

Sold the three-album Glastonbury Fayre set for a hundred bucks several years ago. Every time I see one now, it's selling for more than that.

The store I work at just sold a 45 for $1800 on eBay.

My personal best is $1200 for a NM Louis Jordan.

In short, totally sweet.
