The Most you have ever spent on a Melvins item for yourself

[PorcoRosso]

What is the most hard earned dollars ( or easy earned ) you have spent on some kinda Melvins summin for yourself ?
What was it ?
What was the hardest piece of Merch for you to acquire ?

For me it was ........
hmmmmm,
maybe Lysol with the tape 70 $,  ummm , nope , ASA was 78 at the record shop when i originally bought it.
prolly that Tora tora tora book set thing for a hundred bucks plus shipping .
next would be
A senile animal with buckle and pizza box  for a hundred .
Hardest to acquire  was ....
The Monthly series of 7 " s , which I pieced together over the years and was down to needing two of em. But I decided to go back to school a few
years ago (at 33 ) and sold them last spring to help buy food someone offered me 300 and a hepa-titus Lp, I took it .
Someday  I will piece the set together again. At least they went to a good home.

Oh crap , I forgot about the other Pizza box set I bought from Amrep. what was that , like 225 or 240 to have it shipped to canada ?
then customs nailed me for another 30 clams   that was the most for sure.
At least it was a lot of wax , so I can justify it to myself .

Crap again , I bought an extra BSM of the junko cover for like 90 bucks too , prolly plus shipping.
Damn. I could buy a ( cheap shitty) house with the amount I spend on their merch.
well maybe a car at any rate.
Even if it is tough to buy grocers , least i gots tunes !

"St Peters dontcha call me, cause I can't go ....
I owe mah soul to the (melvins) company store . "

electroretard test press.
houdini residency haze xxl edition test press.

[buddy holiday]

wooden endless residency 500 + shipping + customs, ending at well over 600.
sealed lysol without tape

spit it out needed some persistence and hard negotiation on discogs.

Melvins AmRep Singles collection from the 90's. Complete and the first one is signed by Buzz and Dale. $250
Second was Endless Residency Eruo Edition, think I got it for just over $200
Think I also paid around $150 for my trilogy

[(the) flutter nuts]

(Granted I think these are some extreme auction results)

think there is only one thing on that list that was me who bought it, and im at the very bottom, so one more high price item, and im only on page two for highest price on an auction site.
but i have multiple higher ones that werent done on no auction site so they dont show here.

It sure would be sweet to have the wooden crate !
or that Isis Shades of a swarm set that I saw on those listings ,
Man I bet Buzz and Dale are laughing their asses off when they see those shit sandwiches go for like 400 clams ! HA!
( No offense if any of those are y'all )

The most I've spent on the Melvins was a trip to ATP 2008 that the Melvins and Patton curated. Worth every penny.

The most on a Melvins item had to be the European version of the Endless Residency vinyl on orange wax.

The Endless Residency wooden boxset - by a long way!
