Jesus, This is a loaded question. 

Only if your significant other is snooping around here!

$600 for the Melvins - Endless Residency Wooden Boxset. I purchased one of the last ones from Haze at the Shepard Fairey Gallery show awhile back. It was more expensive than usual because of the gallery's cut. Haze made up for it by sending me a killer wooden Melvins show print he made. Stand up guy!!!!

Also I ended up with one of the rare "Silk Screened Side D" editions. Fuck yeah. I was also at each of the shows recorded for the vinyl - so it is pretty much my holy grail.

Total Dollars Spent On Melvins Merch :   Best not to think about it ......
Hours Spent Enjoying Said Merch :  Numerous
Aggravation Level After Missing An Online Release : Medium to High
Happiness After Acquiring A Missed Release : Medium to High ( bitter plum due to extra expense , but a tasty bitter plum nonetheless)
Favourite Piece Of Owned Melvins Merch : Uncertain
Most Listened to Melvins Vinyl ( recently ) : BSM Junko Variant
First Ever Melvins record Purchased : Eggnog, back upon its original release ( was also my first 10" record).

Though the condition is not quite fatal , the addict may present with impaired control over merchandise acquiring , behavioral issues and preoccupation with  merchandise . Continued use despite consequences and denial may lead to bankruptcy and homelessness .
Habits and patterns associated with Merchandise addiction are typically characterized by immediate gratification (short-term reward), coupled with delayed deleterious effects (long-term costs) of Musical enjoyment .

Hmm, I can live with that.

Honorable mention: Scored a copy of Alive at the Fucker Club for twn bux in Hendrson, KY. the guys there obviously didn't know what they had.

Also seen a copy of Neither Here Nor There at this place for like 70 bucks, paperback. Worth it?

[homeless_dad]

I didn't spend the cash but I've got neither here nor there which was a gift from my pop.  Both sentimentally and monetarily high value.

[(the) Razor]

Neither Here Nor There.

Like $90 or something a few years ago, maybe cheaper.

Worth it?

Yes, there are some good early stories from the band and many "extensions" of album art. Don't leave it on your coffee table though for Mom or the kids to see. There's an image in there in particular....

Mine is in extremely good condition but I don't read it because the glue is dodgy and feels like it'll break.

You should be able to find the paperback on ebay for 50 or under.

Almost all of the paperbacks (Mine included) had the cover separate from the spine..

     I still want to replace mine with a hardcover.

If the label says Melvins, you know it's quality!

Im so happy I picked up BULLHEAD, HONKY, LYSOL all for dirt prices.

Bullhead was like 11.95 sealed.

HONKY was probly around 17 something, sealed.

Lysol for about 14.99...again, Sealed.

Ahh Glory days of Rotate this are long gone.
