That is an INSANE price - not that's not worth it - but i can't believe someone would pay that much for a CD!! That buyer must be partying...
Dori

Dori, it has to do with:

• supply and demand
  
• who is bidding against whom
  
• perception of futures market
  
• individual desire at the time of availability
  

I am not a fine arts dealer, and take the attitude: I like the painting, I can afford the price, so I'll buy it. Occasionally I have to bring in a professional to ensure my insurance is accurate and certifiable in the event of a disaster. It is interesting how something that was once valued at 10 x the price I paid, ten years `later' is only worth half that.

Some LPs (ancient, old hat!) are worth a considerable amount of money quite regardless of the fact that modern technology can so enhance the original recording a CD would play better. It is an indication of Hayley's growth in people's perception of her value. It is a great compliment to her artistry and growing importance.

Hi Dori.
...there are Scotch whiskeys at over a thousand pounds sterling a bottle.
At least Hayley won't leave you with a hangover,
and then you can play the CD all over again whenever you want i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif
In fact I think she's priceless !

Hi Comet,
Indeed Hayley is a priceless tonic!

Tonic? With a single malt? Canadian ginger if you must, or bracken-tinted burn water but ideally, the only thing that should go with a single malt is another single malt!

At which point we should desist as I recall you and I got into trouble from Roger a few months (perhaps a year?) ago through diverging onto the 'all angel's' snifter the taxman formally accepts as 'evaporation' when the quantities in stock don't match the quantities produced!
