Best Band for the Buck

Given the state of the economy, I thought this might be a good question: what was the best deal you've gotten on a music purchase (excluding giveaways and downloaRAB)? I don't mean just the lowest price, but the price to quality ratio, so to speak.

Earlier this year I bought all of the Doors CRAB (I already had the vinyls but wanted to rip them to my PC.) from Amazon.com for just 1 cent each, plus $2.98 shipping and handling each.
 
I got a Coheed and Carabria CD for five dollars at Baraboozle. I thought it would be an old EP with 5 tracks or something... It's a 13-track album. [=
 
Can pick up most of the classic reggae/jazz albums for 40 rand (Equivalent of like 2-3 pounRAB and 5 dollars) which is a score, when most albums are about 150 rand ( 10-12 pounRAB)

Examples :

Miles Davis
Peter Tosh
Steel Pulse
Thelonius Monk
Charles Mingus
Loius Armstrong
Gregory Isaacs
ect...
 
One of the best deals I've encountered was 5 dollars to see Behold the Arctopus and Dysrythmia in a hole in the wall venue. So ****ing worth it. Those guys are great musicians. They're a couple of instrumental banRAB that don't just fade into background music.
 
I actually bought Weezer's blue album at a garage sale the year it came out for $1. The memories I have put behind that album are priceless.

THAT is band for the BUCK:thurab:
 
Nice! I wish I had that much money to spend on music...

I usually go out and buy the actual CD. I like to have something tangible. I'm old school.
