Scalped a ticket to the final Metro show for $900 - almost my entire life savings at the time - yet took an endless train ride from NYC to Chicago instead of flying to save $25. It seemed so incredibly important to be there. It would have been inconceivable to me then how little I care for the new music now.

seriously tho prob the dimarzio pickups he helped design (or... had his name involved with some other way?) sometime last decade, forgot how much those cost exactly, probably not even that much
those were pretty awesome actually |

All I really have are the SD reissue (cost like $30) and a Gish shirt (cost like $15)
I also bought the same type of cymbal JC used on the SD tour (18" AAX Metal crash) for ~$115. It's thick and loud as hell. |

Not really a "SP Item" but i wanted to try to clone Billy's '74 I love my mom strat in it's blue form since around 1997. I decided to break down and find all of the right vintage pieces and since he dropped the new Corgan pickups in i did the same. The neck is a '74 model and the body is a hardtail '76. It sounds really fat with that bridge pickup of his.
$1100 later here she is. This is what she sounds like: https://soundcloud.com/burnthelies/s...ver-unfinished https://soundcloud.com/burnthelies/s...ver-rough-test http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y49.../7476strat.jpg Actual SP item. $350 (present from the wife) http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y49...psl5ea7fmj.jpg |

I got free lunch with billy for saying he is the single most influential artist of the nineties.
Well not free, he walked out after I said it was just a joke and he's actually the weird uncle of 90s rock so I had to pay for both meals. |

how much did mcis cost? like 30$? that's the most i spent.
wait wait...do show tickets count? I don't remember the price for the 2000 next to "last" UC show ticket but I know it was well above 100$. it was a good spot and I let some netphorian exchange it for theirs because they wanted to be close to their friends. I was such a fucking idiot. not that it would make a difference to me now how close to the stage I was though. Hopefully it still makes a diff in their life, I think it was The Gaddrow. |

actually counting bus tickets and all I spent about a 1000$ on that like 4 days trip to chicago, partly becuase i lost my return ticket and had to buy another without the 2 weeks in advance cheaper fare. I had at the time just lost my job and i came back home to no money. |

I think I paid $80 for each 20th anniversary show I went to... that's probably the most on a single item. If we're not counting show tickets, I think I paid $30 or so for the Japanese Today single that had Apathy's Last Kiss on it.
But if you add up all the shows and records I've easily spent $1000 on teh b0lly. |

The only reason I ever bought the first EP was because someone had given me a 50 dollar HMV gift card and I thought it might be an item that would increase in value... How naive I was |
