That's just an offered side, and there have been no trades on discogs. Thus a meaningless number IMO.

I searched for the highest-priced CD currently on discogs and came up with this comedy 2-CD set:

Another silly and meaningless offer.

That's nothing, "pharma bro" Martin Shkreli purchased an LP from The Wu-Tang Clan for $2 million.

Here's an example of dopiness on discogs:

https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/21801610

Two offers of an obscure release: one at $14.00, the other at $32,699.00.

And I find discogs pricing overall much superior to eBay and Amazon!
