How much did you pay? Just let us know in the comments, and those of you who wouldn’t otherwise answer, please answer and help us defeat selection bias at least in part. Just as the heroic Tim has done (please see the second comment), I’m sure he stands up to terrorists as well.
And it’s simple: just cook the cheeseburger in milk, what’s so hard about that? Do note the burnt milk will ruin any good pan you use. If you’d like to read some Doris Lessing, The Golden Notebook is compelling even though it is one of those books which old school feminists feel no man can possibly like. Just be wary of the date who tells you it is his all-time favorite book. I’ve never been persuaded by Lessing’s science fiction but some of you will wish to try it.

I bittorrented it even though it was free.
Also, I am an IP attorney.
The album is great by the way. Will definitely see them in concert when they come to town.
I made a bid of 0.00 pounds. yeah: utility maximization still rules for old fashioned neoclassical economists like me…
I paid 0 pounds. I’m treating it as a sampler; if I like it, I’ll purchase a CD.
5 pounds sterling. Also, I am so thrilled about Doris Lessing. I always thought her politics would keep her from getting the Nobel.
I paid 3 pounds. Once you take out the cut of the record company and the cost to physically manufacture cd’s, I figure their cut would be around 3 pounds anyway.
4.70 pounds
I bought the discbox. My consumer surplus has been well over over $100 for 4 of their last 5 albums (Kid A is the exception), so it seems like a safe bet.
Of course, the real reason I bought it was so I could signal to Tyler how muych I like the band.
So – I presume this is my fifteen minutes of fame?
That’s a very generous reward for my thirty seconds of fleeting “heroism”!
$0. Maybe more later if I like it.
I paid $9.99. The preorder site was so slow, I nearly gave up. The download was very fast yesterday morning, however, so I can’t complain too much.
Three pounds, which I believe is about $6. Plus 0.5 pounds download fee.
I paid 3.45 pounds with service charge, 3.00 pounds without. I would have paid a little more had their site let me listen to the album first. As it is I paid less than half the price of a “normal” download, but I think a reasonable price for an album download is about half the price the biggies charge. And the quality of the Radiohead album deserves a little more than half.
Paid $0.
I calculated my best response and it came out to be zero pounds.
4 Pounds sterling plus the service charge; and I usually do not pay for music.
1.45 with the credit charge. If I was less concerned about it being good I would have paid more. If I had been able to listen to it before purchasing I would have paid 3 or 4.
0 through bittorrent. I enjoyed it a lot more than hail to the thief. Will buy the physical album.
Bought the discbox ($81).
I would pay $3, to take part in the experiment.
Radio who?
3.5 pounds. Three standout tracks, the rest is decent. I’m happy.
I was unsure whether to me it would be worth the usual “emusic.com price” (23 euro-cent per track) or maybe even the “iTunes price”, so I listened to it beforehand (a british radio station played the whole thing) and opted for the latter. So I was willing to pay 6 pounds (incl. the service fee that would have been around 10 Euro), but changed my mind when I learned it was only available as 160 kbps mp3 files, and paid only 5.
Eddie doesn’t seem to get from which population Tyler is trying to sample.
Initially 10 pounds but there was a problem with the verification code a number of times.
I lowered my price to 7.55 pounds so that it would be an even 8 pounds after the fee.
If the site was prepared 10 would have been it.

Zero. And I don’t see an incentive for paying more even if I end up loving it (which doesn’t seem likely from the first few tracks I’ve listened to).
i paid $5.12 and it also created a fraud alert on my credit card.
five pounds, plus service charge
i payed $0, and i’m an big fan of radiohead, especially kid a and amnesiac.
0. Would have paid 2 pounds but didnt want to spend time to enter CC information.

$4 including the bank fee
$0
I paid $8.99, the amazon album download price. And it is absolutely worth it.
0.0 pounds.
3 pounds
4 pounds, and the record is quite good, so I feel I got my money’s worth.
$0, but only because they charge so much for their damn t-shirts. I feel like it evens out now.
8 pounds.
£5 (£5.45 after the transaction charge).
Their best since Kid A.
Do you put the cheese on the burger while it’s in the milk, or add it at the end?
Presumably you could cool the milk after to make the world’s most horrifying milkshake…
three quid
zero pounds
1 pound plus the fee
£5 + the service fee.
I planned to pay $5, but the site wasn’t working so I got it from BT.
Zero. I did not download it as the quality sucks at 160kbps. I only buy/download at 256kbps or greater. There is no excuse for doing anything less than 256.
5 pounds.
Their website does not seem to be working, and I therefore didn’t download the album. Quick thought, on Tyler Cowan’s interview wit NPR, he said that small bands still need record labels to promote their music. With the proliferation of myspace and facebook music features, along with their respective event features, could such sites erode the need for record labels, just a thought,
6 pounds
6 pounds
