Yes Rudolf. There is no more “middle class” on Ebay.

totally agree with your statement that 90% of the items listed don’t sell. EBay has become some sort of a commodity market: the product must fall in a well defined category (ears, rvg, Prestige/Blue Note labels ect). It is not about music but about collectibility and increase in value. E.g. I am selling at the moment the last (5°) of the pentalogy of Sonny Rollins trios (1° Way out West, 2° Freedom Suite, 3° Village Vanguard, 4° Metrojazz Trio/Big Band, 5° the 1959 trio with Henry Grimes and Pete Laroca, professionnally recorded in a studio by Swedish Radio and issued on the Dragon label in Stockholm. Essential music, superb sound, but no views at all! Apparent reason, it does not fit in the narrow “collectors” picture of these days.

That is surprising, especially considering it’s a stereo copy!

I’m always a bit sad about the low prices for Clef (and Verve trumpeters). They not as pricey as Norgrans (which are not always all that pricey) for some reason, and there are so many great records that can be had for a song (so to speak). While it’s great as a buyer, it’s just kind of a shame that so many great records with super sound and lovely cover art are not as valued as many lesser sessions. I’ve picked up many VG+ absolutely stellar Hodges, Pres, Getz, Tatum, Oscar Peterson, etc. on Clef, Verve Trumpeter (and Norgran) for under $15, and often for under $10. VGs can be had for under $5, and they sound superb. It just doesn’t seem right that a classic, swinging Lester Young record will sell for 1/10 of the price of a middling Blue Note Liberty session just because of label cachet. Again, great as buyer, but it’s screwy in my opinion.
