I don’t get it. He gives an in-depth description of the Bob Dylan including good pictures while at the same time his descriptions of the Blue Notes sucks. You’d think that he’d done his homework before he’d put the whole lot online. At the same time I simply can’t understand why someone would pay almost two Grand for that Sonny Clark, since it clearly has the trademark R on the label…

I just noticed that the second batch of LPs listed by this seller are now all cancelled. My initial thought was to be skeptical but then I started thinking that perhaps a knowledgable collector made an offer for whole collection. I am now curious.

I for one was willing to take a gamble (up to a $$point) – ended up being the cover bid on AT’s Delight, I believe.

The jazz LP’s got up there in price for this seller–but this Dylan test pressing went over 5K!

This Sonny Clark, Cool Struttin’
has the R.

Cool Struttin seems to have the R under the E in Note and the “inc” in the address, thus making it a later pressing. Hard to tell for sure…

Well, there is a reason why many of the sellers on eBay are refusing to send items to Italy, because of their horrible postal service. Packages get lost or get damaged. At least that’s what I’ve read. So the question is maybe not if the items are original and in top shape, It’s if you are willing to take the chance with the Italian postal service for such rare and expensive records..? Personally I wouldn’t bid on such items if the seller doesn’t have more in-depth info on the records in the description to begin with… I’m not a gambler I guess.

About fifteen years ago in a pre-eBay era I bought from a seller from Turin Italy some Blue Note originals :Walter Davis Davis cup, Horace Parlan Movin’ and groovin’ ,Art Taylor ATs delight and Cool struttin’.The latter I unfortunately traded for a Cecil Taylor FMP box set..This seller is also from Turin,perhaps a coincidence.

Yes, Indeed. My mistake — Brazil and Germany. It’s fun to look back at all of the posts. Just do a search using the term Nautiluso.

The only thing this seller seems to have going for him is that all the pics seem to be taken at the same location. I’m always leery of someone selling high end merch with almost no feedback history.
