I really enjoy it when he gets three-figure bids on a “rare” rock LP and then right below his listing you can see five or ten listings from other sellers for the same LP with better pictures (and play graded) in as good or better condition with no bids whatsoever. I’ve noticed that a couple of weeks or months later he often has the same exact rare LP listed again. Not saying it’s the same LP or that the prior listing was part of a shill scheme, just find it all interesting. I also cannot believe that anyone dropping three or four figures on a jazz LP would not spend some time educating themselves as to condition grading, original pressings etc. So, again, I find his whole auction process very interesting.

The rest of my experiment can be found by looking at the items for sale under my profile… I even put up a “high-ball Bob-esq” buy it now price just in case. I would be extactic to even get half of what BobDJ gets !!! Hopefully people on ebay are in a buying mood this week. Cheers.

Typically I dont sell very often, but I just listed three “insanely rare” holy grails on ebay in hopes of riding our “hero” Bob’s coat tails to fame and fortune. Stupid test really, as these are my “display copies” and in all likelihood, they probably won’t fetch anywhere near the record prices he gets. Although if they sold, it would certainly get me one step closer to upgrading my turntable amplifier !

I guess the wisdom that Cee Dee brings is a ticket to good sleep so will pass on actual words to describe “HIS HOLY SHILLNESS.”

I guess as a “killer” seller of “records” on ebay I can just enjoy the inflated prices I can get for an RL LED ZEP II and many other titles. Makes me wish I had bought that TRIPLE THREAT I saw at Music Baron in Anaheim a few years back for $600!

Peace Out – ZARABETH

The N.R. stamp means something is non-returnable (i.e., a cut-out).

As we all know, jazz LP auctions typically stay pretty quiet until near the end, so I was kind of (pleasantly) surprised. I took a look at the bidder and was interested to see that he/she recently won several of BobD’s auctions. Perhaps this supports a theory that yes, the BobD stuff is madness, but apparently there are bidders who simply have money to spend on records and bid strongly for the ones they want regardless of the seller.

Can anyone tell me why this would appear on the cover of a factory sealed album?

Looks like an endless source.
