Ahhhh! My first bidder decided to withdraw bringing me back to my original starting bid price of $250 for a VG++ cover and recording of Bohemia After Dark featuring Julian Cannonball Adderly. Does this happen offer?

Ilya, alas, I did not. I haven’t really bought records on eBay in a while, even though I track them here at the site, so I don’t have up to date sniping software, and I’m not even sure if that is still a preferred mode of bidding anymore. So, unless I’m completely on top of things and happen to log in at the right time, I miss a lot. It’s OK. I have a lot of records. 🙂

Al, did you get the Sonny Red by any chance? Ended not even close to the $1,000 bin… Stunning to see “Basra” sell for more… Also, stunning to see his “Saxophone Colossus” not reach $800. What was that: the combination of high starting price and not being djukic or just not a lucky day?

Clifford hits the nail on the head. No one is paying 3k just for quality music. Not that I am any less guilty of enjoying the vintage cool factor as much as the music. But the motivations of other collectors are of little consequence to me, though I admit they are fun to ruminate on.

yeah, some less than impressive feedback on that $1000 ‘scogs “NM” copy would make it a gamble…

manusardi1 (dig the guido m. reference) is pretty trustworthy in my experience. I’m sure it is a really, really nice copy.

Gotta say price on that Dream Talk does sort of boggle the mind considering there’s several seemingly nice copies on Discogs for a third of the price or less … I get paying extra for a trusted seller, but over two grand more? Some people have more money than they know what to do with.

It’s a very, very good piano trio LP, but as with anything that goes this high it’s all about the rarity/demand. I have it on CD…

So, with all due respect to everyone involved can anybody please tell me why the MUSIC recorded on this album is worth 3 large ?

yeah, that’s a chunk of change for the Dauner (RIP) but clean copies almost never surface…

Seeing that $3000 final price tag makes me treasure my Bellaphon 2012 exact replica reissue even more!
