Al, did you win the Jackie? Pretty nice pressing price even if the grade was exaggerated. Mines VG+ for the records with a beautiful cover. I could have matched them but I figure I would go for a good bit more.

ok, if you are trying to sell a record for 1,000+ take a decent picture. Right? That Jackie Mclean record didn’t show the whole cover AND was clearly not what I would call NM-. Spotting all over the back slick? Nah, still cheap though!

right Rudolf,but I meant there were 2 bidders on the last, offering over 2,000,that lost.
this is a chance to get a far better copy.

dottore, that is true, those guys who were outbid, whilst offering 2K+, logically should be interested, but always provided they are still there. It is a chance game. They may be travelling, or have changed their ideas/priorities.
I confirm the general trend of overall weakening.

right Rudolf,but I meant 2 bidders that offered over 2,000 but lost (see all bids).
seems logical they get their chance on a far better copy.
so I hope for you.

It seems clear the situation of that the Japanese collectors is not for to buy many records.

I’ve noticed a real softening too (even felt in the middle-of the road stuff I typically buy and sell), and I think a lot of it is because of the Japan tragedy. I usually list about 25 records at a time, and typically 6-8 of those go to Japan. In my last round, just one (1) lone record went to that country. Not to mention that overall prices were flat too.

dottore: basically your are right, but the guys who won at those prices are not there anymore. It is all a question to be there at the right moment. The market is thin and people act on the spur of the moment. Sellers need faith, and lots of good chance, to sell well.
