Feedback was left by seller (Fred of jrc)…. and by the buyer, therefore this transaction went through, as eBay does not allow a change of mind after a auction. Records look a lot better when you are selling them versus buying them especially on original classic blue notes, and from my experience jrc records get returned a lot based on grading, hopefully the new owner will be satisfied, as its not good to have records returned over and over and handled, transported from mailings, etc , not good

eh, Popsike doesn’t necessarily indicate the record was paid for, but the feedback left would indicate payment and perhaps it was returned *or* the dude didn’t read the description, paid, and changed his mind. Either way, that is certainly not a clean example of 1588.

That Jazz record Center (blue note 1588) was auctioned off in the past with a end date of 0ct 23,2018. and a sale price of $2345.00… i assume the sale went thru. since feedback was left for the record. popsike also recorded the sale/date

This is clearly the the same record that was auctioned off in OCT/2018 you can see it’s the same exact jacket and record, notice the stamped name on side 1 – and the back off the jacket here is the link
of that auction

click on the link above this page for that same record and the record is clearly the same. even though jrc gets a lot of records, from my experience lot of them get returned for not being in condition described.. I have know about Fred from the mid 90’s from back in the day before Ebay, when you had to go thru goldmine and discover magazine for jazz lp auctions. I won’t get into details, but a lot of these expensive blue note lp’s he list , have been relisted before .only this time it was relisted before Ebay takes away the ability to view past auctions as you only have a certain time to do it

Hard to explain the happenings on EBay but that’s probably why we watch this stuff.

I actually have a very scratchy, but playable, copy of “Sonny’s Crib”‘ alas, with no cover, that i bought for a buck, a couple years ago. I have to recount that tale here sometime this year.

yeah, 600 is insane for that record. I like it but would not fork over that kind of cash to get a copy!

$600 for Clarence Peters? Ugh. Bought that LP in mint condition for like $100 many years ago..was not in love with it and sold it for $200 or so at the time after making an audiophile recording of it. At the time I was ecstatic haha…

We are contemplating the weekly Blue Note flood.

Well, it seems the top bidder thought better on the J.R. Monterose and retracted their bid. Back down to $410.

@Japhy: Jazz Record Center opened it’s doors in 1983 and is run by its owner Fred Cohen. Like Clifford mentioned, a lot of the high-ticked items/collections being sold on eBay nowadays are sold on consignment. Fred has a good reputation and obviously has many contacts. A rare item sold by him can fetch up to twice as much (or even more) than when sold by the original owner.
