In 1948 a 10 inch Blue Note lp sold for $4.95, which in current inflation adjusted dollars is $52.66. So I guess the BN reissues are a bargain. Any interest here in the Poet series, 80ths, etc?

Those VG Jazz Lps sold over 1000$ seem cheap compared to VG- northern soul 45s casually sold over 6000$!

I commissioned that bill Evans to them. They are very very thorough on their grading. I listened to it before selling and it played vg+. It had a few very light marks close to the label but nothing terrible. When they grade with “slight storage warp” there’s not much of a warp at all. I didn’t notice it when I played it.

I was watching the auction your are referring to. I have a Tosh copy of PIJ but I was tempted. Then I wasn’t.

To gw- reading that right now. Very engaging and informative. Nice to be able to stream any title she’s referenced out so far.

VG and VG- with storage warp going for those prices is absolute insanity. I’d rather have a clean reissue any day.

In addition to the high prices obtained for lesser quality but more rare items, I was more surprised by the prices for the fairly common BNs (Search for New Land, Horace, Jimmy Smiths, etc.) getting between $100-200 each. Although I already posses nice copies of these records, I routinely pass up buying add’l copies of these when I see them selling for less than $30-$40. Getting a 3-5x return on your investment might have me thinking differently abut snatching these up.

…It’s definitely been a wild ride on ebay the last few months. I’ve seen more than a few vintage LP’s sell for way less than they normally would as well. Glad to see there are still some great deals to be had in these times of uncertainty.

Read Amanda Petrusich’s “Do Not Sell At Any Price” to find out about country blues 78 collectors and prices—a wonderful book. I think I bought the Evans right when it came out—and still don’t have an original cover. Or “Miles Ahead” for that matter.
