Daryl — it depends upon how much time I have and how involved I am in looking on eBay. Sometimes I’ll just do a search of the records with the highest prices, auctions only. Sometimes, when I have more time, I’ll look at all the auctions over a 24-hour or 48-hour period. I used to look at all of the auctions on eBay, but I don’t do that anymore because I am neither buying nor selling at this point. But I may be back to selling soon, which will place me on eBay more frequently. Hope that answers the question.

Al, I’m interested in the process that you use to identify the high-end auctions; will you share? Do you simply type in “Blue Note” to the auction screen? Do you have favorite sellers that you seek? What approach do you recommend for finding the faves that you eventually post? (I ask not just to understand your process, but also to understand what sales elude your process.)

Agreed Fredrick. I can accept a promo stamp and even a punch hole but a big X is a no go.

The 1580 had a big ugly X penned across the whole back slick. Maybe that’s why it didn’t get into the $1000 bin. I wouldn’t have chosen that copy for my own collection, because of that X. A little wear on the cover is fine, but that kind of stuff isn’t that appealing.

In reference to the George Wallington on New Jazz: I have a scan for you all of a New Jazz catalogue. - You can download it as PDF file by clicking HERE. - Courtesy of the person who sold me his copy of Milt Jackson BLP-1509, because he sent me the scan of this New Jazz catalogue not too long ago.
