Caroline – you’re right, I guess I was making reference to the seller of the 3 Sounds record, which maybe should have been put in the previous post. I don’t track copies of 1600, but its still surprising that the value of the record could surge as much as it did in this particular auction. I haven’t seen NM copies sell, but I know I paid $8 for a VG+ copy last year, and I don’t consider that a huge windfall.

@Chris: I think you’re confused, no? The buyer of those eight LP for $13,000 you name came from a completely different seller, didn’t it? It was not the same seller as this one who sold the $11,000+ Mobley. As to the 1600 sale, just as an afterthought, I have not seen a NM copy true first mono of that specific LP on eBay in over two years – unless I missed something?… Caroline

Chris – I’m beginning to think that the “or” scenario makes more sense, especially with this one buyer picking up 1600 at a price more than 10x the going market rate for a mint copy. I mean we are talking about the 3 Sounds here, not Jutta Hipp and Zoot Sims. Something is definitely odd about it all.

If you look at the feedback already given to this seller, you’ll note that the same buyer won #1572, 1544, 1567, 1524, 1542, 1576, 1600, 1598 totaling north of $14,000. Someone is either out there with deep pockets and willing to take a chance on a low feedback seller, or…

Mike – yeah, some Japanese buyers used to do that, probably still do. I remember a guy under the name “ondemand12” who I believe did commission eBaying.
