Comments on: Jazz Vinyl Update For the $1,000 Bin (and More) https://jazzcollector.com/blue-note/jazz-vinyl-update-for-the-1000-bin-and-more/ For those who love jazz Sun, 14 Aug 2011 07:45:57 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.4 By: zarabeth47 https://jazzcollector.com/blue-note/jazz-vinyl-update-for-the-1000-bin-and-more/comment-page-1/#comment-170678 Sun, 14 Aug 2011 07:45:57 +0000 http://jazzcollector.com/?p=3783#comment-170678 This seller lists: “I am selling for a friend” and also that he (himself) is also bidding on the stuff! GREAT! It’s always good to read that the seller’s friend could just jump in there w/ a bid or 4 as well as the seller. Awesome! I’m in (NOT!)
So between his friend and him jumpin’ in – are the prices reflective? I would say no. Especially in this economy? NO! Is this legal? ABSOLUTELY NOT! A quick glance at final prices and bid percentages is a sure indication that this was going on! No diggin’ deep and making stretches or wasting valuable time. As a seller of fine vinyl on eBay my face turns red from this type of action and I want to report him but I know it’s just a waste of my time because eBay won’t do anything to him (and their gain.) That’s why I very rarely use auction format type sales. Just grade as well as you can and set good, “attainable resonable” prices. Some pieces have to have over the top prices as I would rather keep it than sell it cheap. BUT if someone wants to offer me a good price on a killer rare record I might just have to get a ri for a spell! But since the seller sets the price there is no shill bids involved and the buyer has agreed to the price. As the seller you just make damned sure you send out what you describe so conservative grading is a must but I’m famous for that! No guessing, I will never tell. Red

In two years I have bought over one hundred great records on Ebay auctions, that have given me enormous pleasure. Or for the same money I could have bought this one.

I am not faulting the buyer, its his free choice, I hope he gets as much pleasure. (But because I’m nosey I will be watching the feedback)
