It was my question regarding the issue pf play grading for Mr. Djukic. He first said no, but changed his mind and granted me a play grade on this. As it should be, I mean you can’t just go on visual grading when it comes to records of this calibre and price. Nice touch by Mr. Djukic, after some presuading.

Myself, I hunt posters who can’t spell naive! …and I assume the next poster will be hunting ballbusters who have too much time on their hands.

The market is rarely wrong. Seems to me snake-oil salesmen survive because there is an appetite for snake-oil.
Myself, I am still hunting niaeve sellers who spell 767 Lexington as 161, spell Bluenote as one word, categorise “bop” as “pop” and have never heard of Popsike. In sort supply, really, but one day…

PrLp 7075: $ 542 vs. 192. One can say one thing about our friend: he has got a sales talk that is more effective than the serious descriptions of our friend Fred. If the guy earns his living honestly, apparently his clients are satisfied, so be it.

Regarding KOB – Not only Vinyls have problems there with speed. Even the old CDs were not running at the correct speed but they corrected that in the 90s…

Ah… Kind Of Blue. When I read in the booklet of the Legacy CD reissue that on all the previous LP pressings two or three tracks, I don’t have the CD booklet in handy now, were out of tune due to a too fast (or was it too slow) running tape machine, I thought to myself: Wow… There’s an awful lot of Kind Of Blue vinyls out there, all with the same defect in it!

I cant stand the guys auctions personally… they give me a headache with all the font and color changes, and I find his rating/descriptions to be over the top. God knows who is paying him such high prices and why… here is another eBay seller appropriately called basketcase who clearly over prices things relative to the market but does not seem to be very successful.

@BigBear: I wouldn’t call anything with a seam split VG+; that’s VG at best in my book. Am I unusual in this?

I always find it a little interesting that every record he sells comes from his “personal collection”. He must store his collection in a Warehouse the size of a football field.
