Supply and demand … if there are no further buyers of 1568 copies at $10K+, then the auction price will gradually deteriorate over time. Of course, those hapless sellers may hold on to their prize, hoping beyond hope that someday they will hook the big one. 🙂

Well it will show up on Popsike for sure and Stores/Sellers will get dollar signs in their eyes. We have an example in this post with an asking price of 14K…

Anyway there were 2 suckers that put in “silly” bids. The under bidder was perhaps also putting in an close out bid. These things happen in the ebay world – but I still hold my belief that the market price of 3-5K for 1568 has not really changed.

The thing that stinks is that the $12K Mobley 1568 will show up on Popsike or Collectors Frenzy as this weird anomaly. However, I’m unsure if these price trackers really capture what someone is willing to pay/should expect for a given LP at this point.

Mike C, I guess the buyer in UK regrets the “close out” bid…it was really too much and way above market price.

[…] was a surprise, not that it sold for more than $1,000, but that it sold for more than $1,500: Hank Mobley Quartet, Blue Note 5066. This was only in VG+ condition for the record and the cover, and when we looked at it yesterday […]

It appears that sale of the 11k Mobley was not a sale but rather a trade?

This is from the Vinyl House seller on another site

“As for the “Mobley” auction;The winner is from the UK and the Under bidder France. The winner placed a bid that would ensure a market close-out,we then took around 50 choice condition pieces in exchange.If he grants us permission we will do a story on our blog.”

That Blue Note pamphlet is really cool. I found one in an original copy of Lou Mecca, BN 5067 that i bought once.
