Comments on: More Blue Notes For The $1,000 Bin https://jazzcollector.com/blue-note/more-blue-notes-for-the-1000-bin/ For those who love jazz Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:19:49 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Bethellodge https://jazzcollector.com/blue-note/more-blue-notes-for-the-1000-bin/comment-page-1/#comment-9394 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:19:49 +0000 http://jazzcollector.com/?p=1992#comment-9394 I’m curious about scarcity too. I mean, it seems that JC has logged a half dozen of so True Blues in the last year – all VG or better. Which makes me wonder how many are in worse condition, and how many are not being sold, and how many are buried in collections – like those I get word of here – that exceed the memory of their owners.

Is ebay distorting things – making the world so small that the ratio of existing copies to ones that turn up is very high?

Ultimately rarity is not the issue though is it? I have some private press novelties that surely didn’t print more than 500 copies. And of course they’re worthless, because nobody wants a family of gospel singers from South Western Ontario, or a high school band doing Simon and Garfunkel covers.

What I find staggering is that when these 4041’s come up each one sells for $1000+, even $1500+… who are these people? Who has that kind of money to spend on a single record?
