I have a trashed New York copy in a frame hanging above my desk. If it’s really worth $136, it’s coming out of the frame and heading right to eBay. Now!

It is listed 6 times from 2006 up to now – though some are 2nd pressings. One is even trashed – at least the seller tells that it has too many scratches to be played and the cover is heavily damaged – but it still went for 136 USD! I have seen several more copies on ebay – at least 5 or 6 over the last months. I watched carefully as this is a big favourite of mine – but it was always going for (too) big money. I think there are always seasons where a record has a special “hype” and the prices are very high – I am still optimistic to find a decent copy one day after the hype for an affordable price.

If the cover looks vg+ and is listed as near mint, it makes me wonder about the condition of the vinyl.

When a start price is too high, in many cases, the record does not sell at very high price… only one or two bidders. let’s see if this rule apply…

Regarding Sax Colossus, i think we will see another record for this one. I’ve bought some records from theis seller, and his item are always in fantastic factory fresh condition…Japanese are well aware of that…I think there are some millionnaires from the rising sun country now ready to set their E-snipe at very high level… By the way is it so rare ? Many good copies have surfaced in recent times. A way of measuring the REAL availability of a record would be to count the number of times its auctionned at Ebay, by years, on the five previous years…this would be possible with Popsike and jazzcollector.com…
