Did you spot that the seller selling the Jackie McLean has the Dolphy Debut 136 listed as a Buy It Now for $1499?
Personally, I’ve never spent more than £50 on an LP and rarely go above £25. I’d rather have more music on later pressings or reissues than break the bank for a rare first press, though even with that limit I have quite a few first press Blue Notes.
I guess the $1000+ collectors have more money than they know what to do with & those LPs may never even be played again,

I agree with Rudolf. Any chance you’ll be at WFMU this year?

Al: what I like about your current choice of records on EBay, is that they are affordable for the average collector. Away with false magic of 1000+ and back to basics and to common sense.
There are lots of great records for people who want to lay the basis for an interesting diversified collection from mainstream 40/50’s to the beginning of the New Thing (say early 60’s) and everything in between.
