Well, at least on eBay one is protected by the eBay return guarantee, and if one pays via Paypal, their return policy as well is also in effect

I agree–I’ve bought several over the last year that were VG+ or VG rated but sound clips were included–so at least I knew the quality of the LP before I bid. Very helpful!

I wish sellers would start including audio clip samples in their postings, at least for the high value (high $$$) LPs. The technology is there … it’s been available for some years. If I am considering a $500 or greater LP, it would be nice to hear representative audio. VG++, VG+++, EX-, NM+ … groan.

Also, the Jutta Hipp auction says, ‘Looks VG+ but plays EX’. This seems to be a common Blue Note/vintage jazz myth. I suppose I have found it to be true on a handful of occasions but on many more occasions I have found vintage records to not play as good as they look due to groove wear. I personally avoid auctions with this type of description unless I really want the record.

In all fairness though the seller could be simply waiting for a new bidder to come along who didn’t notice the auction the first time around. 😉

Welp, that $60 discount on Peckin’ Time is sure to attract bidders. Someone has to be out there was like, ‘$1700? No way. Maybe $1640 but not $1700’. lol

The Sonny Clark, Cool Struttin’, Blue Note 1588 really had some conditions problems if you looked at the pics of the back of the album jacket – there was rectangular tape residue clearly apparent where the top seam had been repaired at one time. u-g-l-y!

At $60 increments, he might have to re-list that one 6 to 8 more times until he gets a peck.
