Today on Ebay, February 11, 2009

Quite a few mid-tier items up early on eBay today, so I am up early to post them. Here are a few:

We’ve been talking a lot about Andy Warhol covers on the site. Here’s a chance to get one, perhaps at a bargain price because the seller didn’t realize that the cover is by Warhol: Count Basie, RCA 1112. This is not in great shape, but it’s only $1.99 and closing fairly soon. A few weeks ago, we recorded one of these in the Jazz Collector Price Guide for $161. 

The seller Tuneup Music has quite a large group of pretty nice records for sale this morning, including Blue Mitchell Big Six, Riverside 273. This is an original blue label pressing. The record is VG++ and the cover is VG+. The current price is $75. Also from this seller is a sealed copy of Larry Young, Into Something, Blue Note 84187. This is already at $125. The challenge with a sealed record is not knowing whether it’s an original label, so, personally, I’d be careful on this one. If you look at these records, you should click View Seller’s Other Items because there’s a lot more. 

Another seller with several decent items closing today is Funk-Plus, including this one: Horace Parlan, On the Spur of the Moment, Blue Note 4074. This is a West 63rd Street pressing. The record is VG+ and the cover is VG. The current price is about $75. 

Someone on the site asked about spotting bargains the other day. Here’s a nice record, not a high-end collectible, but a good, solid record that should be under $25: Charles McPherson, Bebop Revisited, Prestige 7359. This is an original blue label stereo pressing. The record is VG++ and the cover is VG. The current price is about $10.
