$760 for the Miles Davis Steamin!!! Is this a bad joke, I have two copies of this and the most I paid was about $60 for one and thats in the last 3-4 years..Ultimately the joke is on the buyer (caveat emptor).If people are stupid enough to pay that kind of $$ for this record it just proves how uninfomed they are, way too much money and no sense. Hell give me $150 for my two copies and I will give the $600 odd to charity. Global recession does not seem to have extended to record buying…

Rob,
Fly to New Zealand Business class, buy few Blue Note originals: Leeway, Undercurrent, etc. and get some change from Blue Note originals market price.
You are lucky !

I may be running a little against sentiment here, but I have all but given up with the OG NM sector. Great if you are a Far East Investor/ Collector with $2-4,000 to spend per record, fine, its a free country (for now), but the real-world market for me is affordable second pressings. They may have the wrong label, the “R” when it shouldn’t, be only VG+, whatever, but I am delighted to continue to find them at affordable prices, and they sound g r e a t.

Don’t have a problem with BobDj – at least he seems to have stuff to sell, and thats only for the good of the collector. Caveat Emptor as always, but I’m always on the lookout for good sounding records to play, not museum pieces.

Darn, that’s crazy. I should hand him my scratched copy of “Dexter blows hot and cool” and he surely will get 1k for it.
On the one hand it’s impressive to see his ability to sell 2nd pressings for high prices without actually lying and with his customers being satisfied. On the other it strikes me, because to a certain point it totally destroys the market in two ways. Less worth copies get more attention and fetch higher prices, while original copies tend to loose value at the same time. This is not actually happening, but in the long run…who knows?

no, there was never a vol. 2 of K.D. Jazz Prophets. There have been rumours way back in the vinyl age that a second volume was forthcoming. It never came, and the question is whether the masters really exist.

Well I think that something is phoney with some auctions. It could be that some sellers on eBay wants to raise the price level overall by using shilling (bidding by friends or relatives that don’t have to pay if they “win”). That way you will always get the max out of every buyer. The item can be offered as second chance to the second highest bidder if a friend wins or just claim that the buyer did not pay. Of course that can’t be overused but in some cases I’m sure it’s going on.

Well well the sad thing is that as soon as a record gets a very high price the sellers both on eBay and the local record store begin to get $-signs in their eyes and the prices go up and up and …..
