Yeah… that’s super f’ed up.

I would expect that it would go as a second-chance offer to the next bidder, who may or may not buy it. Seems like a waste of time and money to do what this seller has done.

The auction ended at $6410.22. Not sure if the seller actually sold it based on the London Jazz Collector’s assertion (2***b was the winner).

These guys selling the Mobley in question seem to have a constant supply of Blue Notes , week in week out.

I noticed that but was thinking it was a bidding war between two nutjobs.

I’m gobsmacked at a 1568 topping $6K. That’s just absurd.

This 1588 looks like a first pressing to me, am I missing something?

The LP and cover condition is driving the bidding war here. I suppose this is still considered a 1st pressing, though not the earliest first pressing based on the NYC labels. Is it a transitional first pressing from a label standpoint?
