Comments on: New Ones For The Jazz Collector Price Guide https://jazzcollector.com/prestige/new-ones-for-the-jazz-collector-price-guide/ For those who love jazz Wed, 06 Jan 2010 20:32:58 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: brian https://jazzcollector.com/prestige/new-ones-for-the-jazz-collector-price-guide/comment-page-1/#comment-12745 Wed, 06 Jan 2010 20:32:58 +0000 http://jazzcollector.com/?p=2502#comment-12745 If you go to that sellers “Other Items”, click to format them for “Completed Items” and then arrange them in high price to low price order, it really is a breathtaking little tour you can take.

But when I see a Miles Davis Miles in the Sky go for near $200 in VG++ condition that is, at the same time, available in NM unmarked condition with a Buy It Now for $26 just three listings down, my curiosity is piqued. When I see the same few bidders bidding astronimical prices on records that are off the curve, my curiosity grows. Then when I see many of the same “rare” records being sold by the same seller in subsequent auctions I really start needing to know… what happened here? I wonder if I reached out to the number 2 bidder on the 70s Mobley reissue (who’s last bid was about $440), if he’d like my copy for $400, if he’d even reply.

I was fooled into spending big bucks from the explanations. How they explained the tarnish on rear jacket, the 1-10 scale of the ringwear. Also they have a genius discount system which makes people think they are getting a deal.
For awhile I just assumed that mint records still had various marks, until I won a mint record from another seller. I don’t mean to bash this guy, but I hope he has at least a dozen kids to put through college to justify all the exaggerations in his listings.

We’ve talked about this seller before and how he is able to get incredible, incredible prices — and how he is also able to get more page views than anyone else. If I could get $450 for my UA Blue Notes and Liberty’s I’d be ready to give up my day job.

$350+ for a second or third state reissue of Paul Chambers on Liberty —

What am I missing?

Thanks Al. Here’s a link for anyone who wants to see someone pay $700 for Dave Brubeck’s Time Out. Guess the guy who won this couldn’t get to the local salvation army bin where there is always a copy of this and was not interested in the 100 other copies for less than $25 on ebay. Ebay doesn’t let you see much on winning bidder’s info; but the winner seems to have bid up many other items in this sellers auctions to unparalleled prices.

Funny, I found that auction listing this morning and…

Don’t recall if you allow links here or not (if you don’t please don’t ban me, I will learn my lesson), but here is a nice article about Mr. DuNann —

I have a nice Hampton Hawes Contemporary mono on eBay now and it just got its first bid at $30.
