Summer Slowdown in Jazz LP Prices?

I keep waiting for signs of a summer slowdown in pricing and keep getting mixed signals. The other day there was the Thelonious Monk record that sold for more than $3,000 and, a couple of days later, the heavy prices on the two Horace Silver LPs. No slowdown there. But yesterday, there were some signs that things are not as hot as usual. For instance, here are several albums from Atomic_records that failed to even meet the reserve prices:

 Benny Golson, Gone with Golson, New Jazz 8235. Top bid of $67.

 Sonny Stitt, Stitt’s Bits, Prestige 7133. Top bid of $89.99

 Jimmy Raney, A, Prestige 7089. Top bid of $51.

 Art Farmer Septet, Prestige 7031. Top bid of $62.5

 My advice, if you’re a buyer, is to look up earlier pricing on our Price Guides and underbid on some items – particularly if you use sniping software. This might be a time to find some eBay bargains.
