Hope I’m not lowering the tone, but got an OJC copy of Wardell vol. 1 today for £7 on LP and the music is great at that price too…

Ilya- i never purchased from him, but his feedback score is perfect and he has no negatives, i assume he is a store front with all the records he puts out in every auction, glad he now offers a refund if the buyer was not satisfied, at one point he would put NO REFUNDS on his auctions

Bill W., Bobdjukic certainly gets the prices but as far as respected… I haven’t seen much respect for him at least here. At best, feel more shady in the way people describe his attribution practices and hyperbolae.

Has anyone here ever purchased from him? I remember him sice early 2000s when I was still buying on Ebay but never bought as felt very uncomfortable with descriptions.

Bill- Bobdjukic has never play graded his records, and if you ask him to, his reply will be that ” he is way to busy with all the records he has,

Don – i see your point, looks like all my copies are the 2nd pressing covers

I certainly concur with Rudolf on this one Mark, 1595 may not be the proverbial “holy grail” in terms of rarity, but like an original first pressing of Blue Train it is definitely hard to find a copy in decent shape with all the original pressing attributes given how many variations have been pressed. At the end of the day, like Blue Trane, it is just one of those albums few collectors would ever part with because its so timeless. It took me quiet a long while to get an original pressing myself, and even a few decades later, I never grow tired of listening to it.

I just found out that Bobdjukic doesn’t play grade any of his lps. I was under the assumption that he did. To me, it’s kind of amazing that he’s as respected as he is and gets the great prices he gets without even giving an audio grade. Perhaps I’m just putting too much importance of audio grading when selling an lp?

Rudolf, yes I finally got a copy which I acquired back in June.

Fredrik, I concur. It is almost impossible to find a decent 1st pressing of 1595. As a matter of fact, I never succeeded. I had to settle for a very nice, authentic 1959 second pressing.
Have you got a first?

Aaron, I did not know that. Still, for frequently traded items in those 3 months it gives an indication of the market.
A 10 or 15 years old sale reported by Popsike is of little help to ascertain present day values. When consulting Popsike I look at the last 2 years only. The rest is history.

Rudolf – eBay “completed listings” only go back 90 days.
