JohnBlutarski Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 http://cgi.ebay.com/...d#ht_500wt_1156 All the Selects. An amazing deal, really at $33 per set. I have few completist collecting goals, but this is certainly one. I was excited about this until I saw that you have to buy the entire collection, not individual sets. Wish I had that amount of money right now..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Dick Wellstood is great, but I'm not sure if this new copy of an old Swingville album (Amazon link below) is worth more than $36,000! Or the $90,000 price from one re-seller! http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00005N81B/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&qid=1304780922&sr=8-5&condition=new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 How about $162.50 for Braxton's Willisau (Quartet) 1991?. Granted, I've never even seen it on Ebay before, but there was a copy on Amazon for $130 earlier today, which I thought was too much. Still now there's one for $149. I threw my hat in the bidding and thought I had a chance at $85! Wow. I got mine for $25 used not long after moving to Austin a few years ago. Seemed like a reasonable price at the time!

colinmce Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) I think half the problem is finding a copy. Some of those Hats can be ludicrously scarce, like the Jimmy Lyons titles. I guess the few who have them, keep them. edit: I mean Riffs and Push/Pull. I know Jump Up is more easily located.

The seller used a Buy-It-Now listing for $12. One time I snagged 3 OOP Mosaics for between $75 and $100 each through BIN. The guy was selling his late father's collection and didn't know any better. I just happened to be searching for sets right after he placed them up for auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoppy T. Frog Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 So I almost never buy off ebay anymore. I've been buying since 1998. The last two times I have been scammed for used CDs that are so esoteric (and not "collectible") that I wonder what is going on there. A few months ago I was scammed by someone selling used Mauricio Kagel CDs (what?!) and now apparently two Masaaki Suzuki Bach Cantata CDs. Both sellers had impeccable selling feedback. The most recent one I was informed by ebay that "the items were put up for sale by an unauthorized person" and that I should claim my money back from the Resolution Center. When I go to the Resolution Center, it tells me that I am too early to file for a claim. The email is 100% genuine, and I wnet to the website wihout clicking the link in the email. Meanwhile eBay's online "help" doesn't cover for such a situation, and their "customer Service" phone number has no humans on the other end. Has anyone else said "Fuck It, and You", to ebay recently?

colinmce Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Never had a problem like that. Mostly I'm just disillusioned by people's absurd expectations for Buy It Now items. When I find the same items up for auction I usually walk away with them handily for about 1/10th the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
