I agree with you though when I spot a nice old classic car or motorcycle in the traffic I am pleased someone saved it from the fog of times.

Old cars & motorcycles are great to look at, no doubt; but in general, they really aren't anywhere near as fun to drive as a modern car, especially those old American boats that cornered like a whale.

And don't get me going on those old Indian motorcycles with the suicide foot clutch, stick shift, left hand throttle advance & right hand spark advance. I don't know how my father ever drove those things.

Land yachts. Great for highway trips. Nightmares in town.

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue - $3,605.  Crazy.

It is funny to pay for a vintage LP with some tracks released at the wrong speed. Owning it is for bragging rights, not playing.

Well, it is Jazz Record Center. That explains it.

I don’t blame Fred Cohen for auctioning vintage LPs at ridiculous prices (to us) if collectors (especially in Japan) are willing to pay them.

oh, I agree -- the prices he gets are purely the bidders' responsibility. The starting bids usually aren't that high, and there is no reserve to meet. The market is the market. If I could sell LPs for the prices JRC gets, I would be doing the same thing.

Is this thread also for Discogs madness? What do you think of the pricing of this seller:

Their pricing seems very randomly chosen. Weird because i've had some good experiences with Mion Berlin. They were selling Japanese vinyl for pretty reasonable prices.

Me too. Mion Berlin was fine.

Mion UK do similar sometimes, never figured out why unless for some reason they don't want to sell them just at the moment and it's easier than de-listing.

Sounds correct though delisting is quite easy

I know a lot of you use Discogs., but I've never quite been a fan.

I was advised early on to screen the sellers on to only use ones with impeccable ratings and reviews.

That has proven to be very good advice!
