porcy62 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Dryden Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

clifford_thornton Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 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.

Weird because i've had some good experiences with Mion Berlin. They were selling Japanese vinyl for pretty reasonable prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdavenport Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago (edited) If you sort his inventory from lowest first, I counted 17 copies of Earl Klugh's "Finger Painting" and 11 copies of Stanley Jordan's "Magic Touch" in the first 100 listings. Anyway, I think those $1000+ listings are some pricing glitch, deliberate or otherwise.. There's no way he doesn't know the market prices of Japanese Blue Notes Edited 7 hours ago by rdavenport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjazzg Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!
