sidewinder Posted April 27, 2007 Report Posted April 27, 2007 $4,500 for this Mobley Pretty sure that Hank Mobley never made that kind of money when he was playing! Looks to be in incredible condition. Lots of these 500 pressings have been coming out of the woodwork of late. We must be up to 499 already. Quote

Looks to be in incredible condition. Lots of these 500 pressings have been coming out of the woodwork of late. We must be up to 499 already. What makes that auction sad is that the record is a CLASSIC RECORDS mono reissue. In the original listing you could see the bottom of the back cover and the OBVIOUS small type at the bottom of the jacket that states the music was owned by Capitol, blah blah blah. I emailed the seller and told him he was sellling a record that could be had BRAND NEW for $30 and he CHANGED the picture and cropped the bottom of the jacket!! He also addes the BS "email from a collector" a the same time. I emailed ebay and warned them that this was a scam, but nothing happened. What a SCUMBAG!! Quote

The album looked too good to be a real one! I'm glad I can't afford to pay that much for one album Hope the buyer will take action! Quote

The best way to know of what pressing are we talking about, should be look for 'RVG' in the dead wax, but the seller obviously didn't mention it, I bet it has a 'BG'. And what pompous instructions about payment. Really a SCUMBAG!! BTW At Classic they should start to print something on the label inorder to prevent this kind of scam. It's not good publicity for them either. I think I'll mail it to Classic, just in case. Just done it! Edited April 27, 2007 by porcy62 Quote
ep1str0phy Posted April 27, 2007 Report Posted April 27, 2007 Wow, that "seller has an illness" thing is the bullshit of bullshits. That's bush league bullshit. So, so sad. Some of these after market antics make me really, really sick. Quote
Shannon Dickey Posted April 27, 2007 Report Posted April 27, 2007 Well........ I had a medical emergency a few years back, and NEEDED to sell some "rare" titles. The $$$ I made on those transactions cushioned thee astronomical Medical bill's. Healthcare, well, that's a whole kettle of fish.... Best, HB Quote
clifford_thornton Posted April 28, 2007 Report Posted April 28, 2007 So the Classic titles have a deep groove, or did he cop those images from somewhere else? Quote

brownie Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 Test pressing of Back to the Tracks on eBay! Wonder who is that seller from Stamford, Conn.! The seller also auctions a couple of other BN test pressings. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 I'm curious to see what it goes for. That shit gets under my skin! Do you think that the rabid BN collectors even care about things like this, without a certain address on the label or a certain photographer's cover design?! Quote
porcy62 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 What about it? I know Ron's records are perfect but...still 8 days to go http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1 Quote

The seller also auctions a couple of other BN test pressings. Those are Leonard Feather's advance copies. I can only imagine what this one will sell for--an advance pressing of something never released? At least a grand, I would think--perhaps much more? Quote
clifford_thornton Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 That seems more "worth" a grand than a lot of LPs. I would hope at least 2 grand! And as for Ron's LPs, why did a NM- 63rd St. of Us Three only get one bid? It's a nice little session. Quote

Allan Songer Posted May 1, 2007 Report Posted May 1, 2007 I won't buy via ebay from Ron--too expensive. But I have bought MANY from his lists over the years and never once felt I got less than advertised. Hell, for my birthday once Ron threw in for FREE a VG Mank Mobley 10"!! Of course, that was YEARS ago . . . Quote

I mailed it to Classic Record, because I thought it's harmful for their reputation too. They answered that they tried to contact the buyer through previous sellers, (you can't contact the buyer directly). I hope for him that all this will have a happy end, for free. Anyway, another serious contender for the eBay Hall of Shame, after Diego. Edited May 1, 2007 by porcy62 Quote

In the past i've tried many times to warn high bidders on a dubious or obvious scam. Especially Japanese buyers. They never respond. Only one time, i sent many mails warning a guy that he was bidding 400 on a Stereo ( ) True Blue, of course a scam. Eventually, he won it he send me a mail explaining that "he did not know". For this Mobley, i had doubts, but was in South East Asia for a trip, so forgot about it. Now i'm back, and see the confirmation of the scam... You can see anyway that THOSE "classic" deep groove do not look 100 % accurate... Quote

clifford_thornton Posted May 4, 2007 Report Posted May 4, 2007 That actually doesn't seem unreasonable. If there were only 25 made, and it's fair to assume fewer than that remain, well... Quote
