clifford_thornton Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 Well, at least the labels are okay! Quote
etherbored Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 I bought one record from this nimrod--a Prestige Hank Mobley that he said was NM/VG+. This was several years ago and I paid him $202 for the record. The jacket was pretty nice, a solid VG+, NOT NM and the record was in beat-minus condtion with TWO skips and hideous surface noise. I asked for my money back and he told me to "pound sand" and said I was probably going to pull "the old switcheroo" and send him my beat copy and keep his nice one. I left negative feedback with 20 seconds to spare and I have NEVER EVER even looked at one of his auctions. so he whacked you for $202.00? unbelievable. i'm sorry, but i just can't spend that much without the safety net of a guarantee or escrow. i think it's pretty low for someone to do that to a jazz lover... -e- Quote
etherbored Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 here's a valid question: what effect does/will ebay madness have on goldmine's values? -e- Quote

sidewinder Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 $1,901 Dizzy Reece Progress Report Great session but total lunacy. Think of all the Jasmine reissues of this one you can buy for this money ! (about 200 ). Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 here's a valid question: what effect does/will ebay madness have on goldmine's values? -e- I think the last Goldmine price guide reflected this somewhat. IIRC, some of the Trane Impulses were listed at $100 for a NM original! Quote
Chas Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 I notice that on the high value records ( over $200 ) only the winning bidder's ID is now displayed . Why shouldn't we expect this new Ebay policy of concealing all the other bidders' identities to lead to an increase in shill bidding , especially given that Ebay benefits financially from such fraud ? Quote
michel1969 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 Of course.... we already have the "hidden" feedback (a scammer's facility), now the concealed ebayer's ID (another scammer's facility). I don't think we are going in the right direction. Quote
ajf67 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 It seems like every change at EBay is better for Ebay than it is for the user. Quote
porcy62 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 Actually, it's not by chance that some of the record's best dealers are managing to built their own websites off eBay. Quote

A friendly relationship and set sale (even if prices are high) that's what we expect from a site. If you know some, would you share them with us ? Quote

Ron does SO well on the high-end stuff on ebay I really think he'd be taking a step backwards profit-wise by selling direct. He hasn't had a "list" in over a year, so maybe he's going to make the next one an on-line only list? Haven't heard about Jeff's website in a while. Is he really working on a "shopping cart" type site? Quote

Nice records, but he has to improve his website, I think. The best user's friendly option I found on record's dealers website is downloadable lists as Excel or Word file, I prefer Excel. Quote

Minimum bid of $20 for a Prestige twofer?! Minimum bid $200 for a Japanese BYG?! Thats often the problem with off ebay auctions and set sales. The stuff is not the most interesting and prices for that are too high. Because, even those dealers put the top records on ebay (at least for now). I think it would be interesting to have a set sale even with high prices, if it is for real top records. Maybe its a dream. Regarding Jeff Barr, i have bought quite a lot from him and always been satisfied. Anyway when Ebay really started in 98-99, i think many dealers like him actually lost customers. Now that many of us are fed up with ebay policy, maybe it would be interesting to go back to the good old seller, but through an online shop. Quote

Ron and Jeff are nice persons, surely the best I found in my history of jazz record's collector. Online shop is a good idea, tough I wasn't particularly dissatisfied with the good old private auctions on paper. It helped to stop my compulsory habit of shopping or bidding online in the middle of the night after too many single malt's glasses. Edited January 24, 2007 by porcy62 Quote
