Leeway Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 Finally, a bidding war goes in my favor. An LP I sold that usually goes for $50, went for $142. Ok, let's have the gory details, or at least a link Quote
wolff Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 (edited) Los Lobos KIKO First time eBayer won it. A big concern, but we've exchanged e-mails and all looks good. I recommended e-snipe so she will not have to bid 15 times, next time. About a month ago I sold Aaron Neville: Warm Your Heart UK LP to a fellow in China for $112. I knew this one would go for what it did., but still.... Edited December 11, 2004 by wolff Quote
Leeway Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 I wonder if it is meant for a Christmas present? A lot of people jump onto Ebay at this time of the year in order to get a gift for someone else. Quote

Yep, she said it was a very important present for a friend. Hey, that was a good shot wasn't it At one time I was selling a lot of books on Ebay. I put up a railroad book, a memoir of a railroad line, it was signed by one of the authors. Probably a $45-50 book, but it ended up selling for $220. Turned out to be a Christmas present for a woman's dad, who worked on the railroad. I hope he liked it. I know I did Quote
wolff Posted December 14, 2004 Report Posted December 14, 2004 Nice copy of McLean's New Tradition. How crazy will it get? LINK Quote

Leeway Posted December 16, 2004 Report Posted December 16, 2004 Need some jazz LP's? A 'Buy It Now' of only $500,000.00 LINK I'm sure stacking the vinyl in a pile helps the value Even in the seller's photo, the stuff looks quite worn. How many warning flags does this send up? SORRY NO LIST OR SHIPPING AVAILABLE FOR THIS AUCTION. THERE IS NO VIEWING. THIS IS STRICTLY AN INFORMATIONAL LISTING ONLY. Ridiculous from start to finsih. Quote

Tom in RI Posted December 16, 2004 Report Posted December 16, 2004 The auction was essentially an add for upcoming auctions. This was included in the text: SORRY NO LIST OR SHIPPING AVAILABLE FOR THIS AUCTION. THERE IS NO VIEWING. THIS IS STRICTLY AN INFORMATIONAL LISTING ONLY. PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR ITEMS PICTURED IN THE AUCTION TO BE SOLD SEPERATELY. THEY WILL BE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. NO PAYPAL accepted for this auction. PAYMENT DUE IN 24 HOURS AFTER AUCTION END (YEAH RIGHT). I have seen this collection with my own two eyes, Nick is a friend of mine. Quite a bit of interesting stuff with a lot of European pressings.

brownie Posted December 24, 2004 Report Posted December 24, 2004 'True Blue' LP on EBay. $479 and five more days on the auction block... How high will it go? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4062379250&rd=1 Quote
brownie Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 Up to $1,180! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MEWA:IT Collecting BN originals is a VERY expensive business Quote
sidewinder Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 runsgood99 must have come into an inheritance ! Quote
Big Al Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 That is just nuts!!! I will never understand how people can shell out that kind of money for what is, in the grand scheme of things, just a record! I mean, that's more than some people's paychecks, fercryinoutloud!!!! Quote
sidewinder Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 'True Blue' in the original 47 W 63rd deep groove is becoming something of a 'holy grail'. Funny thing is, there always seems to be a steady stream of them up on ebay so it can't be that rare Quote
Leeway Posted December 31, 2004 Report Posted December 31, 2004 runsgood99 must have come into an inheritance ! He will soon be running THROUGH his inheritance at this rate. Quote
Z-Man Posted December 31, 2004 Report Posted December 31, 2004 runsgood99 seems to be one of those buyers with an unlimited supply of funds for LPs. I have lost countless auctions to him (or her). Now that I think about it, I have lost several to 6550c as well... Quote
wolff Posted December 31, 2004 Report Posted December 31, 2004 Now that I think about it, I have lost several to 6550c as well... Ha..Not lately...LMAO. Quote
couw Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 the sad thing is, this is not really that crazy... Rolf Kühn - Solarius Quote
porcy62 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 Up to $1,180! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MEWA:IT Collecting BN originals is a VERY expensive business Do you know a funny thing? The name of the seller, "Burl*one", in italian means "joker" or "clown", in fact "burlone" is a man who makes jokes and tricks ! Quote
brownie Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 Another 'True Blue' BN original went even further: $2,375,50 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MEWA:IT Quote
brownie Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 An autographed copy of Coltrane's 'My Favorite Things'. Starting bid is $1,500. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...6507530917&rd=1 Quote
Joe Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 (edited) On a slightly different note; received this message via the Avant-Garde Yahoo! group list this morning... Apparently two eBay sellers, "donaldbyrd" and "soulful-i", have been contracted by Evan Parker to sell off about 800 LPs this year from his vast collection. Some of these things are very rare, including a copy of "The Topography of the Lungs", the very first Incus Records release, for which the master tapes were lost or destroyed long ago: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4068999301&rd=1 ... and the rare Brotzmann/Van Hove/Bennink 3-LP box from FMP: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4069004811&rd=1 Many of these auctions end later today, so if you're interested, hop to it!
