Paid $40 for mine about eight years ago.

This seems higher than usual:

Dolphy on Debut

Really 40 $ ? Even eight years ago, it is was a good deal. I 've always heard that this one was highly collectable among Euro jazz fans. I remember that Paris Jazz Corner had this one for sale on one of their auction. Don't know how high it went up...

If you want to see something REALLY REALLY REALLY RARE...

First copy i see on Ebay. En route to the Yen kingdom, of course (crisis ? what crisis ?)

The buyer (rainbow-mountain) won my NM George Wallington Cafe Bohemia on Progressive a few years ago for $700 USD.

He owns a paper mill in Japan, I believe?

Guesses on what this Lee Morgan will go for?

Don't know - but it is already going for way, way more than my copy, which has a far better condition sleeve and at least as good vinyl.

Same as me !! I paid mine (Lex, DG, flat) 150 fr in Nice, 1998. Oh those glorious days of ignorancy.... :w

Yeah, I have that on CD. It's real fine. Much rarer than any BN!

Rumors are that a copy of this one sold for 12000 $ years ago at Paris Jazz Corner. True or false i don't know. I've seen another copy auctionned at PJC in their 2002 catalogue. Don't know how much it solds eventuelly. But given the hysteria that was surrounding those auctions i believe it went up very high. My plan is to try to find it at my local flea market, for around 1 €. 2 or even 3 would still be a fine price.
