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?

Okay !! he just buy cardboard to recycle. Now i see.

Seriously , this guy bids on and wins EVERYTHING of interest in Jazz recording. He must have 5 samples of every record :excited: !! last second sniper, of course...I can't count how many times he has outbidded me :lol: !! I praise him for all the money he makes me save !! :rolleyes:

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.
