desertblues Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 DAMN! Those are high prices for some admittedly rare Blue Notes! I mean yeah, they are hard to find in near mint condition but I have some of those listed and I paid WAAAAAYYYYYY less (and not that long ago either). It's because so few were sold and fewer still have survived in nice condition. Quote
wolff Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 Quote from item description of an LP this guy is selling; ...record has a lot of surface scratches that have been smoothed over with a buffer..... E-bay, always good for a laugh. Quote
jazzhound Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 Mosaic Andrew Hill set went for a little over $100 bucks a few weeks ago which I thought was a little wierd. Quote

wolff Posted May 7, 2004 Report Posted May 7, 2004 (edited) Hill-Black Fire Seems like it was going for a third of this a short time ago. I guess I'll be keeping my Liberty pressing. Edited May 7, 2004 by wolff Quote
Dmitry Posted May 7, 2004 Report Posted May 7, 2004 Hill-Black Fire Seems like it was going for a third of this a short time ago. I guess I'll be keeping my Liberty pressing. That price is f@#$ing insane. It should go for maybe $100...150 mint- Quote
ajf67 Posted May 7, 2004 Report Posted May 7, 2004 Crazy. THis is WAAAY more than Hill Blue Notes have been going for. You're right, they are mostly in the $100-150 range. Nuts. Quote
brownie Posted May 7, 2004 Report Posted May 7, 2004 Crazy. Whattaya mean? This is great news! Hope the price will be even higher if I ever have to sell my copy. Mine looks just as good as the one which just sold. It's mono too. Quote
ajf67 Posted May 7, 2004 Report Posted May 7, 2004 (edited) Yes, yes. I see now. I can tell my girlfriend that all my records have been, uh, solid investments. Edited May 7, 2004 by ajf67 Quote
Peter A Posted May 7, 2004 Report Posted May 7, 2004 (edited) How about this one...$ 1.403 for "The Cats" by Flanagan c.s on New Jazz. This one used to sell for $ 150-200. The Cats Edited May 7, 2004 by Peter A Quote

The Cats $100 is the top price for this record in M- condition. $120 max. Why would anyone pay this kind of coin?! it's just stupid. Quote
wolff Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Serenade to a Soul Sister You can have my copy for $50. LMAO Quote
Dmitry Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Serenade to a Soul Sister You can have my copy for $50. LMAO Note on the seller - Atomic Records [out of LA, if I remember correctly]. They grossly misrepresented the condition of a pricey record I bought from them on eBay and I had a tough time getting a refund. It took a good month. Maybe I just wasn't lucky... Quote

I bought one item from him, but I forget what it was. I remember his grading being a bit too positive, but I took that into account when bidding. I knock most sellers grading down a notch just in case. Then when I get an actual mint record, that was graded as such, I'm pleasantly surprised. Quote
chuckyd4 Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 I bought from Atomic years ago (a Mosaic Mingus on Candid, IIRC), and they gave me a really hard time when I wanted to use an electronic check (this was in the days before Paypal was so widespread). The payment was fine, but due to some bank screwup it was delayed a day or two and they got really annoyed. Left a bad taste in my mouth, I remember. Quote
desertblues Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Another knock on Atomic: at one time I was bidding on and buying records from them regularly. A Jimmy Smith B.N. had a bad skip - they really got uptight and took way too long to refund it, even going so far as to "block" me from bidding on their auctions for a few days! Needless to say, they lost a good customer. Still, they do list some great records (with high reserves). Quote

Needless to say, they lost a good customer. Still, they do list some great records (with high reserves). I used to buy from Atomic, but I had a bad experience too. I bought a Turrentine LP from them; turned out it didn't have the original inner sleeve. You had to be a Philadelphia lawyer to scrutinize their description and figure that out (I do read the descriptions carefully, but they committed the sin of, er, "omission," so to speak. I wrote them a polite letter of complaint, they got really pissy and put me on their "banned" list. Kind of weird really. Must be a pretty big list by now! Their arrogance was really obvious in their communications. No great loss not dealing with them. There are more pleasant and forthright dealers to whom to give my money. Quote
wolff Posted June 6, 2004 Report Posted June 6, 2004 Jazz LP's This is partial list as he has already sold a bunch. Quote
wolff Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 Stick Up LMAO....What a dumb-ass. Last 2 mint copies I got off Ebay were each under $20. Quote
sidewinder Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 Stick Up LMAO....What a dumb-ass. Last 2 mint copies I got off Ebay were each under $20. Mine was £10 ! Quote
Leeway Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 Stick Up LMAO....What a dumb-ass. Last 2 mint copies I got off Ebay were each under $20. Some people can't control themselves in an auction setting. It becomes a matter to them of getting the object at any cost, or more precisely, not letting the other guy get it. The bidding is ego-driven. If you can your cool, you can often get the same item at a decent price; if not on one auction, then the next. Quote
wolff Posted June 19, 2004 Report Posted June 19, 2004 (edited) Bitches Brew Mosaic Still available new for $108. Seller says 'long out of print". Well, at least the reserve has not been met. Samr thing going on with the Blackhawk set. Are these more valuable used than new? Edited June 19, 2004 by wolff Quote
wolff Posted June 20, 2004 Report Posted June 20, 2004 $168.05 MILES DAVIS COMPLETE BLACKHAWK SESSIONS 6 LP's MOSAIC $108 $202.50 MILES DAVIS COMPLETE BITCHES BREW SESS. 6 LP's MOSAIC $108 $147.50 MILES DAVIS COMPLETE IN A SILENT WAY SESS. 5 LPs MOSAIC $90 Causes me pain to see this occur. Who wants to e-mail them and let him know the good news? Not me. I contacted the guy who won the Blackhawk, and he said 'thanks' and was trying to figure out how to retract his bid. I guess he did not figure it out in time. Quote
sidewinder Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 Meanwhile, there's a 'Miles & Gil' on there for a more than reasonable $275. Logic seems to have gone out of the window.. B) Quote
