Yes : that's what i say : after a brutal take off, those NM "heavies" have found their cruse altitude on Ebay : between 1000 and 1500 $. Of course its very high price, but I think they will not reach 2000 $ like in previous auctions. Anyway, the two have been purcahsed by a japanese dealer... You can imagine the resell price....
Roundagain, the seller, is a very honest, reliable seller and a nice person. He deserves his success.
yes they (japanese dealers) are searching for rare records all the time for which private collectors are willing to pay a high price for. very often they fix the price before the record is even bought. as these collectors have no time for searching on ebay and even no time for hustling through all the processes at ebay but have good money, they commission record dealers to do that.
