No doubt this is true...

I confess to having done this with some titles I picked up as JRVGs and RVGs. Went back to the older TOCJs for some titles, mostly on an opportunistic basis. I've also been drinkin some of the Hoffman Koolaid, but I do try to keep things in perspective. I mainly try to determine what the wonks there have decided regarding best masterings for titles I have not yet purchased, then make my own decision about how much effort and $$ to expend on finding one of those. But jazz fans are a definite minority on SH, so much of the discussion is not relevant to my tastes- I have minimal interest in finding the "holy grail" non-TO, non-CDP, black triangle Harvest, 2-track, balls-to-the-wall 1st pressing 34 DP version of Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here and paying $125 for it, or reading a 7 page thread on which Monkees remasters sound the best....

I wore out at least 3 copies of the original vinyl, starting about when it was released and have had both the original CD and 1994 Virgin remaster. In my opinion, anyone who cares even a little bit about this album should seek out the 94 Virgin- it was a huge improvement over the original CD, which does not come close to the original vinyl. Sure the original recording was kind of "rustic" but that does not mean it sounded shitty. Bob Ludwig did a great job on the 94 Virgin- it predates the "loudness wars" and was allegedly focused on making the CD sound as close to the original vinyl as possible. I have not heard the new remaster, but like others here the reviews I've heard suggest that I don't need to be in any rush to get it.

bump, list updated

Sold, thanks!

The set is available via Amazon Marketplace, but I can certainly understand why you are looking elsewhere!

When I'm wearing a buyer's hat, I'd prefer not to wait too. Additionally when planning to bid, I have a vested interest in having the auction end ASAP with as few other people finding it as possible. So from a buyer's perspective, I can see how 7-day auctions would be preferable. But a 10-day auction has never and would never keep me from bidding on an item I really wanted. Just out of curiosity, would it keep you from bidding? And if so, why?

To each his/her own, lots of different theories on how to market. That is one thing that makes eBay so fascinating (to me). For a very inexpensive item, the extra 40 cents that it costs to list for 30% longer and let that many more eyes a chance to see the auction may not be worth it to some people. I suppose it also depends on your assumptions regarding how people find things on eBay and whether more people actually view your auction if it is up for longer. And if you add a bunch of bells and whistles to your auction (I never do) the cost for the extra time may be higher. But to me it is a no brainer to pay 40 cents for 30% longer run time, and the chance to have my auction run through two entire weekends (when most people surf eBay) rather than just one. To me, the use of an automatic sniping tool is another eBay "no brainer". I never monitor an auction end anymore, since I discovered the benefits of a sniping tool. But I think the majority of eBayers still do not use these tools, for whatever reason, so the start and end times still matter. I may be wrong about this, but that is my impression.

I've sold a lot of stuff on eBay over the years- stereo gear, mountain bikes, and lots of CDs. I agree with this. I generally also pay the small amount extra to run a 10-day auction and start it on a Thursday evening so as to end on Sunday night, as stated.
