wolff Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 Looks just like the Classic Records reissue.... 2K with 2 days left. Quote
Aggie87 Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 (edited) Is that Lon ("Chazzbo" ) that bid $205??? edit - and I don't understand something...why was the first guy upping his bid against himself? And why does bidding jump from $500 to $2000 in one step?? Am I missing something? Edited March 11, 2005 by Aggie87 Quote
Daniel A Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 ...why was the first guy upping his bid against himself? And why does bidding jump from $500 to $2000 in one step?? Am I missing something? Yes! Quote

And why does bidding jump from $500 to $2000 in one step?? Am I missing something? Probably the first guy was just curious about the amount of the reserve Quote
David Ayers Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 If it's worth that much I might sell one of my spare copies... Quote
jazzbo Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 No, it's not "jazzbo" bidding on this. Won't say I'm HAPPY with the Connoisseur, but I'm holding steady with it for now! Quote
porcy62 Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 At that price I start to think that counterfeiter could be the job of the future. Is vinyl counterfeiting a federal crime? Quote
Parkertown Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 (edited) Are we sure this is an original? That font on the address on the record label looks like a font I've seen on Japanese Blue Note reissues... Anyone? Buehler? But I could be wrong, as I'm only just learning about BN vinyl...

Dan Gould Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 Is that Lon ("Chazzbo" ) that bid $205??? edit - and I don't understand something...why was the first guy upping his bid against himself? And why does bidding jump from $500 to $2000 in one step?? Am I missing something? Yes ... in a reserve auction, bidders often bid "against" themselves because they're trying to determine what the reserve is. Same way, if someone bid $500 and then another bid $2000, which happened to be the reserve, that's where the price "jumps" to. Had the reserve been $2000.01, then the bid would have only been at an increment over $500. That's a problem with ebay's system: it seems to me, in reserve auctions, bids should show at the maximum bid, up to the reserve. If I bid $500, and someone else bids $750, and the reserve is $800, why should the "high" bid be $505? It should be $750, and "Reserve Not Met" and now you know that the reserve is up there, somewhere above $750. Beyond the reserve, than the usual bid display rules should apply. Quote

JohnS Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 My King vinyl is pretty neat. I'll stick with that. Quote
desertblues Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 This seller lists many rare lps with very high reserves, but in exceptional condition-lots of oop Mosaics too (also priced at the high end). Quote
Claude Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 (edited) Even if it's not an original, the winning bidder doesn't have to care about money anyway: Current and recent auctions bid on by gorogorodake8 Edited March 11, 2005 by Claude Quote
Bill Fenohr Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 PT Barnum was right, there's a sucker born every minute. Quote
sidewinder Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 Total, unmitigated lunacy. JohnS and Wolff are right. Go with the King or the Classic Records reissue. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 Can someone explain to me these two statements: "The fidelity is superb,with no intrusive distortion, pops, clicks,or background noise of any kind." and "This copy is unplayed!" Not even that great of a date in my book. I do know that Tome Evered once told us that Jutta's records have always sold well in Japan. Quote
porcy62 Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 (edited) There isn't any smilies to express this! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WDVW Edited March 14, 2005 by porcy62 Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 yikes! i don't think the entire state of Utah sold for that! Quote
Bill Fenohr Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 So now what? Is this guy going to just sit and stare at his $5000 lp every night. He cant play it, less he have some sort of mishap that produces a defect in the vinyl. What a waste of time and money. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 It's hero worship of Blue Note and object worship of the record itself. It's disgusting. Shame on ME. Quote
RDK Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 Well, it's a collectible. You can't just go to the store to buy one of these - though you can get a "copy" for much cheaper. You don't think Bird's sax (at the recent auction or whatever) is really worth $250,000 (or whatever)? You can buy a sax to play for much less... Quote
Bill Fenohr Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 Ray, The Bird sax is a different story. Parker touched and played that horn (and probably pawned it a few times). The Hipp side is just another lp no matter how good shape its in. I could understand if it was that test pressing of Chico Hamilton's South Pcific with Dolphy, which may be the only one in existence. I would guess that years from now when this guy, as they say, "moves to Vermont", his family will take the lp to a dealer and tell him that dad paid five grand for it and the dealer will say "cool, ill give you $20 for it".
