Foolish People: clueless ebay record sellers

[Outside_Lookin_in]

I finally set up a turntable about 3 weeks ago.

M- label, M- vinyl:

Maybe the vinyl was m- until he put his fingerprints all over it

Ironically, I've been after a pristine copy of this record for years. Seems impossible to find in anything better than vg+.

I doubt this overpriced one is in m- either.

I doubt anything on Jamie is worth $1,200...

"a killer find that will not last"

Damn, he doesn't ship to Australia; and I was going to "buy it now".

 

[Heitkotter77]

That is the correct spelling according to the discography rather than what is on the label.

What discography is that? On the internet I presume, and we knew that everything we see on the internet is right.
If the seller really wanted to let us know how rare this is, they should have added "so rare it's not in TBM".

Well everything on ebay is 'rare'... even when there are a dozen listed, don't nobody here know nothing? I had more trouble tracking down the fairly recent Oxford American magazine with the Howling Wolf cover feature than any half-way well known '60s label 45.

Looks like he's gotten a clue...sort of. Starting bid is now $200 - there's still likely one zero too many on there.

Here is one for the ages:

Company sleeve adds about $2,375 to the value.

 

[bluegg67]

I'll sell mine for half the price!

 

[Frantic]

well the Monkees covered it. :oops:

Here is yet another copy of the 2014 Atlantics reissue selling for $115 when it can still be bought new for $20. This seller clearly explains what it is. You certainly can't accuse record collectors of being rational.

There's only 5 known copies of that box, but in vg minus I doubt if it will go much higher than $8.99
