G45 Ebay Watch

Sunday sale: the Beau Havens "Elizabeth" on Gama, apparently a NOS copy rated VG+ visually and NM audibly, sold for $250.

On Monday, a (visual) NM copy of the Boy Blues' "Comin' Down To You", with PS (rated VG+ to VG++) sold at a Buy It Now price of $499.

Also on Monday: a VG+ Lyrics "They Can't Hurt Me" on Era for 411 GBP ($691 USD), and a VG/VG+ Fanatics "I Will Not Be Lonely" on Gina for 235 GBP ($395 USD). Looks like the same UK-based seller has a ton of other garage/psych records up, all with relatively high starting bids...thinning out a collection, maybe?

Another from Monday: The Prodigal "You've Got Me" on Mercury, in EX condition, for $193.50

Maybe he's raising money for the next round of Garage Greats.
 
Copies of the Blues Company's "Experiment in Color" apparently go for $200 now...and that's the Great Lakes pressing!

Suppose I should have gotten one a couple of years ago if I wanted one...

What happened to the Quests on Fenton? Audiofixation just got 1100+ for a NM copy - same condition as an ex-member was selling multiple copies in for less than 300 as recent as 2 yrs ago. Belated DJ-greed? Anomality at a high-profile auction? Summer heat taking its toll?
 
Audiofixation sold a VG+ copy, not NM.

I don't recall any ex-member selling copies. Maybe someone had two or three, hardly quantity by definition. I do recall the Shadows In The Night" '67 2nd issue with the weak ballad flipside offered (maybe less than 5) in recent years, not the '66 release with "I'm Tempted".
 
I bought three over the course of two years and know of 5 more being sold from the same source - all being the preferable press w/ "I'm Tempted" on the flip.
