Micro, I'm not talking about the rarer and more sought after pieces...like your examples.
Instead I'm talking about this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MFSL-UDCD-5...=&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
The guy is IMHO on a different planet with his pricing! Look at his feedback as well, seems like he sells a lot of stuff, BUT look closer and it's the same buyer's over and over!
or this guy's stuff:http://www.ebay.com/itm/STING-Nothi...150250635143?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item22fba2bf87
and there are many others, just check the sold section. ( and see what is NOT sold).
Like I said, there are a lot of jokers hawking some of the least desirable MFSL titles for just crazy prices...over and over they post and with no result ( ok, i guess once in a blue moon, some poor sucker bites, but come on!). Maybe I'm wrong about this, BUT IMO these guys need to get a clue.
21 hrs to go and price is at $412. Can it beat $600?

No problem. Play track 2 first. It's such a pure recording that I play it with the preamp gain at max; seriously.
Eh, I don't know if I'll try full out max on my pre. Not even half way up on Yim Hok Man's "Poet of Chinese Drums" makes it seem as if my walls will crumble to the floor at any given moment. I can't help but blink in fear myself, even though I know what's coming, some of the impact is so fast and authoritative with that selection. I will take you up on starting out with song two though. Thanks again. Looking forward to it.

Keep in mind it's also a low-volume recording, so I think you will find yourself cranking it up much higher... Let us know...
ansermet The Royal Ballet, nm went for $2,727.00 shaded dog original. I'm happy with my $255.00 Classic records reissue...

Funny thing though is that everyone that I know -- and that's quite a few -- that have a copy of The Royal Ballet, all have a swooshing side for part of side 1.
So it appears that RCA released a defective pressing.
Who has this record and are they worth the $300.00 going rate ? (Flamenco Fever) Inquiring ears want to know....
its worth $300 since they seem to fetch $500+ on ebay. i had serveral copies back in the day, it was regarded then as the best of the M&K next to For Duke and one of the top D2Ds for sound. It's Gitano Flamenco music, lots of foot stomps, gypsy chanting and of course the flamenco guitar. it was recorded at a club in LA in the late seventies. the mics must have been rignt at the wood stage as the foot stomps will challenge the tracking ability of your cartridge and the excusion limits of your woofers.
it has good trade value with some dealers. you could always rip a hires file for your collection and then trade it for a record you really want.
Thanks for your input Rob. Let's see how much I am willing to pay. There are a few auctions coming up.
I do. Very, very good sonics, one of the most ridiculous album covers (love his smile), there are better performances out there. $500 dollars already? Wow.
The first time I heard this LP was also the first time I heard the Infinity RS 1B and a Krell amp. This was well over 25 years ago and I still remember it. I could have sworn people were stomping around the room I was listening in it sounded so real.
i had a couple long ago but i sold them. sonically truly one of the most fantastic i've ever heard but not my cup of tea. i felt i wouldn't be playing this once a year even then. the guitars, foot stomping and high pitch singing all combine for the authenticity of flamenco music but i guess i'd much rather listen to flamenco guitars only like carlos montoya. the price of this is indeed worth its money, first if you like this kind of music, and second, the value of this just keeps going up through the years.

Full disclosure, one of the FF's on ebay now is mine. I bought it new, and played it once. It is a stupid record. I'm in the process of eliminating some of these 'audiophile spectaculars' that are not musically interesting to me. And i'm not posting this to encourage you to buy it. I am selling it precisely because it has little redeeming musical merit - and want to get full retail. Which is why i didn't offer it here first.
the potential for making $500 on dreck like FF is tempting, but you couldnt have paid more than $20 way back then why not just keep it
then again i dont have a copy either for the same reason you'll do a lot better than i did, i let them go when they werent worth much.
Several reasons. I don't listen to it, it is dreck (I'm glad you know a little yiddish), third, I have a lot of records to move when I get stuff packed up to go to Austin and figure, I can fund other things for hi-fi. I have quite a few records of this type that I bought back in the day that are just not interesting to me musically, although they may be curiosities or audiophile 'spectaculars.' (I can't count how many of Harry's list i have, but got a lot of 'em, some I will keep).the potential for making $500 on dreck like FF is tempting, but you couldnt have paid more than $20 way back then why not just keep it
I also have a substantial collection of car books that are going on the block too, e.g. a pristine inscribed copy of Gerry Rousch's Daytona book - bad, tatty copies go for 300 or 400 bucks. I have a library of books of that type too. I'm pretty much done with Ferraris for a while, and the stuff is just going to sit on a shelf for who? I have a Lambo dealer sign in the garage, what the hell am I going to do with that? I dumped the Lambo back in 2008. And so on.
