I'm curious as to what type of great deals strutters have found on the bay. I'm sure those of you who've been on Ebay since the late 90's have better stories than the rest of us...I just recently got a mint/mint copy of Albert Ayler's love cry (mono, white label promo at that), for 15 bucks from a "buy it now" just a week or two ago. I'm sure some of y'all got stories that blow my score out the water, but it's still a steal to me... HOLLER!
Great Ebay scores

It's becoming really hard to find anything at a good price on ebay with the money being thrown around by the trifecta of ebay ballers in Italy, Japan, and France.
Even so, some great finds fall through the cracks....I remember Guzzo getting Headless Heroes recently on ebay for like 15 dollars or something.

theres been a few.... including the dude who decided to purge his collection when he turned to Christianity, got about 12 nice minty raers including the J-Rock and Powerule LP's for less than the price one of these LP's was selling for.
another decent one was the buy it now dude who sold off his 80's hip hop in batches, the Kane batch was four records for $20, including "ain't no half steppin REMIX" and "Get Into It"...
not amazing $1 finds - but cheap by eBay standards!

Anybody remember John Walker Lindh, the American Talibani? Well turns out dude was a hardcore hip hop kid who decided to rid all his music once he embraced allah. His brother took most of the collectoin and I stayed with him in seattle a few years back. His hip-hop collection was sick. tons of late 80's to mid 90's hip-hop that would make your face melt and then freeze on the ground.
LAKIM SHABAZZ LIKE WHAT!
"wait honey, i'll be right back... i'll be in the shower, listening to my geoge forman radio/coffee maker/grill ."

You knew his brother?!?! Have you ever spoken with him about his brother after he got thrown in jail?

I didn't know his brother, he was the room mate of the guy I was visiting. I didn't want to pry into it too much, just happened to be amazed at his collection and he then told me how he got it.
Well most people write off ebay because they can't buy S.O.U.L. or maceo parker "doing their own thing" for $20. Or they search for "funk 45" and get pissed that they don't get any deals. It doesn't work like that any more.
I spent a lot online this year and have been really happy. Been doing some freelance work... I probably won't be able to spend like this in 06. Average price of around $20. Mostly loads of $15 - $30 records seen elsewhere for many times the price, just quality stuff that would never turn up locally clean. Some nice surprises like
johnny zamot & his latinos on decca $10
chosen few - funky buttercup $7
willie & the bumblebees $3
boscoe $5
billy bang "sweet space" $3
hal singer "paris soul food" $10
etc...
Whoa. Nice. Was all this on eBay. I find a few nice lots every now and then but nothing major lately. Last good find was Big Willie Smith for 28 with another 12" that's not raer.theres been a few.... including the dude who decided to purge his collection when he turned to Christianity, got about 12 nice minty raers including the J-Rock and Powerule LP's for less than the price one of these LP's was selling for.
