What a difference a death makes! This weeks exemplifies all that is seedy and evil about our business. Hell, it exemplies all that is flawed about humanity, seedy about auctions, and evil about capitalism, and the adage that "something is worth whatever someone will pay for it". (Note: the sale date in the graph is inncorrect, with the correct sale date being 12/13). One day after Ike Turner passed away, the Sue "Kings" LP shot up over $5k, where it normally sells for under $300. This was not exploitation on the part of the seller, who had listed the record on a full seven day auction. I stress in this article that "Kings Of Rhythm" is not so rare it deserves, or will maintain, a $5000 price tag.
Next, a Northern Soul 45 from Yvonne Vernee sold on a buy-it-now for $3k. In the #3 spot, the Frank Ifield & Beatles LP with the rare cover sold for halfway past the $2k range. Another Northern Soul 45 by The Soul Set sold past $1.5k. And last, another one of those colored Columbian Queen LPs sold for $1.5k.
