No. That's just a case of an ignorant seller on ebay, not knowing what a DD is or the rarity of one is.

It has value over that of a run-of-the-mill DD. It is an electric recording era disc that's fairly close to the end of the line. I don't know how rare this title really is. A copy brought $1,227 on eBay in 2012. It was the only past sale I could find.

Gee, an electric DD with Gershwin on both sides ?
That should be of interest to music lovers, but the price does seem stratoshperic.

This. I think the asking price is a bit high, but not unreasonably so given condition. These late DDs and BAs weren't pressed in very big quantities as sales of them were sagging by then.FloridaClay wrote:It has value over that of a run-of-the-mill DD.

A friend of mine bought that record on Ebay last summer for about $125 I think, but I can't find it on Ebay. $750 is way over priced, but if you want it badly right now, that's what you might have to pay.

Ebay is designed for people who stay at home wearing pajamas and slippers all day. If they want something they will pay whatever they feel the value is.
