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.

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.

One fetched $1227 in 2012 but one fetched $ 290 in 2015

That's an interesting price-averaging website!

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.
