http://www.goldminemag.com/features/double-mortgage-anyone-125000-lot-hits-our-market-watch-countdown why would those Philips LPs of David Oistrakh and Lev Oborin go for so much? Was that a freak eBay sale? That material was reissued as a nicely-packaged good-sounding CD set. The original sound quality wasn't knock your socks off, although it was typical Philips high quality. The performances remain highly rated by some critics. But, if a CD set is available, why are the original LPs worth thousands of dollars? Could this have been a Philips completist buyer who got in a bidding war? -- Tom Fine
