Chuck Berry Bargains on eBay

I haven't had time to report here on Chuck Berry-related eBay offers, so you may have missed some true bargains sold lately.
Probably the most interesting item which went for a much too low price was

• CHESS EP 5119 Rock And Roll Music with picture sleeve which sold for - hold your breath - less than $8!!!

OK, you may have missed it because this offer wasn't visible on eBay US. But what about last week's sale of

• CHESS EP 5118 and CHESS EP 5121 which sold for $16? Together! Though without sleeves.
• or the very rare NBC Radio Special from 1980, which contains Berry interviews never published anywhere else? It was offered for $20 and did not find a buyer!

They often sell very interesting items on eBay at low prices, simply because only very few are interested in them. But the contrary is happening on eBay as well. This one is rare, but I had not expected such a high price:

• the Japanese CD version of Concerto in B. Goode sold for $66!

Compare this to the best Chuck Berry CD set ever, which you could have got for less:

• the mega-rare and Must-Have Charly CD set Poet of Rock'n'Roll went for as low as $56!

You don't want to miss such, do you? Due to this I compiled a list of items currently on sale at eBay. You can click on the items to go directly to the corresponding eBay page. In case you bid: Good Luck!

Some true rarities:

• the bootleg variant of CHESS 1700, that is the one having County Line on the flip side, is on sale for multiple weeks and obviously not found.
• judging from the item photo, this copy of Berry's very first 78rpm record is simply beautiful!
• this Funckler EP is very seldom seen. But at $100 asking price, Brandnew Berry Blockbusters is not really a bargain.
• the asking price for this may be high, but Beautiful Delilah on London is not seen very often
• here's the rare cassette version of Bio with its unique cover, and still sealed.
• don't trust them when they shout MEGA-RARE - but this here is it! The Japanese-only, promotional-only single containing two songs from the Tokyo Sessions album. $100 is cheap for this!

Some more promotional records:

• Chess 1709 - the record the company could not spell.
• Chess 1683 Sweet Little Sixteen - cheap but damaged
• a PR copy of the Bio album
• From St. Louie to Frisco to Memphis, a Mercury promo
• this Chess sampler is from 1970 and contains Tulane

Some beautiful picture sleeves (PS):

• You don't want to pay $50 for My Ding-A-Ling? But look at this cover!
• again My Ding-A-Ling, cheaper and with its Dutch PS
• and while we're at it, here's the German PS which can be found often
• the picture sleeve for Club Nitty Gritty is much harder to find
• the French Chess series has nice concert photos, here's Nadine
• and you will really like this Italian PS!

Some more picture sleeves, from the Dutch Funckler series:

• the prettiest Roll Over Beethoven, but beware of the sticker
• here's Fraulein, available only in Europe
• Song series #10: No Particular Place to Go
• this is Let It Rock
• finally Little Marie on Dutch Chess

Some foreign country albums:

• an Argentina-only album
• this French-only 6-LP set was sold in supermarkets for little money. Today it's hard to find.
• here's a Japanese-only LP
• again Japan-only, this Rolling Stones LP is very Berry-related
• the Japanese version of on CHESS/Victor
• or the same album on red vinyl on Oriental

Some collectibles:

• a concert programme on Berry's first performance in France on Feb. 7th, 1965
• Chuck Berry is King - well, at least on this French playing card
• another, less interesting board game card
• here's the famous RCF amplifier Chuck B.

Some autographed guitars (which I do not count as bargains):
