Stock Quantity On New Discoveries?

[Guest sigher the gutter snype]

when a new find, or stock of a certain tune is found do you think it is the buyers

right to be told how many were pressed originally and how much stock has been found

or equired??

i see at the moment everyone seems to have the modern soul 45

last generation "got to have a chance in life"

lots of various prices but most around £200 to £300

but if i pay that much money i want to know the details behind it.

ive found stock before and have been honest with punters and told them how many copies,

and also priced the record accordingly.

whats your boys thoughts, sometimes to many people can get stung into buying supposedly

rare records whilst not being told the owner had about 500

sure this questions been asked many times before?

Well if the dealer dont tell you,how you gonna know anyway ? it's a having to do your own research i think you ask on here i'm sure folks would maybe have a idea or not,or they'll say they know a chap who's knows a chap who was drinking with a chap who as a shed load of 'em,then buy it themselfs or they got a copy in 7ts for 2p.

ha ha ok cheers ken......think there is help in there somewhere!!

years ago when i brought at the record fairs and all them dealers were going to the states they

used to come back with lots of lp's

tons of magnums "fully loaded" on phoenix where found, also lyman woodard organisation "saturday night" on strata

the dealers sold them of £10 each, now they fetch £150 plus..

now days if it seems like some records are £300 odd when 100's have been found..

just a bit of honesty might be a bit better??

being honest won't get you anywhere because people won't believe you anyways. i had a few copies of a very very rare record and everyone talked behind my back and said i had quantity and it drove the price down. 4 years later no more copies turned up for sale, where were all my copies?

hi ya mate

yeah hear what you are saying, just a guessing game really

i did tell some people abou a record that sells for £200..

that the owner still has 800 copies at his house

yet it still sells for between £100 and £200

seems a little odd?

oh! well, we all just have to tread carefully i guess

When you consider the Royal Esquires - for over 20 years a very rare record - fetching over $1800 dollars on eBay it seemed like a good deal, as it was advertised by the seller as an ULTRA RARE item. Very soon we all learned the vast quantity the seller had - basically every copy pressed had come to the sellers possesion, making it about as rare as Spyder Turner.

As a seller, If I do find a few copies of something, then I'd just sell them as If it were the only one I had.

If I found 1000 copies of, say, Kell Osbourne on Highland, I would disclose it and price it accordingly, I certainly wouldn't advertise it as "ULTRA RARE, one of only 5" or somesuch.

Never swop established and proven long term rarities for a 'flavour of the month' type record. It can come back to haunt you...
