Bo Diddley Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Just noticed this on eBay. Will it sell? How much would you value it at? How much would it cost to put together - even if you could find all the records? Must have taken a lifetime to put together. Interesting https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TAMLA-MOTOWN-COMPLETE-UK-45-RPMs-ISSUES-COLLECTION-EX-/290563743404?pt=UK_Records&hash=item43a6f2deac
Staceys Dad Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 as Carlsberg would say " probably the best thing ever on ebay"...awesome..
Concrete Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Awesome it is there's no denying that but does any one else feel its a bit soul less to buy it all at once, Sometimes the thrill of the hunt adds a greater appreciation of the vinyl.

Totally agree , Awesome collection (personally I don't collect British but still envious!) have often said if I won the lottery would it be the same when I find a £50 record for a £10 or would I bother even searching ? It must take the buzz away (Wouldn't mind finding out though!) Nice collection though and in great condition , I hope he does well Cheers Swifty
Blake H Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Wonder if this is the owner of Records + Relics in Blackpool? BH
Ian Dewhirst Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 If I was rich, I'd buy 'em in a second. I think anyone would be unlikely to amass a similar collection in that sort of condition again and it would probably take 20 years to pick 'em all up if you could. I do know of two more supposed complete collections so it'll be interesting to see what happens to these. Ian D

Phild Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 I think it's overpriced. I don't have all that he's got, but I have all Oriole, London, Fontana & TMG singles up to 899 (admittedly some are in only VG condition and a total of 6 of them have NOC), plus all LP's (both stereo & mono where they exist) up to TML12033 and I wouldn't value the whole lot at more than £10k tops. Not that I'd ever sell them Phil

Bo Diddley Posted May 17, 2011 Author Posted May 17, 2011 Looks like the seller is now listing items individually. Worth checking out. Also, if you were after a few 45's that aren't listed, it might be useful to send a message.
Guest Dave Turner Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) Looks like the seller is now listing items individually. Worth checking out. Also, if you were after a few 45's that aren't listed, it might be useful to send a message. I may be wrong but I would hazard a guess those are not a part of the complete collection. Anyone amassing a collection like that would obviously accumulate doubles as he upgrades. Obviously he also knows what is what with rarity etc and has no doubt picked up good deals along the way. Why would he get rid of the collectable stuff only to left with stuff he can't shift. To me it makes more sense to keep the collection as a whole, he can always come down on price should he wish. Edited to say - Sorry mate, just re-read your post and you don't suggest he's selling "the collection" individually, my error. Edited May 17, 2011 by Dave Turner
