Clara Hardy - I Dream of You - Tuna

Prices back up it seems........

There was a glut of these a couple of years back and the prices dropped right down I recall.......low as £100 - £150. Someone predicted that prices would go up again after a while....looks like they may have been correct!!!

One went for £425 quid on eBay last night....or is that a flash in the pan perhaps?

I was watching this on Ebay out of interest to see what it went for, £400+ :ohmy: , glad I got mine of that college seller for about £90 from a couple of years back. When I looked yesterday there was also a VG- copy on there at $9.99 with no bids, be interesting to see what that goes for, might be abit more realistic price. If not and that goes for a few hundred, i may have to auction mine through John Manship :g::lol: .

Take a look at the bids.

It rises to about £200 but finishes at double that due to 2 bidders with relatively low ratings.

Dodgy or 2 competitive, keen, new collectors?

I've always thought this was a dull repetitive record which is further spoilt by an awful twangy guitar bit.

Also brings out the worst in me from the point of view that it was sought after before the find when it went for 2K = everyone wants it; then dropped to £100 = nobody wants it, now going back up = sought after again.

I appreciate that some people like it, and good on them for getting a copy if that's what they want. But surely you either like the record or you don't regardless of price?

the four tracks is back up in price too (not $4000 though).

whenever quantity of something comes out people get scared and the price drops signficantly. it takes a while of no copies being out there for demand to build back up again.

liking a record is not the only thing to consider though is it ?

there are records I like that I can afford and records I like that I can;t afford or can't get becuase they hardly ever turn up for sale.

I'm with you on that....I think it's rather forced and tuneless too!!! Raised the issue because of the massive price fluctuation over the years....personally it's not one I would ever seek out but as you say, some people like it.

yes - people always come out with the line " oh theyve turned up "

look at the betty lloyd - as an e.g ------ everyone had em for about 75-00 - not now

oxford knights / four tracks / danny moore / rev george morton/ joe valentine / athens rogues

even some lesser biggies were in Domars soul packs - boss four etc as a sweetner

think people see prices goin up a bit then think there loads better sell - which means more in market

so drives the idea that theres loads

would of liked a oxford knights - but i missed out on that

When the price dropped for Clara Hardy most predicted it wouldnt rise too much because of the find but it's a steadily popular tune which is proving to be a decent buy when they were around the 100 mark and the ones I saw were all shiny minty nice. I may be in the minority but I find it a very pleasant piece of soul music.

I like the track too. Even for people calling it garbage, the appeal of the tune to others should be clear in that it has the "rare detroit sound" in its production.
