Russ Vickers Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I think someone just got a bargain ?. https://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Magnetics-Northern-Soul-45-Count-the-Days-When-Im-With-My-Baby-/110968469661?item=110968469661&lgeo=1&ViewItem=&autorefresh=true&vectorid=229466&nma=true&si=CVBVt2ExOttccZIFcb1oeLneJnA%3D&orig_Icvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Russ
boba Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 my $1100 bid didn't go through. that would be a bargain...
George G Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Bob, you've probably seen a few copies of this record? Seems to be for sale every few months. The record had plenty of looks and was listed in the right category and accurate description. I came in third. There's no record to my ears that's worth $3000 (I'm assuming that the high bidder had some head room). I'm not sure I'd want to pay $2K for a record but I figured on taking a shot. 3
boba Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Bob, you've probably seen a few copies of this record? Seems to be for sale every few months. where is it for sale every few months? i need to go there. the only copy I've seen of either in real life were johnny mckinney's personal copies
George G Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) where is it for sale every few months? i need to go there. the only copy I've seen of either in real life were johnny mckinney's personal copies Sorry, I should have said every six months or so. Two times here, two times on ebay (this being the second) in the past 12-13 months. The previous one on ebay was sold on consignment by a guy in Portland who's a total malt shop grandpa. All he could say was how much he could not understand why anyone would want it Edited October 31, 2012 by George G
Dave Pinch Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 one of my favorite 45s i would still like to own.. theres only the one showing on popsike from last year that was cheaper than this one but theres been has been others.. its been up for sale over here a few times also including a couple or 3 white demo`s....there was a beat up acetate on ebay the other week. definately a £2000 to £2500 record but not £4/5000 imvho but then again i still want one.. that acetate was more in my league tho
Russ Vickers Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 The acetate was destroyed tho wasnt it ???....just about good enough for the wall..., who would pay that for summat you cant even listen too.... Best Russ

Best Russ conservative grading would have given it a G+ still a one of a kind thing of course and nice to have.
Russ Vickers Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 I agree, nice one off item, however, I struggle to justify/afford that kinda money for minters, let alone trashed unplayable ones....lol Best Russ
Guest Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 definately a £2000 to £2500 record but not £4/5000 imvho but then again i still want one.. I'm genuinely surprised. I thought this was around £1000...maybe £1500 for the super tough WD. It used to be fairly available in the 90's at £500 and less...glued into collections now, maybe? 2
Fourmintsover Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 It was interesting how this seller stressed in his auctions that he could not guarantee his records to be originals or boots.
boba Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 It was interesting how this seller stressed in his auctions that he could not guarantee his records to be originals or boots. that's not exactly what he said. this is what he said. I don't think he was trying to trick people, it sounds like he doesn't know and he didn't want to make a specific claim. he answered people's questions precisely too. Reissues vs Originals: Unless I know for sure, I will not describe a record as a reissue or original. I will provide a clear closeup photo of the label along with everything written in the vinyl trailoff. Hopefully, if crucial for you, you will be able to make your own determination. Questions are always welcome.

Lenny Harkins Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 I'm genuinely surprised. I thought this was around £1000...maybe £1500 for the super tough WD. It used to be fairly available in the 90's at £500 and less...glued into collections now, maybe? Bang on Flynny, I bought mine for £300 early 90's punted it on for £1300 a few years back.... so not really a bargain at £1700, more of a fair deal , great double sider in spanking condition.
Derek Pearson Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 What a record definately in my Top 100. It's the sorta record that used to make me drive 100 miles in the driving rain and stop out after midnight in the vain hope of just hearing it. derek x 1

Bang on dave, can remember a short period in the mid 90t's where i saw half a dozen copies for sale from different sources in a couple of months, in the £400 - £600... probably not seen that many since then tho
