Guest in town Mikey Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 I saw an issue of this on an auction last week, with a day to go, well above the £200 mark. Has this suddenly become hard to get? When I first started looking at ebay, it seemed it was on there every day going for $50-$60. Now its on an auction and attracting serious money. What in your opinion would be the going rate on a set sale? Mike
Sweeney Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Maybe it's one of those RCA records that's much harder on issue than demo? I sold a demo on E-bay last year for £110 and there was no shortage of bidders indicating that it's one of those records that people want. I agree, it's a relatively common record, but when did that ever stop people on the rare soul scene paying silly money?
Paul McKay Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Definitely harder on an issue Mikey. See you Thursday

Mike Eddie Hubbard & meself bought a copy from Soul bowl around 80 / 81 for £3 each, He sent of for them together............. when they arrived there was a demo & an issue................. guess whitch one i ended up with :angry:
Guest Baz Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Seems every thing on RCA is harder on issue or is it just the fact that there are a fair amount of RCA issue collectors? i know of a few, so if your after one for your collection thats mint, depents what you would want to pay, come to the same again it only takes two people to put the price up........even if one is the auctioner/friend

Guest in town Mikey Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 (edited) "Carpet bagger"comes to mind............. no class these funksters hey Ken? Edited March 13, 2006 by in town Mikey
Guest James Trouble Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 "Carpet bagger"comes to mind............. CARPET-BAGGER, a political slang term for a person who stands as a candidate for election in a locality in which he is a stranger. It is particularly used of such a candidate sent down by the central party organization. The term was first used in the western states of America of speculative bankers who were said to have started business with no other property than what they could carry in a carpet-bag, and absconded when they failed, The term became of general use in American politics in the reconstruction period after the Civil War, as a term of contempt for the northern political adventurers in the South who, by the help of the negro vote, gained control of the- administration. Why would that be relevent to my post?

Guest James Trouble Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Cause it dont mean the same this side of the pond does it?,thought it meant "buying cheap" selling high,asset stripping and other such dubious practises/transactions,but i am un-educated... Buying cheap and selling high is a 'dubious practice' is it? I call it being smart, which is alot better than acting like the village idiot.

Good job I'm not going to Prestatyn me thinks Did I misread this thread, I didn't think you were setting up a sale? Sorry, my spare copy is no longer for sale, because it offends Ken and Mikey that I would sell a record for profit. Edited March 13, 2006 by James Trouble
