Dazdakin Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Off to see my bank manager............my opening sell will be " do the research mate, as with most investments your final resale value may go down as well as up....unless it's a minty Eddie Parker, in this case it will only ever increase in it's market value" ....FACT!!

Guest Seagrave Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Did I or did I not put one up for auction on here on someone's behalf maybe 4, 5 years ago and it didn't reach it's reserve of £4,500? So it's now worth more than double that is it? Some people may not like it, but the biggest dealers with the highest reputations (such as John Manship, Pat Brady, and Tim Brown) have the best web sites, best contacts and greatest exposure. Consequently they continue to regularly achieve prices which others cannot match. Probably better for any competitors not to give the impression of being jealous and resentful, but to positively advertise their own strengths and to work on their marketing. And besides, nothing wrong as a seller in providing a quality product at a cheaper price. Some people like to shop at Harrod's, others prefer Sainsbury's.

Guest Seagrave Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I don't think he was Seagrave. Fair enough. In which case the simple answer to his question is probably 'yes'.

Popular Post Steve Foran Posted January 25, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2013 Cant fully understand this. Yes top notch tune in lovely condition, BUT how many on SS own it? Rare yes BUT how many are known to exist.Must be maybe 25/30 in the UK. What would be the press run at the time 300,500? I dont know but when compared to FW or some of the Shrine stuff being discussed on here is it truly rare? I dont know all the answers as I am posing them. Maybe there are only a handful but common sense dictates to me that there are more about?? Bit like all the Frankie Beverleys Because of my heart suddenly coming up for sale. Has a batch on Rouser been found? Like Ted I cant understand the early bidding either. Deep breath, having said all that would love to go for it but not got the cash this month.Good luck to whoever prevails. 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Probably better for any competitors not to give the impression of being jealous and resentful Jealous? I was asking if the record is now worth more than double what it worth when I was asked to sell it. It wasn't mine anyway so why would I be jealous of whatever price this latest one makes? If I had one of my own and it sold for a low price, then I might be "jealous and resentful". For about 2 minutes. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Simsy Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 As always a record is worth what you are prepared to pay for it. Got to be 10k plus with that amount of time left? If only we had more dough eh soul source? 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dean Rudland Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I've seen this copy and like new doesn't even begin to describe it. I can't imagine that there are too many copies around in this condition. The mint copy on popsike had writing on the label, and an absolutely knackered copy went for a couple of thousand dollars.

Guest Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Rare yes BUT how many are known to exist.Must be maybe 25/30 in the UK. John Anderson is well documented as having once had a 'three-figure quantity' of this disc many moons ago. Think Paul Donnelly may have even seen them at the time...I'm sure he will confirm, should he read this thread. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Monkey Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I agree with Steve Foran regards this, and am a little puzzled as to why this has rocketing in value and cred since the 90s. I sold my copy back in the 90s for around 700, I think it actually hung around no buyers for a week or two. Regarding the rarity, there was a fantastic story published in Chris Fletcher's soul source by Gary Rushbrooke 'Detroit is Happening' which touched on this.

Jaco Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Doesn't get any better than this! In some respects the epitome of Northern. Regardless of how many known copies there are, this ought to command a big ticket all day long. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Len Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) don;t forget Manny has to deduct 20% vat from the eventual sold figure.. Wouldn’t it be 20% of his 20% commission only? I think that's right, but correct me if I'm wrong. Whichever, the seller will lose 20% of the sale to commission - If the vat paid was 20% of the sold figure, the seller would be losing 40% after the commision, so that can't be right. All the best, Len P.s - Makes me really think about parting with my copy though, as I have a Corporation Tax Bill I can't afford coming my way....

Scotters Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Any one for a consortium?...one month each a year?! Actually I take that back as still couldn't afford it and even if I could I think I'd still prefer to go out and dance to it now and then...let someone else have the worry of ownership / potential damage when playing it out. Brilliant record and will never forget the first time I heard it, which unlike you lot wasn't actually that many years ago. Ahh but the hundreds of other amazing records to be chased down and enjoyed instead. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
