Pete S Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Is "Ultimate Girl Groups" still the rarest, I'm sure it was withdrawn after a very short time. It's because I picked one up out of the blue today. Price anyone, if this is the one needed to complete collections?
Goldsoul Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 It is the rarest. GSCD 6. It was withdrawn after 14 days on sale in 1992. 1
Pete S Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 It is the rarest. GSCD 6. It was withdrawn after 14 days on sale in 1992. Thanks Kev. Do you want to buy one? Actually I bought this off the shelves in HMV in Brighton the week it came out. It was the last one I kept and I actually gave it away to someone who needed it to complete his set. I really am f*cking stupid sometimes.
Guest Dave Turner Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 1st post here Pete where it went for £60, and that was 8 years ago Also one sold on Ebay in 2011 for £50
dthedrug Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 HI ALL As you may be aware Pete I have a dislike to CD'S. However I do have many early ones on the shelf some still wrapped, also many promotion 4f5's that MICK GAVE ME! so not knowing the rare ones myself this thread will be of interest, same goes for REGGEA CD'S DAVE K
Chalky Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 sorted with number, found it on the shelves. I've one here if anyone wants to part with £50.
Agentsmith Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 It is the rarest. GSCD 6. It was withdrawn after 14 days on sale in 1992. never seen that one kev, but id agree that good many of the early ones will now average £30 perhaps more...bearing in mind we're talking twenty years or over. think the earliest one i have now is, the northern soul of los angeles vol.1...some amazingly rare tunes on there as well, and some which have picked up plays in recent times as folk look for something original.
Chalky Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I have most in excellent condition. I was going to rip them to a hard drive and sell them.
Pete S Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 sorted with number, found it on the shelves. I've one here if anyone wants to part with £50. If I can get £100 for this I'll give you £50 for yours certainly
Chalky Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 If I can get £100 for this I'll give you £50 for yours certainly I might ebay it along with the rest.
Pete S Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 I might ebay it along with the rest. They do f*ck all on Ebay mate. Example: I listed 20 on ebay last week, I sold one. I listed 60 on amazon last week, I sold twenty two!

Guest Dave Turner Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Chalky, as an individual seller it's 17.25% plus a completion fee of 86p per item For example CD -------- £10 Postage £1.26 Buyer pays a total of £11.26 -------------------- Amazon deduct 17.25% on the total Plus 86p completion fee Which comes to £2.59 You get £8.67 .... and then you have to pay the post office to mail it

Guest john s Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Why was it withdrawn.? Someone forgot to get the rights for a track, I believe...
KevH Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Someone forgot to get the rights for a track, I believe... Which track John?
Davetay Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Not got the CD to hand, so forgot what is on it, but the track is from the US Barry label. P.S. Found the CD, so it must be Lorainne & The Delights "Baby I Need You" Edited February 25, 2013 by davetay

Why do I have to pay the postage again when it's already been paid?

Pete S Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Bloody hell amazon don't do bad for very little do they. It's worth it for the massive exposure. (and no insertion charges, picture charges, no paypal etc etc) This is the last 5 days worth. Obviously not every week is like this, and I sell a lot of cd's for £1.75 to £2.50 but this money comes in so useful when I don't have any other money.. What events occurred during the statement period? Orders £136.76 Product charges £0.00 Promo rebates -£39.59 Amazon fees £17.64 Other (shipping & gift wrap credits) Subtotal £114.8 Edited February 25, 2013 by Pete S 1

Why do I have to pay the postage again when it's already been paid? Pete, buyer pays cost of CD plus £1.26 postage Amazon deduct the 17.25% of the total + 86p What is left goes into your bank, it is your money Out of your money you have to pay the post office when you mail it In your previous post you sated you made £114.80 You then paid at the post office so in effect you made less than that, if you paid out £20 at the post office you finished up making £94.80 Edited February 25, 2013 by Dave Turner
Pete S Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 Out of interest is the first one rare--GSCD 001 THE ESSENTIAL NORTHERN SOUL STORY. It's one of the best cd compilations ever - but mine ended at £9.99 on ebay at the weekend

Peter99 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Why was it withdrawn.? Someone forgot to get the rights for a track, I believe... I was going to ask that Kev. I don't understand/know much about stuff like this so thanks for the reply John. It's as simple as a thing like that? Some fcuk up isn't it. I wonder what that costs in terms of not recouping what anyone has paid out to get it to market? What a shame - a whole project ruined. well I guess it is? I meant to copy Kev R into this - bugger messed up. Kev R - any more details information? Cheers P Edited February 25, 2013 by Peter99
Guest Dave Turner Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Yes my money which includes the postage paid already? Pete, you're confusing me now mate You can look at it that buyer paid postage to you (indirectly through Amazon) and then you paid post office so in effect that cancels it out. In my initial post (#15) I was breaking down the cost of selling on Amazon and out of the total that Amazon pays seller the seller then has to pay the post office their bit. Surely you've got to agree that Amazon pay you a total and out of that you pay a total to the Post Office
Peter99 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Surely you've got to agree that Amazon pay you a total and out of that you pay a total to the Post Office Smiffy agree? You must be joking. Sorry Pete - it had to be done! LOL Peter

Surely you've got to agree that Amazon pay you a total and out of that you pay a total to the Post Office No I look at it in black and white, I get what it sold for, minus their charges but plus £1.20 postage added on by the customer towards postage. The stupid thing is, they give you the same amount for postage whether it's a cd or a cd box set, so I end up often adding 2, 3 quid on myself. And that IS me giving money to the post office.
phillyDaveG Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I had the complete set up to number 206, but it was getting silly, in that I was buying CD after CD where every track had already been on previous ones. In the end I ripped them all and sold them as a job lot. Got a nice trip to Australia out of it
Pete S Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 CD's fetching big money? Whatever next Same as anything when it becomes unavailable and people want it...
Barry Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 It'd be like buying a cassette - what's the point??
Pete S Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 It'd be like buying a cassette - what's the point?? What a crazy statement. Whats the point of cd's? Erm..30 tracks on one small disc, ability to play in random order, very hard to damage, improved sound quality...and so on and so on. I'm no big fan of playing tracks off cd's but for home use and convenience, even if thats just down to space saving, how can you ask whats the point of a cd...

Pete S Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 Was that taken at your last DJ spot? 1
Barry Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 You're just weird Pete....but that is my last word on it, go and do something worthy.
grant Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Was that taken at your last DJ spot? No that was my spot Pete when I played Benny Curtis last month
Ian Dewhirst Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 CD's fetching big money? Whatever next For me CD's are essential. I've been collecting digital masters for the last 25 years as they're essential for my job. I like having physical copies of digital files for safety reasons as well as convenience. Also, so many digital files are shit, so I prefer to use properly mastered digital files from CD as the quality out-does everything else, especially if they've been mastered from the original tapes. I'm in a position now where I have pretty much managed to replicate pretty much everything I ever had on vinyl and tens of thousands more. It's actually easier and quicker for many companies to ring me and get a digital WAV file then it is for them to get one from their own vaults! Also, checking the prices of the CD comps I was doing in the early 90's (Mastercuts, Deep Beats etc), virtually all of 'em sell for a lot more then they ever have done previously. The Japanese P-Vine releases are the holy-grail for CD collectors these days...... Ian D 1
