Al Williams For £100?

[paultp]

In a moment of contemplation yesterday I wondered if it would be possible to buy and sell records in such a way that you could eventually get a really top record for not a lot of money.

What I eventually came up with was the idea of starting with a budget of 100 quid and trying to turn this into a copy of Al Williams - I am nothing.

I'm too tight to stick my hand in my pocket and just buy one and I do like a challenge, so I'm going to give it a go. I wonder if it is possible?

I'll start writing about it and keep a running score as I go along on my blog. If you'd like to play along please pick a different record. :-)

Cheers

I like this idea Paul and will look out for the updates. Good luck with it and I hope you get a copy of what is one of my all time favourite 60's records.

I'm warming to the task though I think it might be measured in years.

I don't have a lot of experience with records over a couple of hundred quid so it will be interesting. I think the hardest part will be selling records I want to keep.

Anyway, 1st record bought. I'm going to say what they are after I've sold them (if I sell them!).

Wish me luck.

[Dobber]

it works if your disaplined! every rare record ive ever had has come that way!

[Amsterdam Russ]

This is a classic, isn't it? And it's certainly been achieved a few times, although I bet there are way more failures than successes.

if I understand the idea, this is where someone sets out on a specific challenge to own something of significant worth by starting out with something relatively small, and then making their way to the goal by upgrading, selling for a profit, reinvesting that profit, buying something bigger in value, and, with a bit of luck, accumulating enough to eventually get the 'prize'!

Always liked the idea, but think I'd fail miserably and probably end up with less then I started with. Good luck with it!

Hope you find a copy before you draw your terminal breath!!

Sounds a great idea and will make interesting reading. I hope if and when the time comes you can find one for sale, and its not gone even more expensive! Good luck..

[Guest julesp1905]

Certainly possible, though achieving the goal is down to knowledge and a lot of luck.

 

How are you going to do it, with one record at a time, or multiple purchases?

[Soulcarp]

good luck in your quest,would have gone for a different record but think its achievable over time

Paul , have actually thought of doing this myself many times , i.e. if I've bought a bargain of ebay and flogged it for a bit of a profit then invest that in another etc.etc. , trouble is I always sh*t out and get bugger all for the next one , similar thing to matey boy who put a paper clip on ebay and ended up buying a bloody house with his profits , although I think he had a little help maybe?

 

Good luck anyway mate and keep us posted .

 

Cheers

You would have more chance if you put the £100 on a horse in next weeks Grand National - you know £100 @ 33/1 = £3400 Job done!! Simples init
