so how much a wdj now ??

 

 

£125 maybe  :g:

 

This WDJ just went through eBay.

 

Was VG++ with a slight warp  :ohmy:

 

10 bids and 7 bidders - made just under 120 quid.

Maybe even more than I said for a minter/m- copy then?  :g:

 

Cheers

This should be 30/40 quid, maybe twice as much for the demo. There was a demo offered on here other week for £55. Some people just aren't prepared to do either any homework and look for a valuation or even look for a copy at the right or a reasonable price.

Well said Chalky.

And, as it happens, a poignant reminder that no record has a price which it should be.

 

In an open market a record will sell for whatever price it makes at a period in time, given all the circumstances prevailing on that particular day.

 

Some people will be jealous if their copy didn't fetch as much when they sold it. Conversely, others might be resentful if they wanted to buy a copy but couldn't afford it, or got outbid.

 

The same feelings often apply when there has been a real bargain on set-sale, but some other lucky punter beat them to it!

I disagree most records, especially common records have a rough price, give or take a bit...but over 50% plus more? When all recent sales (set sales that is) have been less than £60 including a demo, for one to fetch £125 a week or so later says to me someone hasn't done his or her homework or have enough money they can't be bothered to take a few days to look round. Again it's an auction price and maybe the red mist descended on the bidders?

I neither want this or have one to sell so have no axe to grind, I'm certainly not jealous. There is a percentage of people distorting the market. Now everyone will want £100 plus for this now when it simply isn't worth it, IMO of course.

My impression is that the red issue is fairly common but by comparison a WDJ is quite a bit rarer which puts it at a higher price.

 

I quick peep at Popsike shows 43 red issues and 6 white demos.

 

It's not just recently that prices have been higher on the WDJ.

 

I have a note of Lew Stanley selling a WDJ on eBay back in September 2008 for USD $96.00.

 

Adey Pierce had a WDJ in April 2008 at £75.00.

 

Both are around 5 years ago!

 

More recently - eBay January 2013 a WDJ went for USD $130.

 

Maybe my suggestion of 125 quid was a bit high by comparison but I still reckon the WDJ is worth signficantly more than a red issue.

 

Plus, do a search on here and see how many times Irene & Scotts has appeared in 'wants' recently  :D

 

Cheers

Chalky only the 15 minute guys will expect £100.Most folks are realistic off of the internet,at nighters etc.Trouble is when a want gets under your skin anything can happen.
