Steve G Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Maurice Williams has gone ballistic Dave.....Become a big revival sound and now every fella has to have one.....though I have to say even allowing for that, it's a joke price. When I were a lad I remember it at £1 at the Casino (or was it 50p), but all the copies have dried up and I guess others are in the chase.....

Frankie Crocker Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Not really a £400 sound but apparently in demand and required by eager- to-please DJs. A copy went through a JM auction a couple of months ago realising c£200 but falling short of the sales blurb hype, perhaps based on a US auction copy that went for $565.55 on 24/3/13. Another thread on SS covered this episode. I bid $ 555.55 for this beautiful mint copy as I had a vg+ copy to upgrade and move on - as this cost next to nothing, I was happy to bid high, a 'collateral bid' as it were. Not for the first time in recent months, I was beaten to a pristine record, and it appears that someone is out there hoovering up the mintiest records, money no object... Having been beaten to a decent copy of MW only a week or so before this, my bid was higher than it should have been due to wounded pride, an 'ego bid' as it were. Bidding is motivated by a number of factors and a final sale price may simply reflect pay-day frivolity at the end of the month, finally completing a label run, chasing an all- time favourite sound or simply getting two good sides for the price of one. At the end of the day, it's our appreciation of good but rare records that determines price fluctuations. Keep On. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Tricky Posted June 20, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2013 I wholeheartedly agree with everything said about the prices on this site, and his reissues stroke bootlegs really piss me off. I would point out though that Mannys prices mostly are a joke as are Moerers who now follows Manship dollar to pound. I generally give myself six months to find something i want before succumbing to their prices. My opinion i know but i feel the big boys are untouchable on prices a bit like the utilities and banks. Im in the real world at the moment and want value for my coin. 6 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Frankie Crocker Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Thanks for the link Peter. Nice page layout, shame about the prices. Why buy in pounds when you can pay in dollars and cut out the middle man? At least this is not an assembly of recent auction wins priced up to cash in on current demand. UK dealers should be undercutting JM#6 by at least 20% to be competitive otherwise the discerning shopper will just buy elsewhere... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

He regularly has some nice records for sale. Peter Is good service really worth £200+ extra though? I've bought one record off the Jeffries site before, via a pm to a want (I just don't look at the site anymore, it's too pricey). The price for said record was one of the only ones I've seen them sell at less than going rate so I bought it, and service was very good. I think it's just a case of more fool: A) anyone who buys at their daft price, and B) anyone who sets their prices for selling the same records listed on the site at that price Those guys have a big reach around the world, and will get their price eventually. In some cases they won't. As someone said, nice to have the liberty of risking something not selling with little to no consequence. P.s I'm sure I've seen that copy of Ellipsis on their eBay site relisted for the last two years at least. Just shows they don't sell em all and aren't fussed 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Marc Forrest Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 £150 tops. I couldnt believe my eyes at fist when I saw the first copies being advertised around 100 - 150 gbp really.

Regards, Dave Dave, certainly the matrix is one way, although from a scan, as in this case, the silver text is a giveaway. My point was not so much the questionable value of said item at £425, but the fact that it wasn't even a real one, and that nobody seemed to have mentioned it.

I did email him a few weeks ago when claimed a record for sale was only available on the label advertised, when in fact it was much rarer in its first release label. He did change his description, but as others have said, if you are a dealer, you had better get your facts right. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
