Already at £23.99 - yet some classy origs fail to reach even £4.99 in bids ???? And no I won' t bother reporting to Ebay - naff all is done by Ebay or copyright owners with regard to these practices. ' sought after pressing ' - at least it is not being touted around as ' orig not sure ' blah blah blah....

Don't get me wrong , I don't mind folk getting them cheap , that's how it goes but I can't get my head round people paying stupid fooking money on boots that even look crap , Why ??? Rant over !

Glynthornhill Posted October 13, 2013 Author Posted October 13, 2013 Agreed Swifty ( and it was me that purchased two of those ) Can't resist buying cheap originals for stock - I 'll never become rich tho same as you - Maybe I should just press 100 copies of a well known track like some others .... 1

I know you did mate and it wasn't a dig at you and as I said it's not the fact that someone gets them cheap , I sometimes get records for silly prices (not often enough though ). What I don't understand is that these people who buy expensive boots must have some knowledge of the scene to know the record, I'm not knocking the seller who describes a record as a boot either , I just can't get my head round somebody paying £50 or so on something that isn't the real deal when they could be buying 4 or 5 decent originals for the same price The whole damn world is going crazy ! Swifty
Swifty Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Just watching a Michael & Raymond 1975 reissue sitting at £44... Pete , there's one on Pat Bradys site for £10 , don't they even do their fooking homework , tossers Swifty

Swifty Swifty, -given those prices you listed, I think it would have been reasonable for you to have placed a minimum bid level on them that would have been at LEAST 2-3 times the price you received. Are you not allowed to list a bid minimum?

Are you not allowed to list a bid minimum? Yes Robb , you can and maybe I should have but I just thought that I would get a bit below going rate , if you know what I mean. I don't have a problem with people winning records cheap , that's we all try and do at the end of the day. My problem is with idiots who pay silly money for boots , maybe just bitter and twisted . I know at the end of the day people can do what they like and pay what they like but I just don't get it. Cheers Swifty p.s. Robb if you have a few thousand records you don't need anymore I can pm you my address mate
Bo Diddley Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Just watching a Michael & Raymond 1975 reissue sitting at £44... Hope you win it Pete!!! 1

I wasn't being funny, I do sell Hipit for £5, who's gonna pay more than that? SOUL very common record. Joe Tex people only want a couple of his. Manhattans common version of Pretenders.
Swifty Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I do, every week! So for example you would sell Joe Tex and S.O.U.L demo for a £5 I'll have a few of each now mate , paypal as gift

Pete , my argument isn't what I got for my records it was I don't understand these Divies that pay loads for a boot , I know your prices are keen Pete and fair play to ya mate. I was just using those prices as a benchmark . Wolves are Shite Swifty

Swifty Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Anything I don't sell I reduce it til it sells. Whats the point of having it on the shelf? I agree Pete , but what's the point of selling for less than you pay , I only do it as a hobby and to fund other things as I said on another thread , you wont be seeing me on Dragons Den

Everyone wants to play the big ticket tunes, but they don't want to pay for an original. Another top Dj who will probably get an ovation from the punters when he plays his two big tunes. 5
Alan Walls Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I can't get my head around this business of boots going for anything more than a few quid. There's no kudos in owning a boot and you can't get away with playing one out (I presume)? If someone simply wants to have the tune available to listen to whenever they want then it'll surely be available on a compilation CD or YouTube? Weird. 1
Haydn Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Yep, found it in a collection I bought a few years ago. Somehow my conscious mind said i would never have the audacity to play it so passed it on. More of a kudos dancing to a record that someone strived to obtain rather than the click of a button. It's worth the postage price....if that!
John Moffatt Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Swifty, -given those prices you listed, I think it would have been reasonable for you to have placed a minimum bid level on them that would have been at LEAST 2-3 times the price you received. Are you not allowed to list a bid minimum? Isn't Ebay's minimum bid (reserved price) something like £50? Bloody ridiculous, doesn't give you half a chance of picking up a reasonable price unless you start it at what you want for it. Rather defeats the object somehow. Might as well list it BIN. 1

Northern Soul Uk Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Pete, was watching the Michael & Raymond too, ended up going for £67?? and in the description is stated there was a tiny crack in it? Fortunately I had already spotted another one for £27 which I bought. Never looked at Brady's site to be honest cos he is usually quite pricey. Just had a look and the only one I can see on there is this one at £30;https://www.northernsoul45s.co.uk/product_detail.asp?id=8426 Edited October 14, 2013 by Northern Soul UK

Mrtag Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Just watching a Michael & Raymond 1975 reissue sitting at £44... Fcuk!!! Just sold a strong VG+ issue for £200 think I'll sell the lot and buy some boot's before they get more expensive than the originals!! 2

I know Pete, makes you want to hunt down all the cheap ones and put em on ebay if they're fetching silly money? So what would be the ligitimate UK release then? or was there one? and is the one on Brady's site the second press? Edited October 14, 2013 by Northern Soul UK
Mick Holdsworth Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Isn't Ebay's minimum bid (reserved price) something like £50? Bloody ridiculous, doesn't give you half a chance of picking up a reasonable price unless you start it at what you want for it. Rather defeats the object somehow. Might as well list it BIN. John, are you saying to list on eBay with a minimum bid, the reserve has to be £50 or more ? If so, when the hell did that start ? The last time I had any kind of reserve on anything was a good many years ago, and although there would have been records with higher reserve than that, there would most definately have been much lower reserves on lesser items. Glad I don't do reserves, either start it at what I want for it, or take a chance. Cheers Mick

Glad I don't do reserves, either start it at what I want for it, or take a chance. Cheers Mick I bid recently on a record that had 'Reserve not met' set. I bid a few quid over £50, though the latest bid on it was less than £10 at the time. Straight away my bid went in at £50, and the 'Reserve..' legend disappeared. I wasn't expecting a figure that high (bit of a shock), so I'm assuming that is how it works. I couldn't imagine the seller set it that high through any free choice.

jocko Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 You'd be amazed how many RELY on boots, never mind try to 'get away' with playing them. I assume this kind of thing is for the plethora of "Vinyl Only" clubs that seem to be springing up, particulary inn Stockport, I thought these were for middle aged swingers at first, then realised I was right.... 1
Dave Moore Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 There's no kudos in owning a boot and you can't get away with playing one out (I presume)?He He!You new to this soul scene lark?Regards,Dave
Northern Soul Uk Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Yeah, just tried changed one in turbo lister just to see for myself, and it says £50.00 minimum. That one passed me by yeah the £50 reserve thing is ridiculous especially if what you are selling isn't worth £50. You can't put a reserve on it so the only option is to start at the lowest price you would take, and then it deters bidders from bidding. For the last say 100 auctions I have had on eBay, I have started the bidding at 99p, if the item is wanted it will find it's price, plus the 99p start encourages more bids. I know it sounds risky, but I have watched items exactly the same as I am selling with a high start price, not get any bids at all, whereas the one I am selling has reached a higher amount.

Haha yes plenty of those clubs all over mate who proudly proclaim "all played off 100% vinyl" etc. They might just as well play a cd or a laptop if they aren't playing ovo.

Well done Pete - last Hip It - sold @99p , and the obscurer LMHA issue only seems to muster under £5 these days - it's hard... bloody hard to push originals sometimes....
