John Manship Auction Results 11-12-2013

JM auctioned a couple of records earlier this year for me and they fetched higher than expected prices.

I was payed the agreed percentages so I cant see how his prices can be questioned.

Hes just good at what he does 

 

But what I'm trying to say is, when a record sells for 5 times it's value, it's natural to comment about it.

They aren't "his" prices, they are the prices someone has bid.

If you saw a Disco Demand copy of Footsee sell for £75, wouldn't you agree it's worth discussing?

I get that completely but I got the idea that some people were questioning if the records do

fetch the prices shown at the end of the auction, from my own experience then the answer

is yes

Oh right, I get you. I was never saying that and never would say that, not about a JM auction.

I think what gets peoples back up is the fact that a record goes for twice what it was and that is then accepted by many as the norm and not a one off auction. They disregard all precious sales, often even current sales listings.

Read Johns description on his auction today. The one on Monument. Totally brilliant John, brought a big smile to my face.

A lot more interesting than the 45 he is auctioning under that description.

Actually knowing John, he's probably collating all those sales pitches for another book "The Manship Auctions". He could then collate the history of his auctions with the descriptions which he's already written, the end results which he already has and the scans which he already has. Instant book which I'm sure a couple of thousand people would happily buy. So I guess that's why he's investing a bit of time in the descriptions. He's writing the equivalent of a set of sleeve notes every week which takes up a bit of time and research.

 

I really like them though. That Cleethorpes one is a scorcher. Even Record Dealers can be poetic LOL....

CONCLUSION : Manny must have the auction e-mailed to the residents at " BROADMOOR " surely ?

Maybe, but your use of capital letters concerns me nonetheless. If I was watching this on a colour telly would it be written in red crayon?
