Guest allnightandy Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 ebay doesn't have a way to determine whether it's a bootleg or not. they would only take action if you were the copyright owner yourself and used their VERO program to report items. on the other hand, you should definitely report sleazy listing practices like overcharging on shipping, keyword spamming, and that stupid belgium dude who lists unbuyable items as ads for his store. I have complained to ebay about the Belgian D*ck head several times it is nothing more than free advertising for his brothers shop i have also told him what i think of his £50,000,000 "rarest record on earth" acetate by Moses that he seems to have six copies of if you check his feed back , he sell about three records a year !

Sheldonsoul Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 This Original Don Thomas on Blue VJ LOL I have messaged him the errors of his ways see if he removes it https://www.ebay.co.u...=item256b1e3de7 he is also selling loads of UK motown demo's all over priced like this one that books at £22 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Green-White-Motown-Demo-Edwin-Starr-Agent-Double-O-Soul-TMG-790-V-Rare-/160711561708?pt=UK_Records&hash=item256b27d1ec . As a few people know I collect Motown demos, his price for the Edwin Starr demo I reckon is about the going rate. Look at Popsike one sold in 2008 for £330.00!!!!!!

That's right, if it's the Oh How Happy 45, came out on a demo, wasn't released, then was rescheduled, came out on demo and issue. First one is rare like you say. * checked and it's Agent 00 Soul. IN that case, forget anything I said, that's worth £40. Edited January 15, 2012 by Pete S
Markd Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Somebody else got a bargin here ! https://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1423.l2648 Bloody hell, had the exact same boot on here for sale last week for £5.00. I know where I'll be putting it now.

boba Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 I have complained to ebay about the Belgian D*ck head several times it is nothing more than free advertising for his brothers shop i have also told him what i think of his £50,000,000 "rarest record on earth" acetate by Moses that he seems to have six copies of if you check his feed back , he sell about three records a year ! I always complain for at least two of his auctions. His stuff does get taken down by ebay often. It pisses me off the worst when he shows up in the ebay ad here as one of the most expensive items, that's when I'm most aggressive about reporting him. He used to do the zillion dollar ads all the time, now I rarely see them (he has fake cheaper ads).

Theothertosspot Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 I'm not saying it's a boot , just that most of the stardust pressings seem to be still available ! This thread was covered a few weeks ago for the same reason (someone paying an extortionate amount for the same single taken from an LP). The other side (I Cried For You) is also on the LP and worthy of plays (if not already been played), but I must agree the prices being paid are somewhat outrageous (unless you are the seller) considering the LP is only the same sort of value.

Had about 8 bids, and the winner got it for £44. BTW, is 'original pressing' an oxymoron? Edited January 18, 2012 by Gene-R
