when you sign up for an ebay account you are told you cant sell or buy counterfeits or copies so ebay is breaking its own rules by letting it continue you have to check a box that states it seems they are making the rules as they go along if you put a counterfeit rolex up for auction and call it a 2nd issue would that be ok only saying

 

Problem is that probably 60% of the crap for sale on ebay is trashy chinese counterfeit , but obviously not advertised as such ... the price is usually the big giveaway ... there's so much money to be made from these items that ebay aren't interested in policing such a vast 'industry of tat'.

Now that the funky sound is getting played much more in northern rooms, are there any tracks on those Goldmine CDs that were missed at the time but are now big?

What drives the choices of which 'funky' sounds get played or picked up on? I've seen wants for the likes of the Apaches (assuming it's for 'Trying To Make Ends Meet') among other 'straight up' funk sounds (the stuff that's not even 'funky soul' or has a soul element) that are presumably being used at Northern clubs, somewhere(?). Or are they bought to play to a more - erm - continental crowd who don't have a 45+ year NS history but like a broad span of styles (northern and funk included)? 
It's kinda like 'If you like that, you need this, this, this, these, those, that and them. And then that stack, too'.

I messaged him and told him he was committing fraud by not saying it was a boot, no reply of course

Not a comedy anymore - maybe we need a new thread 'Rare 70's bootleg Fanzine'

at least the descriptions honest

 Obviously the plain red boot sticking a photocopied label on has just added £275 to the price :g:

Bootlegs are just that, they are not rare as the originals may be, so I'm amazed how some folk try to justify the prices they go for! Especially when described as 70's rare bootlegs/re-issue as if that has some provenance!!

Something weird is happening with people listing on foreign eBay, curiouser and curiouser!!

Here's another blinder that's just been listed. Got a decent copy of this for £10 a few weeks ago.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/THE-HIT-PACK-Never-Say-No-To-Your-Baby-Rare-Northern-Soul-Funk-45-SOUL-35010-/371580289716?

and look at the import charges to the UK :-)

Well, unless somebody buys it (even Manship lists it at 1/2 of that) it's not a comedy sale. More a comedy offer, isn't it.
Same with all the Ebay auctions posted in this thread. Just because some half-witted joker posts a record 1.000x its real value it's not a comedy sale. Unless another half-witted joker bids on it.

Just my two cents, thanks for reading..:thumbsup:

One has to admit that people are bidding on these boots at very silly prices is very worrying. At what time do they wake up and realise they've bought a £10 bootleg/re-issue and paid £200.00 for it ?

Never...........because they aren't interesting accruing such knowledge,if they where they wouldn't be paying that price in the first place because they'd have done there homework ??:thumbsup:
