Dave Rimmer Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) I think I'd have said something a little stronger than flippin 'eck ! Edited June 29, 2014 by Dave Rimmer
Russoul1 Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 watched the turley richards end was waiting for a late bid to come in.... was gobsmacked had to check exchange rate to see the outcome £411, also noticed the winner had a second bid waiting...! mad mad world strange thing was just had a hour spinning some tunes and this was the first one I pulled out after a long time sitting in one of me boxes, great record btw sounds great and in better condition than the one sold..... also jeanette...thew....lol
Pete Eccles Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Watched em both myself out of curiosity, shocked doesn't really cover it,
Frankie Crocker Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Flabbergasted. I bid on Jeanette but never envisaged this outlay - condition was ace though and the best copy to pop up for a while. Possibly a buzz on Turley Richards at present - is it getting spins? Maybe there's a Lottery winner out there who's decided to invest in top condition vinyl?

Labeat Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Turley Richards.... iv'e just this minute sold my copy to myself.... £80, thats all it's worth! 1
Pete Eccles Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Condition might be ace but c'mon it isn't even rare. It's been in demand for many years now, which could make it's availability (as opposed to rarity) a little scarce, although lot's were saying they were sick to death of it, and rightly so, 15 years or so ago, yet it's still getting lots of plays, £749 is a lot of money for a 'get out of jail free card' Edited June 29, 2014 by Pete60 2
John A Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Condition might be ace but c'mon it isn't even rare. It isn't even good 2
John A Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 It's lovely Only my opinion of course. Had one a dozen or so years ago. it just never clicked. wish I still had it...straight on the bay
Frankie Crocker Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) It isn't even good A great record and one of the best discoveries of the last two decades. Still plenty of milage in it too. Sure, more a scarcity than a rarity but I doubt there are many minters still to come to market. Edited June 30, 2014 by FRANKIE CROCKER
Quinvy Posted June 30, 2014 Author Posted June 30, 2014 They are both fantastic records, hence why I was watching them hoping for a bargain. yeh right. Like I said in the other thread, anything of quality goes for massive money on eBay these days. And the ones that appear to go through at reasonable money, I can guarantee you that the winning bidder will have put a massive amount on it. I am second high bidder on everything that I really go for. I have also noticed that most of the winning bidders have very high feedback scores. So it can't be newbies pushing the prices up. 2
Guest Aaron Darcy Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I think its time to pack up' looking at these auction prices on ebay.

So it can't be newbies pushing the prices up. i think some of the newbies have 10 years experience behind them now ,so maybe there not quite newbies.....but if you got plenty o money you can wrack up a high score very quickly..but honestly tho..if anybody who wanted a copy of wade flemons i thought they would have had one by now..his other ramsel 45 is way better and much rarer..but its not a floor filler
Russ Vickers Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Without stating the obvious & rolling out the old chestnut about I paid 25p scrillions of years ago, Wade Flemons was still a £10 record in the 9ts & there was no shortage of them, in fact i think it was John Weston, altho could be wrong, pulled three out of the same box at the 100 Club at a tenner each & that was soon after people began to notice it...I have no issues paying top wack for records that I think are worth it, if I have the funds at the time, but honestly I would dearly love to know who these people are paying this kinda wonga for these type of records that arnt mega rare really...& more to the point why they would do it....problem is every Tom, Dick & part time record dealer will now have a similar price on these very records....Bonkers !!!

Speedlimit Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 brought Jeanette of rob smith back in 78 for a quid was d.jing at the brit notts at time he said it would never take off !!!!!!!! oh how times change not worth that much though :)
Labeat Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Might anger some here but to me Wade Flemmons would have been more suited to Top of the pops in it's day! Come on.... it's not the thinking mans record 1

Best Russ But the 90's were almost 20 years ago now (sorry everyone). I've heard it said many times that there were loads about at a tenner or less and nobody liked it, but if that's the case why doesn't it come up for sale more often? It's the same with a lot of records that were once cheap and in everyone's sales box, once they are not cheap they don't come up for sale. Marva Lee is a good example; 90's = £10 to £15 quid and 1 in every box, 2013 = £100 - £125 and none to be found. Also, why is it a bad thing that more people are collecting? I thought that was the idea; buy OV. Unfortunately more people after the same number of records means prices go up. i paid Shifty £150 quid for my copy in the early 2000's and don't give a f*ck what someone paid 5 years before that or 10 years later. 3

Jeanette might not come up for sale every day but it does pop up on a fairly regular basis via some list, sales box or auction. £700 I would want a genuine rarity that reflected the price not a common record. 3
Labeat Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Hey hey.... paid a pittance for Marva Lee in 80's.... sold it last year £120 but i'm also gullible for the reverse... a small fortune for a disc i paid a fiver for in 80's Thats life
Popular Post Chalky Posted June 30, 2014 Popular Post Posted June 30, 2014 It is a completely distorted market right now and anyone buying as an investment will be in for a shock as the market will become saturated as 100's of OAP collectors attempt to cash in their pension and sell their collections. 5

I think that is already happening, there are some good records appearing for sale on private sellers lists at the moment. and you're right; £700+ is a stupid amount to pay for Jeanette :-) i long for for the day when records I want are cheap but I still get great prices for those that I'm selling.

Thats a fair point.... if you have a 10 20 50 100k collection or more, how do you get your timing right? As i see it the biggest majority of collectors are mid to late 50's so suppose theres another 10 years of collecting it could be a dilemma! I do also know there are a younger generation of collectors who hopefully will support the scene!

Sure, more a scarcity than a rarity but I doubt there are many minters still to come to market. It's a bit older than that, I posted a tape up of Richard Searling it playing it at Wigan in July 77 saying it would take over where Jimmie Raye left off - he only played it twice again! Good version of this by Jimmy James on UK Piccadilly by the way, anyone. 1

Good version of this by Jimmy James on UK Piccadilly by the way, anyone. Getting confused now, the Jimmy James is a version of "I feel alright" isn't it? I thought Frankie was talking about "Jeanette" .... maybe not, unless Jimmy James did a version of that too, Isn't the Jimmy James the original, written by him?

stokesoulboy Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Given current demand i'd say £500 easy in nice condition, is the demo or issue more ££ ?? i turned down £450 a few months back for a minty demo

Pete Eccles Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 no wade Ahhh I thought you meant Turley Richards because I didn't know of the "Jeanette" demo, a quick search reminds me that I know nothing*, *must check mine when I get home

My timing will be when I'm dead lol, unless I have a massive unexpected shortfall....once I have the records they have no monetary value to me, although theyre worth thier weight in gold quality wise. I invest in SOUL & would never buy a record hoping I can sell it in 10 years or what ever for a profit.... Hope youre well mate Best Russ 5
Andrea Ko Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 two great great records.... does turley richards have nothing to do with betty lavette's "i fell good all over"? words and music look similar... didn't know this tune before. astonishing

Quinvy Posted June 30, 2014 Author Posted June 30, 2014 Prefer Turley Richards - I can't take it any longer myself buying them like a looney, waiting for the day it hits £400 There's no accounting for taste, but believe me when I say that record will never hit £400.
Pete S Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 There's no accounting for taste, but believe me when I say that record will never hit £400. Oh I don't know, an auction maybe...I wouldn't pay more than £100 for it myself and never have! 1
Dazz Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Really Was once lambasted on here when I asked 80 quid for Carl Carlton 'I can feel it' 'Feel alright' was once a £25 record not long ago so I'll be the first in your inbox with a 'Na na na na na'
John A Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Sorry I thought we were talking about Turley Richards. I was, but hey,this has all got a bit confusing.
