Popular Post Pete S Posted October 15, 2014 Popular Post Posted October 15, 2014 An old mate of mine asked me to value his collection for him - he's been out of touch for a while - anyway he put all the originals on one page of a spreadsheet and all the pressings and bootlegs on the other. In the bootlegs section was Natural Four on Boola Boola and John Bowie on Merben. He thought because he paid £3 each for them at the time, that's all they'd be worth now...I said mate, you're looking at £500 for the pair... yeah I know I could have not told him but I don't do that...and with a bit of luck, I'll have all 500 records this time tomorrow 8
Guest Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Can`t for the life of me remember what it was but I found a original in a box of pressings and I actually couldn`t for the life of me buy it without telling him. Does old age make you more honest?......... ....i`m sure 30 years ago I wouldn`t have said anything.
Harry Crosby Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Been there done that one myself Pete, my mate was over the moon, couldn`t believe it
Pete S Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 Been there done that one myself Pete, my mate was over the moon, couldn`t believe it Another one was "Is Tommy Bush worth anything now"....I said remember when more or less everyone in Wombourne had one, me, you, John etc...and they cost us £8 a time? Well now it's more like £500....
Lionelonthevinyl Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Good luck to him! Hope he makes a pretty penny...love john bowie, and the flip side is in demand at the minute (can't remember the name!)...I like tales like this, thank you for the post pete........Rob
Pete S Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 One in the pressing section I never heard of but don't think it's a pressing - Viola Edwards on Renfro? Also, in originals, a complete run of Ric Tics from start to finish...shame only about 2 are worth anything..
Lionelonthevinyl Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 If it's viola edwards-love you baby-renfro...think its £30/£40....more into the pot for the chap, excellent.....Rob
Pete S Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 If it's viola edwards-love you baby-renfro...think its £30/£40....more into the pot for the chap, excellent.....Rob Oh he won't be unhappy, I've got them to 8.5 K without even seeing them yet....might be some more originals disguised as pressings! Oh, and vice versa 1

Frankie Crocker Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Proud of you Pete. The world of record dealing is a minefield for the unwary so it's good to see a man of principle maintaining high standards. If I had any records to sell, I would consign them to you. 2
Guest Mellorful Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Well done Pete, honesty pays and your reputation is enhanced by being honest. You will get more sellers and buyers by being trusted.
