billb Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Great tune, always has been, ex condition, £80 I'd say but I'd never sell mine for that?
Prophonics 2029 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 See plenty of demos...not sure how many issues I have seen.
Guest Aaron Darcy Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 See plenty of demos...not sure how many issues I have seen. Demo's or issues not rare at all £70 to £100 imo

Dave Pinch Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 4 really high bids but the identities are always protected. could be 2 berks..could be 4 berks

I paid less than £100 for my copy, last year.
Chris L Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 An American seller told me that he now sells to Brits who've just started collecting NS records. He says that they all own JMs book and bid according to that, or even more.
Guest UPTITE U250A Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Demo's or issues not rare at all £70 to £100 imo What's "rare" about this record? Rob Smith used to seell stuff like this at £0.30p Rudzy was £0.50p Hardly stupifying. John Manship was selling Ujima's for £3,Mel Williams "sweet girl of mine" BUDDAH £3....etc etc etc take your pick from a wall rack of 10,000++++ 70Ts 45's...Northern Soul 60Ts....well,£20 was a "biggie" then.... WTF....??? Now...???
Julianb Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 This should be in comedy sale of the day Not if your are the recipient of £255!! The seller is a member on here.
Guest UPTITE U250A Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Not if your are the recipient of £255!! The seller is a member on here. especially for a £0.30p disc....

Orotava Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 This should be in comedy sale of the day Sorry - could Mods move it please??

Might well be Workington John, Whitehaven in fact. Anyway, apologies to all Cumbrians outside Carlisle..... KTF you lot 1
Guest Aaron Darcy Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Have to say this guy does get great prices for his records. I paid less than £100 for my copy, last year. Dodgy prices ...dodgy guy , he or she gets mates to bid on records they are not real bids in million years , i could be wrong though Edited February 10, 2015 by Aaron Darcy
Pete S Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Dodgy prices ...dodgy guy , he gets his mates to bid on his records they are not real bids in million years. But - he'd still have to pay out to ebay at the end of each auction so the fees must be massive. Some of the prices make the JM auctions look cheap though. Like world one-off prices, Dynamics pressing for instance, £5 off me, £50 off ebay
Kjw Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Dodgy prices ...dodgy guy , he gets his mates to bid on his records they are not real bids in million years. Serious question - how do you know that
Mellorful Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 They get carried away with the bidding, a copy for sale on GEMM for £105 https://www.gemm.com/search?field=ARTIST+OR+TITLE&wild=bobbie+smith+walk+on+into&media_format=2

Serious question - how do you know that If that's true not only would he have to pay Ebay's fees and I reckon that's in the £1000s now and even if he cancelled every sale to get his fees back wouldn't take Ebay to sus that out. I actually bought one of his records and I have to say at a fair price, I was, going on historical bidding, expecting it to go for far more. But as the questioner asked "how do you know that ?"
Guest UPTITE U250A Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Yes, and the bus fare into town used to be 40p, bloody £1.50 now that's sad indeed ..but look on the good side,you obviously stacked up on these records when they were fetching their real worth -think to those poor collectors paying telephone numbers prices today for unrare records and bootlegs...

Some of the prices make the JM auctions look cheap though. Like world one-off prices, Dynamics pressing for instance, £5 off me, £50 off ebay Once the auction has ended anyone can contact the buyer or mates who have bid on an item to cancel the transaction with what ever reason , the final selling fees are then refunded back to the seller , so massive fees are paid to Ebay

Ha, yes. I have lots of records i bought at realistic prices back in the day but i also pay vastly inflated prices today like a lot of us do

Benji Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 You can do that once or twice but Ebay aren't stupid, my niece did that and Ebay kicked her off. Exactly. Clearly, the paying-vastly-over-the-top-morons are fed up waiting for JM's auctions to finish once a week, they're moved to Ebay to get rid of their dosh several times a week. 1
Guest UPTITE U250A Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Ha, yes. I have lots of records i bought at realistic prices back in the day but i also pay vastly inflated prices today like a lot of us do OK that is very forthright of you to say so.As you say,and we all know,prices are vastly inflated why and how have they become so? Why do you continue to pay knowingly in excess of their "percieved" value? Just curious.Could not understand the corralation with the bus fare increase -overpriced records are not due to inflation!

Perceived (i b4 e except after c), correlation Various reasons why prices are what they are my friend, and you are right inflation isn't a factor. I buy and sell both at a loss and gain, i couldn't begin to say whether or not i'm "in profit".
