Northern Soul Uk Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Great news! (Note to oneself, Increase price from £20 to £100 in database) 500% increase in a year. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Foi Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) It seems that todays prices of records dont seem to police themselves with common sense anymore, what's thrown the spanner in the works is the word "DEMAND", hence why a once very cheap and NOT rare record like "Salvation" has become insanely overpriced, seems like we might all need a little Salvation literally from this lunacy!

Theothertosspot Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Can't understand this, just google Robert Thomas Salvation and there's one on Discogs for £64.May seem pricey but considering what people are paying sounds rather cheap to me.Regards Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Northern Soul Uk Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I'd be happy if I got £64 for the on I have on eBay Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Chalky Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) Rita Lee isn't rare but it is a keeper due to the rarity and demand Cressa Watson has caused. The same reason why everyone now wants Robert Thomas. Again shows the lack of imagination prevalent throughout the scene.
