Dobber Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 id have thought in the realms of £1200 personally!
Lionelonthevinyl Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) id have thought in the realms of £1200 personally!with today's prices possibly more....great double sider...connie is an awesome record as well (my favourite of the two sides).....Rob.

Chalky Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 These days nearer £1200 IMO than the £800 it was a couple years ago or so. 1
Lionelonthevinyl Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 These days nearer £1200 IMO than the £800 it was a couple years ago or so. as prices go at the minute, £1200 for this record is a bargain, fantastic record!......Rob
Popular Post Len Posted September 22, 2015 Popular Post Posted September 22, 2015 Sold mine a couple of years ago to someone who really wanted it for £500.00 - No regrets! (It went to a caring home).........But don't listen to me - I'm the worst 'record dealer' in the world (Buy high / sell low) Len 4

Popular Post Len Posted September 22, 2015 Popular Post Posted September 22, 2015 Sorry to go 'off topic' here (Maybe should have started a separate thread)......But is there anyone 'out there' that genuinely cares whether their records go to someone who really wanted said record (a good home) / or couldn't care less, as long as it's sold?Maybe this is the difference between record dealers, and collectors selling to each other - Call me soppy, but I care / take satisfaction if one of my records goes to someone that has been longing for the record in question.Len 5
Len Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 I'd of had that!.....I'm also garbage at selling, guaranteed after two weeks of off loading my records they go massive every where!..RobBeing ahead is a bind mate - You just got to roll with it Len 2
Lionelonthevinyl Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Being ahead is a bind mate - You just got to roll with it Len ha-ha! Never thought of it like that...I sell, tell people, then they tell me I'd of never of sold that!....my friends know what I own...please tell me prior to any of my sales!!....to be fair they get sold on to finance other records, and my soul buddy's are top people!....Rob 1
Chalky Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 as prices go at the minute, £1200 for this record is a bargain, fantastic record!......Robyou are probably right Rob 1
Lionelonthevinyl Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 you are probably right Robthank you chalky.....the four voices, near as damn it 2k on jm's, another fantastic double sider.....I fancy this would go close to that price on his auction (just as good imo), and think most people selling privately, soul do's etc would want a grand minimum cash. I'm no expert and listen to you guys who know far more than me........Rob 1
Len Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 ha-ha! Never thought of it like that...I sell, tell people, then they tell me I'd of never of sold that!....my friends know what I own...please tell me prior to any of my sales!!....to be fair they get sold on to finance other records, and my soul buddy's are top people!....RobNice one mate - I don't sell much, but a couple of years ago I had to 'needs must' an' all that - My children needed feeding (and that is the truth of it) I ended up selling (as stated) The Servicemen, but with that, a hand full of records I have had on the shelf for years, literally collecting dust - 'Howard Guyton - I Watched You Slowly Slip Away' was one that springs to mind.....It's funny, I hadn't played any of them for years, but now that they are gone, it really hurts (only comfort being that they went to good homes)...Some records to people like us are like photos - You may not look at them much - but by god, they would be the first thing to grab if we had a house fire (along with the kids of course)...Oh yeh, and the wife!!! Len 3
Len Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 you are probably right RobStill no regrets Chalky Len 1
Lionelonthevinyl Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 If anyone's interested I could trade a couple of bonsai trees for a servicemen single!.....god I've got some strange interests/passions!!.....Rob 1
Len Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 If I stumble across another one - It's yours mate I bought my 94 year old granddad Bonsai tree seeds! - True! Len
Lionelonthevinyl Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 If I stumble across another one - It's yours mate I bought my 94 year old granddad Bonsai tree seeds! - True! Len ha-ha......I've stopped starting from seeds and I'm 44, worried I won't see them mature.....god bless the old Dad....(sorry if off topic)...Rob 1
Len Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 thank you chalky.....the four voices, near as damn it 2k on jm's, another fantastic double sider.....I fancy this would go close to that price on his auction (just as good imo), and think most people selling privately, soul do's etc would want a grand minimum cash. I'm no expert and listen to you guys who know far more than me........RobIt was a mate of mine that sold that - It's one of those record that I had on my wants list for so long, I ended up not wanting it! How weird is that?.....The 'Mystery' is something that should be cherished, sometimes finally getting a record spoils it in some way Len 1
Chalky Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 thank you chalky.....the four voices, near as damn it 2k on jm's, another fantastic double sider.....I fancy this would go close to that price on his auction (just as good imo), and think most people selling privately, soul do's etc would want a grand minimum cash. I'm no expert and listen to you guys who know far more than me........Robit's hard to put a price on records these days especially indemanders like this one. We can says a price based on past history, what copies we know are abput etc but all rhyme and reason and common sense seems to have gone out of the window these days. 1
Dave Rimmer Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 People always ask me "How much is so and so worth", simply because I sit behind a box of records at niters. At one time I used to have a fairly good idea of prices so would happily tell them what I thought. Nowadays, I'm really hesitant to give my opinion because if I say £200, and they sell it for that, and then John Manship auctions one the following week and gets £600, who is going to get it in the neck for giving bad advice ? Yep, me ! Yet the advice I gave might well have been perfectly accurate THAT week ! 3
NEV Posted September 23, 2015 Author Posted September 23, 2015 Very true Dave ...at the moment ,it's becoming very eratic with the mid to high end rarities .frequently seeing things go for a lot more than they should be .Some might be freak ebay madness ,but it seems to set the standard for future sales .But this is a highly prized 45 and not common and nm ,so need to get price somewhere near ?Appreciate the input so far
Lionelonthevinyl Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) would you get max £ from auctioning it through mr manship, he takes 20% but the skys the limit as Jack Montgomery shown in the last week or so......take offers on here for a week or so, you can decide then if it's reached its potential giving updates on offers so far etc. Or stick it set sale with very nearest offer.....worlds your oyster!.......I offer 2 specimen bonsai trees!.....good luck matey, a fantastic record........kind regards......Robp.s I hope I've got this right and you are selling, not looking to buy.
