You can see them on his site.  Just look at "Ending this week".  Every auction that ended today is visible with final prices and remains visible until next week's auction. 

John Manship also posts the finishing prices to facebook.

Especially when you consider that a rare white promo of this was going for around that amount not to long ago.....

Thought that there were many new Pop-Up DJS buying all the well known stuff and playing it, after all the rooms are dark and the punters are dancing so who's going to see if it's an original or not ?

Yeah, does'nt time fly when your collecting records.......especially the price of some of 'em

Here's a tip for one I know will soon be silly money...... Billy Sharae - Im Gone - purple spectrum, well it will when JM auctions a 'minter' :wicked:

Is anything ever mint on purple Spectrum, there's always label wear/deterioration for a start.

That's what happened to Linda Lloyd a few years back a £35 - 40 sound then Ian Levine mentioned it a few time, then it shot up to £150.00 + :ohmy:

Well take it with a pinch of salt Ian likes to exaggerate the prices on some well known 45' s.

He recently commented on Falsebook that the Full Speed 45 had been selling for £250 . Not sure why I have one listed @ £20 opening bid . £40 it's fair price , seen it on a delaers lists @ £100  - Why do peeps triple the factor   ... well known DJ  spin etc etc  -   FFS !!

Am not a record collector, curious as to some o your opinions, are prices more rip off now or has this always been the case

No , it used to be fun buying records back in the day

"Rip off" doesn't really come into to it. It's more a question of some people willing to pay a lot more money than say 2/3 years ago. No one forces them to buy at these high prices and you wonder if it will all end in tears ?

It'll end in tears for some people. I have paid over the odds for a few 45s, but mainly because I really wanted them and was prepared to push the boat out a bit to get them. But to me that's the key - I only buy records I like and will cherish not what's considered to be flavour of the month. I bought stuff to play to the floor in the 80s but soon got fed up just giving the people what they wanted - they should know that isn't good for them!
