What Would You Do

[Guest]

at a soul night last night i noticed a new face

i got chatting as you do and asked who,s the record box on the table was.

its mine he said so i asked sales?

he said yes so i looked through

low and behold i came across a copy of dee dee sharp..deep dark secret for sale

i asked how much and he said price is on the sleeve..i looked and saw 15 pounds

ok ill have it

5 minutes later after showing a good m8 the m8 offered me £100 for it there and then

the thing is he knows what i paid for it

so do i sell it to him (as i have a copy) for his offer price or do i let him have it for a knock down price?

plz help me decide

moldie

[Guest dundeedavie]

you sell it to him at his offer price .....certainly not less

[Simsy]

you sell it to him at his offer price .....certainly not less

Agreed. A record is only ever worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. If he is prepared to pay a hundred quid, take the money.

ps, Beers on you Saturday.

[Headsy]

glad I am not your mate's............... .....you give him it for £15

Take the hundred quid and give £35 of it to the original seller when you see him next so you have both had £50 out of the deal. Don't know why you think buying from some one for a price they ask is any different from taking an amount that is offered?

The only difference in this instance is both you and your mate know this can sell for much more. Mind you the original seller had the price about right based on quality and numbers about.

[Codfromderby]

"do unto others" as the old saying goes, if it was me when i saw the seller again i,d bung him twenty quid or so but then i,m soft like that

a few months ago i sold what i thought to be a couple of old hat records to someone i know for what i believed to be a silly high price for such records, little did i know that the records had recently shot up in price tenfold , on top of that the bloke who bought them of me went around saying he was great and i was a prat for selling them so cheap , however at the time i was more than happy with what i got, and he was happy with what he got so i wasnt that bothered .

However next time he comes to ouir local soul night i,ll have the alloys of his audi (only joking)

hey im only asking peoples opinion...ive not said its any different

moldie

[mischief]

Moldie depends who it is that wants to buy it... would they sell it on or keep it.. is it a good mate sometimes friendship is worth more than a record.

i did ask him if the price was correct...he said it was so i bought it

i havent said anything about the seller to anyone...he was happy and so was i but more so

[Guest Bearsy]

Moldie,

to save all this grief why dont you just give it to me for what you paid for it then i can sell it to your mate for the £100 and then as im a decent bloke i will buy you a beer or ten for all your troubles and then you wouldnt have this dilema no more,

i wouldnt do this for just anyone you know.

Thing is now everyone in the world will know whats going on so we could just use it as a beer mat and watch everyones faces as they walk past and notice ,

Really looking forward to Bisley next week as it will be my first visit after many failed attempts,

[Guest Trevski]

Let your mate have it for £50, he's a mate. But if he sells it, he has to split what he gets over £50 with you.

[Guest Bogue]

£15 on the sleeve ? thought you might at least have tried to knock him down to £10

Seriously though, don't you feel a little pang of guilt Moldie ? Ebay & record shops/dealers fair game, but a fellow soulie face to face,I don't think i could have taken it without telling him. I reckon you should take the £100 knock off the £15 & split it 3 ways everyone would be happy then. But hey, i'm a fool who will never be a business man

[Chris Anderton]

At the last Cleethorpes a guy asked me to look thru his box, i pulled out a £200 record he had £30 marked on it....i told him it was 200+, we checked in the guide and sure enough it was £250. I dont know why i did this, i think nothing of taking any bargain i can get when in the US.....maybe because it was a regular customer who just did`nt know...and i like the guy.....i dont regret it, sure i did the right thing........but maybe would have dont the same thing in your situation...strangers are different but you have to look after your mates with records.....what goes around etc etc.....

[Dave Morris]

Moldie are you sure you gave me the right record!!! Think it should've been this one.

Personally if they want to give you a ton for it then take it.

Do i know him?

Dave.

Dave.

yes it was one of the djs from sat night

dont wanna mention him by name

some people have suggested i give the seller some more cash but would he have given me money back if i had paid over the top

i think not

the said dj wants it for his collection and is still getting it cheap at £100 as its in mint minus condition

with regards people saying what goes round etc i sold a record about 3 years ago for £30 and have since seen it on lists and ebay at £100 and since sat night i have spoke to him about it but no way do i think hey i want more cash

ill see if the mate wants to do a trade for something hes had for years and got cheap then we both win

moldie

[Dave Morris]

think you may be better off as he has some nice stuff.Would he trade tho'?To be honest he's welcome to it as I think its had its day.Also not my cup of tea.

do big dealers feel guily when they find a record and then sell it on knowing they have a box full? i think not

But they would never ever do a thing like that Moldie, i'm sure they wouldn't !

[Guest]

i think i might believe you

[Guest Bogue]

i think i might believe you

Only joking anyway Moldie, you did your best by asking him if it was priced right, & if he didn't have the sense to take the hint then it's his own fault.

There is another posible scenario though Moldie . Perhaps they were stolen & he wanted rid of em' quick ?

So now you are not only ripping off a fellow soulie, you are also possibly handling stolen property !

Well if it comes to court there is evidence on this thread that you bought it in good faith

i`am sure loads of readers have done something like what you describe be it either side of the debate.i`ve sold loads of things that have come back to haunt me but hey! ex wifes must!!! quote you. " on top of that..........." yeah i had something like that from an old mate. i had mentioned an album that i had and the next thing was i had his wife at my door saying she wants to buy it for his birthday.. keep the two twelves he lent you" she said. if i knew it was his birthday and knew that he wanted it iwould have been delighted to have wrapped the album up for his birthday. all i got was the coment he made on getting the lp.,.,..,.,"well he doe`snt know what he`s got. cheers mate.

I'm sure if a box of records, or even a 'deep dark secret' had been stolen recently it would have been on SS. Think you can rest easy Moldie
