John Manship Auction this week.

[Soulaction]

I think even by the standards of prices Johns auction can raise, this one takes the biscuit.

Jay D Martin   By Yourself   Tower    the more common white dj copy.

An incredible £1337.00p was the end price.

Thought   Sam Dees   Lonely for you baby   was pricey at £950.00P odd.

But the  Jay D  Martin   price is astonishing.

[Winsford Soul]

Nothing much surprises me anymore on John's site. Good luck to him but absolute fools  buying at those prices.  Money, sense comes to mind.

If you’re a millionaire, then the price paid for J D Martin is pocket-change. Maybe some ultra-rich tycoon has stumbled upon a strain of music they quite like and fancy owning mint copies, money no object. No ordinary mortal could justify shelling out over a thousand quid for J D Martin. Someone in Hollywood or Silicon Valley is having a jolly fun time...

JM deserves great credit for his pioneering longstanding dealing and authorship. He gets top prices as he has many of the best records as well as a world wide distribution and strong sales PR comments. Doesn’t always work though and it is a very fair auction process imho.

I agree, have used him ourselves on dozens of occasions.

And been very happy with the outcome.

But the Jay D Martin dj, come on that was ridiculous.

 I could certainly get Jay D Martin cheaper, just about anywhere.

Have had numerous copies of it over the years, and Sam Dees too.

This is not a criticism of John or his auction, have used him myself on dozens of occasions.

Just think that price is bordering on insanity

And I am not worrying, or even wrorrying.

I expect John is sat relaxing tonight sipping an ice cold Double J D Fair play to him... 

[Hammie]

Was that the artists name Jack Daniel Martin....

[Geeselad]

Its easy to forget how important conditions are relative to value, finding NM copies of classic is definitely becoing harder. 

[Guest Mighty Mips]

...wow, for that price u can probably BECOME “shaydy” martin
