Zanetti Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 Wow - very nice auction. Very ingenious records represented. Gladly again. Cloud Records, Obscure Jady Records, Speed, ... strong demo copies, brutal stockers ... love the yellow J&W bow ... That reminds me again - have a look: rarest stock copy there was a nice exchange here over a longer period of time Btw - Thorley started with a demo thread ...

Frankie Crocker Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Someone snagged a bargain with the Chi-Lites on Blue Rock. I’d have put ‘She’s Mine’ as the first track of the soundbite as this is a brilliant sound and twice as good as the one featured in the blurb. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Davey S Posted June 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2022 Think we've all been collecting long enough to know a record is worth precisely what someone is prepared to pay and even then it doesn't guarantee the price of the next one that comes up. The demand is great nowadays and supply is very limited, its no use giving examples of years ago copies of records cost 50p etc and there were hundreds of them cause them days are done . 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Agree, some buyer(s) including me have for financial reasons had to sell their precious 45s in the past and it is not laziness as quoted multiple times in this and previous posts but opportunity, condition, timing, rarity & desire that keeps the 50p gems prices rising. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

You mentioned prices rising and added a smiley. That's not a good thing when you're a buyer, so your comment (with the added smiley) comes over as reflecting a seller's perspective. Anyway, greed - or more specifically, avarice - has taken a grip of sellers and buyers. If buyers weren't paying silly prices, sellers wouldn't get the silly prices. But they do, and that just increases prices further. It's a continuous cycle fed by both those who buy and those who sell. It is greed (avarice) on the part of both parties. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

It is far from credible though to use as a guide, the prices are all over the place. Just look at the record in question that sparked this and as I said far too many have deserted ebay because of all the costs, postal issues and rising issues around fraud/theft.

Happy Feet Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Having only joined Soul Source during the Pandemic as a means of keeping in touch and listening to the excellent BVAN , apart from JM's and Tim Browns auction site , as there ever been a soul only sales auction, or buy now etc , website , I'm only asking because there as to be a solution to evilbay , it never gets a good revue , personally I've bought a lot and in most cases have been very happy with the results , but it sounds like the sellers suffer . I know there are lots of individual websites that cater for the soul followers , but a site that runs like evilbay is surely only interested in the amount of percentage they can make on each sale Inc extras , so why is it still so popular as an outlet and yet hated so much , apart from discogs , what else is there ?

Had to google "avarice" (english is not my native language) but I fully agree with you. Greedy sellers want as much money for their records. Were as (as it seems) there are many buyers out there who are so greedy to get certain records they are willing to pay way over the actual price. And it seems, those greedy buyers are all on JMs mailing list 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Yes, your smiley was just a bit of fun, but it added a an upbeat cheeriness to your statement about rising prices. Possibly that's not what you meant to convey. No worries, though, and my comment about avarice - affecting sellers and buyers - still stands. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Davey S Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Buying and selling vinyl has become just like stocks and shares buy low sell high , but it has never been any different , buying a record for 50c and selling it one for £100 quid it's not blatant greed it's suppling a demand we are all responsible for high prices .

Ernie Andrews Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Ive been trying to find what Craig Douglas went for an here it is. In past years Ive accused sellers of blatantly telling fairy stories to up a price and when I saw JM had listed this I was bemused with the description that was written! He said it was "UK only"! So what was this description trying to do?increase price or is JM that lazy these days he really doesnt give phook about being reasonably accurate! Just for JMs information it was released also in India on Stateside . South Africa & portugal on Pye and also in Brazil on Musidisc. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
