Guest uroffal Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Anyone know what the Bobby Womack finally sold for on Manship's auction?
Chalky Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Anyone know what the Bobby Womack finally sold for on Manship's auction? link Why was it auctioned in the first place?
Guest uroffal Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Why was it auctioned in the first place? link Well, it certainly shocked me (especially when I saw at £101 at about midday today!)
Petebangor Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Anyone know what the Bobby Womack finally sold for on Manship's auction? link £127
Guest uroffal Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 £127 link Cheers for that. Now who wants to buy a nice mint pic sleeve!
Guest uroffal Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Cheers for that. Now who wants to buy a nice mint pic sleeve! link Ahhh, Manship's auctions a constant source of amusement coupled with complete and utter bewilderment!
Guest Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 What worries me is the tw*t who paid that money will have a vote at the next election Derek
Guest uroffal Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Was it one of these that bought it....... link
Guest Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Was it one of these that bought it....... link Bit harsh on the muppets mate Derek
Guest Awake 502 Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Ahhh, Manship's auctions a constant source of amusement coupled with complete and utter bewilderment! link A record is only worth what someone is willing to pay, saying that JM seems to constantly get better prices than anyone else. He has sold items for me in the past via his auctions and I have been very pleased with the sevice I had from him. Unlike my dealings with other :graywanker: I could mention....If you were selling rare items who would you deal with ?

People whinge about prices being too high but if they're selling are more than happy to sell their records for the same high prices they take the piss out of other 'muppets' for paying!! I've done it myself. Roger

I've done it myself. Roger link I doubt I would even contemplate putting the Bobby Womack up for auction and would never have sold it for that price. It's a record that IMO should have had a reasonable set price on it
Nickg Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Could someone let me in on the big secret, what Bobby Womack track was it ? Thanks Nick
Guest Brian Ellis Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Hi Nick It was 'So many sides of you' on Motown. Brian

Unlike my dealings with other :graywanker: I could mention....If you were selling rare items who would you deal with ? link Absolutely agree, he has sold items for me in the past too and, likewise, the service was excellent (as was the price he achieved) and I'm not knocking Manship, or the people who buy from him, because he has built an excellent reputation for good service and quality, well graded items. What amuses (and bewilders) is that people are often buying in to the marketing and then paying well over the odds for records that, as Chalky points out, should really be set sale items.
stomper45 Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 just bought 3 records from John (not mainstream stuff) cost £ 105, listed elsewhere at £ 290, nobody forces anyone, its supply and demand, same with houses .. we dont say hey i only paid 50K for this place 10 years ago dont give me £ 250K lets say 80K m8..., if someone is flush they'll pay top dollar and seller will take it. Seems if your broke and want a decent price for your record send em to JM Danny
Guest Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 I certainly wasn't having a dig at John Manship, i have a lot of time for the guy and his massive contribution to the scene . I just can't understand the amounts people are willing to pay for records which are not by any means rare. Derek

I just can't understand the amounts people are willing to pay for records which are not by any means rare. Derek link Exactly. I'd say that almost any week you could pick up a copy of Bobby Womack on ebay for considerably less than £127, or elsewhere for probably little more than a few pounds, so why keep bidding an item, that is blatantly not rare, to a ridiculous sum? Just wait for the next one, which in this case would be just around the corner.

Does this now mean that 'So Many Sides' now has a market value of over a hundred quid? You can guarantee somebody will ask that for future sale copies, it's what happened with Bettye Swann all those years ago, a £25 record went over £200 in one fell swoop because of one prat, same with Arse Speculum and the Futures 'Party Time Drone'. One born every minute. All good fun watching it from the outside though!!

Guest dodger Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 I bet the copy of Tolbert 'I've Got It' on Rojac on there at the moment fetches just a little bit more. A fight to the death if ever there was one!!!
Guest dodger Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 Modern boys up early this morning, eh? link Errr, I start work at 8, Dave lad!! :angry:
