We always focus on whats gone for higher than expected prices, sometimes I am more interested in what if anything has gone at lower than expected price.

You don't see the Epsilons around that much and I would have expected it to go for more on one of John's auctions.

Be interested if others agree or if I'm wrong for a change!!

[Chalky]

Barbara St Clair - Teacherman - Crosseyed Bear £469

There's been at least two copies advertised for sale on here recently for £500, seen a couple out and about too for more or less the same. Great record!!!

[Guest Simon]

Candy + the Kisses - Mr Creator - Kent Town £58

I gave this away for nothing not that long ago, not bad but prefer the Apollas version personally.

[Guest Kevin J]

sweet jesus, i just sold my lenny curtis for half that price ... *kicking myself in the head*

Two things to make you feel better Kevin:

1) you sold it for the correct price

2) I sold my first copy for £5 in 1982 - even with inflation that only equates to about £100 today if that. Last one I had about 4 years back, I sold for £350.

this record is vastly overpriced, it's worth maybe £450. Because of these ridiculous auction prices, people start thinking that these are the prices they should be asking as it's the true value, and it's not.

Ive always liked it Martin I bought it for £2.50 from Soul Bowl , I seem to remember Pro Fasination and Tony Troutman in the same order three nice yellow lables there I thought ... Your taste seems to be like my 60's Mod mates , but you dont look as old as them ?

[Guest Kevin J]

no kidding. i really want to know who these people are that are paying so much for these records? dont they knows its making it bad for all of us? not as dealers, but simply as people who want to be able to afford records that they love so much they have to have. i seriously cannot see any reason for anyone to pay almost 2k for lenny curtis ... its a great record, but cummon!!

Kevin,

Don't understand the comment " seriously cannot see any reason for anyone to pay almost 2k for lenny curtis" ????

The finishing price was 984.00 not £1984 perhaps you looked at it quickly.

Hey John, wonder how much i'd get for my white End label (styrene) re-press (70s?)...it's even in a genuine End sleeve??? Great sound quality....are these (boots?) rare?

Just checked our data over the last 8 years we've had 5 original Lenny Curtis's for sale and only ONE white demo bootleg.. yes it surprised me too.

The white's are boots, the END sleeve is great worth @ least a fiver! you'd, maybe get up to £40 on the boot.. but the recent horrid End 001 bootlegs have diminished the demand for it.

Thanks for that John, a wealth of information as usual

Channel 3 - The Sweetest Thing c/w Someone Else's Arms - Dakar £261

In favour of Mr M...............aren't these two 45's above a good deal?

I've seen D & D go for £500+ and just how many copies of Channel 3 black issues (with the brill B side) have you ever seen?

imho bargains are still around (even at a JM auction!!!)

Cheers
