Dave Thorley Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Ofcourse Kev, neither could exist that would be just too rediculous
Guest ScooterNik Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 That would be a doddle... but imagine trying to get funding to set up a site selling NS records? "Let me get this right.. you want to try and sell 40 year old records that nobody wanted at the time of release for hundreds of pounds?" "In short, yes" "Sorry John, I'm out" etc.
