I believe this record is a scam. Compare the picture to the one in the closed auction, and consider the seller has 0 feedback and just registered

I know I'm not very active here so my word could be suspect as well. I have no personal interest in this. I am pretty sure the same seller (under a different name) tried (and failed) to scam me about 3 months ago. Just review the evidence and decide for yourself.

Why not get the scammer, oops I mean 'seller' to divulge the

credits to Voodoo Woman on other side as a check and see

what happens If he dont reply then say goodbye.... :thumbsup:

If he really has got a copy and expects big bucks surely he

wont mind co-operating with a prospective bidders questions

will he ?

Hi,

Thats wierd, one of these sold on Ebay only last week in the UK. Originally started off at a price of £875 Buy It Now and the description said that this was the last chance to buy this record at this price & it would not drop any further in price!

As the days went by, the Buy It Now Price kept reducing by £25 at a time until it eventually sold for £700!

At the time I thought that was a bit strange but it could be totally coincidental & genuine so apologies if it is!?

Anyone else see it?

Well, if I was to buy a record for $1000+ I wouldn´t turn to a guy with a eBay user name implying it´s a greek mobster selling it. Even the mafia would understand that you need at least a few positive feedbacks when you sell big money items. Looks well dodgy in my opinion... :thumbsup:

I'm glad I got mine back in 1990/91 for £70.00 lol and I've kept it all this time, minefield now it seems this record collecting lark, just be careful everyone on this one.

Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Jesus Christ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're firing-off all over the place now .....

There hasn't been a box full found...

More like a container load.

Click on the link above for the sold item ....

In the but similar items box, there's another one for sale with six days left ...

A seller in Michigan again, this time with BIG feedback ...

(Think he's sold them before).

He's got feedback from a different Mandingo issue.

Got mine cheap back in the day too - 40 quid, reduced from 50 because it had the cover up tape around the run out :lol: . I wouldn't mind getting hold a brand spanking new one though, $600 max, now it's finally turned up.

m spivens is the guy in detroit who has found some copies. its the third one he`s put on ebay

although some guys have had second chance offers. the mafia guy is a one off up to now.

lets not bandy the words "container load" about just yet. could be harmful to what is still a

great record. lets see what happens eh :( remember a few dealers were selling the clara hardy 45

Dave Just asking what do you think of a seller who knows there are 500 copies cos hees found 2 boxes full and lets them go every couple of months to keep the price high when infact the true rarity price might be around half or a third of the current price.Do you think that hes morally right or wrong to keep the price inflated.

I see him as no better than the bootleggers although I understand why - MONEY! :P:D:lol:

Q1 - is the general consensus,m spivens has turned up a box of 100, they are original,but are now worth less than half what people have paid recently ie. £500 or less now

Q2 - how long does it take for 100 once rare recrods to disapear into collections and the price to soar once again

Q3 - how often, after a box has turned up, does another box turn up

as you can probably tell i too have been offered 1

shep :lol:

what im saying is that 1 hes been very cagey and 2 no one knows the facts except

mr spivens him or herself. time will tell. yes i do have a vested interest in the 45 and

dont want to lose money cos im a pauper laugh.gif

REMEMBER THIS HAPPENING TO BETTY LLOYD ABOUT 15 YEARS OR SO AGO. THINK IT WAS A £300+ 45. COPIES WERE FOUND DONT REMEMBER HOW MANY BUT THEY WWERE EV'RYWHERE FOR A WHILE BOTTOMED OUT AT £50 QUID, THEN THEY ALL DISAPPEARED. NOW IT,S BACK UP AT £300+. THINK THE FOUR TRACKS MAY BOTTOM OUT AT £300 BUT SURE TO RISE AGAIN AND WHO KNOWS WHAT NEXT WILL TURN UP MAYBE THE TOMANGOES COS ALL THATS EVER TURNED UP OF THAT ITEM IS USED COPIES, THE OLD STORE STOCK MUST BE OUT THERE ...SURELY. :wink: .

BRI PINCH.

Interesting to see that one of the bidders on the currenty ebay offering has bid 59 times (!) inbetween what is roughly half an hour, each time adding about 0.20 cents... :thumbsup:

I call then nibblers, I did it in the past when I was new to Ebay.

But 56 friking bids the guys a complete nutter he should get a life, what else dose he do in his spare time. :lol::wicked::shhh:no.gif

I ain't got time to put 56 of these buggers up.
