Credit Crunch

[pikeys dog]

Anyone get a gage of what was for sale at Cleethorpes? Were there any 'holy grails' on offer there?

Bit of a skewed market, big weekenders - people are more likely to chance their arm at selling big figure rarities there - whereas the rest of the year they wouldn't even bother.

Now if someone turns up with a box of Shrine singles at your local oldies do - then it's time to start wondering...

It might be my imagination, but there seems to be an upsurge in the volume of records up for sale in the last 3 month. Plus a couple of heavy weight collectors starting to sell some of their stuff off. Anyone get a gage of what was for sale at Cleethorpes? Were there any 'holy grails' on offer there?

Definetely true Simon. Yarmouth this year had a mass of heavyweight items, and dealers in attendance.

IMVHO I think the only collectors/ sellers losing out big style are the ' cheque book charlies' who scurry round to purchase the must have 45s. They are over inflated in price and people in the know can smugly say ' Oh I bought that new in 197? whatever.

Not sure we are sitting a pot of gold though . If new followers arent attracted eventually the credit crunch will cause a drying up of buyers on the Scene dont you agree?
