Trev Thomas Posted November 9, 2008 Author Posted November 9, 2008 How many has he sold previously? he's been knocking them out for the past 6 months, as soon as one sells he lists another
Prophonics 2029 Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 I have been seeing 2 a week for a while now.
Phild Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 The boot must be as rare now. So what's the original worth now? Cheers Phil
Mike E Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 So what's the original worth now? Cheers Phil I reckon its gotta be down to around £600 now, thats half of what Tim Brown has it listed for
Sebastian Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 So what's the original worth now? All of these were sold by the same seller during the past year: 2007-08-12 - $3050 2008-02-25 - $2025 2008-03-05 - $1575 2008-03-18 - $1179 2008-03-26 - $1136 2008-03-31 - $917 2008-04-18 - $1120 2008-04-26 - $1128 2008-05-02 - $1075 2008-05-09 - $889 2008-10-30 - $918 2008-11-09 - $841 There were lots of copies sold during May-September as well, but I don't have the price info on those. These were from other sellers: 2008-03-11 - $869 2008-10-15 - $820
Dave Moore Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Wonder if the first buyer feels 'duped'? Great record and one that was hard to find for long time. 100 extra copies? Doesn't seem that many in the big scheme of things.
Mike E Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 All of these were sold by the same seller during the past year: 2007-08-12 - $3050 2008-02-25 - $2025 2008-03-05 - $1575 2008-03-18 - $1179 2008-03-26 - $1136 2008-03-31 - $917 2008-04-18 - $1120 2008-04-26 - $1128 2008-05-02 - $1075 2008-05-09 - $889 2008-10-30 - $918 2008-11-09 - $841 There were lots of copies sold during May-September as well, but I don't have the price info on those. These were from other sellers: 2008-03-11 - $869 2008-10-15 - $820 Looks like my initial figure of £600 as about right. The law of supply and demand ain't wong
Dave Pinch Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 i think (know) he got greedy for a while and had em up at buy it now @$1300 but couldnt shift them now hes decided to let the market do the talking which is common sense really. mine stands me @150 quid so im not that bothered but you have to feel for all the people who paid a lot for it. swings and roundabouts i suppose dave
Guest carl_p Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 I bought his first copy on 2/12/08 for $1136. he listed it as "1960'S SOUL RECORD FOUR TRACKS TOMMY L.JONES MANDINGO" i don't think he had a clue about records but was able to copy the information from elsewhere. Thinking he might have a couple copies i asked if he had more copies. I got spooked when he told me he had 100 copies. I have to give him credit he was honest about it. i'm sure he'd consider an offer on the balance if anyone is interested.

I got a second chance offer after you outbid me Carl - he told me he had a 25 box with one missing so 24. Not very truthful huh

Nick Soule Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 From what I've heard, the guy found a few hundred of them(500-600 if not more), split the lot with a guy in England, and it's fixing to be the next Clara Hardy.
boba Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 From what I've heard, the guy found a few hundred of them(500-600 if not more), split the lot with a guy in England, and it's fixing to be the next Clara Hardy. i doubt this is true, where is the british seller selling them? why would he want to wait until it was cheap? i believe the 100 story. anyways, I bought one at $900 when it just came out, I didn't know how many there really were but didn't want to gamble on losing it if there just were a few. if there's 100 it won't drop much lower and will go back up quickly. if there's more it will be the next clara hardy.
Albert Petit Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Nice! I will be able to buy a copy in 5/6 months... 2007-08-12 - $3050 2008-02-25 - $2025 2008-03-05 - $1575 2008-03-18 - $1179 2008-03-26 - $1136 2008-03-31 - $917 2008-04-18 - $1120 2008-04-26 - $1128 2008-05-02 - $1075 2008-05-09 - $889 2008-10-30 - $918 2008-11-09 - $841
pikeys dog Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 How many Danny Moores were found? That was a decent 'three figure' record before they turned up, and now its a solid 70 quidder. I wouldn't pay more than £200 for a Four Tracks at the minute, any more than that is too much of a gamble I.M.O.

I wouldn't pay more than £200 for a Four Tracks at the minute, any more than that is too much of a gamble I.M.O. I know people who spent £1000+ on one in past. Don't think they would find this happy reading. Suppose we will have to wait and see how many this guy does have after all. 100 sounds a bit high to me. IMO
pikeys dog Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 I also refused a Clara Hardy and a Dream Team at the £400 mark, and look what they are fetching now... 100 copies is a lot to hit the market in one go - it's got to dramatically affect the price, surely?
Marc Forrest Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 I know people who spent £1000+ on one in past. Don't think they would find this happy reading. Suppose we will have to wait and see how many this guy does have after all. 100 sounds a bit high to me. IMO Well, why not ? I once paid 1200 UKP for my copy when it still was a very rare 45, don`t regret buying it for the nice time the record gave to me before the haul was opened. You never know what will be find next and what not, its all in the gamble thats called collecting I suppose ? Marc
Chalky Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 I also refused a Clara Hardy and a Dream Team at the £400 mark, and look what they are fetching now... 100 copies is a lot to hit the market in one go - it's got to dramatically affect the price, surely? What's Clara Hardy fetching now? I know the price dropped with a bump from the £1000 plus it was selling but I know of copies sold for around £400 even after the quantity find was known about, personally wouldn't give no more than £75/£100 for it. 100 copies will have an affect for a while but once they've gone and demand is again greater than supply the price will rise again.

Last Clara Hardy I saw was £150.... Dream Team dropped as low as £100, Not actively looking for either, so they could be even less now without me knowing.
Chalky Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Last Clara Hardy I saw was £150.... Dream Team dropped as low as £100, Not actively looking for either, so they could be even less now without me knowing. DreamTeam was £50 or £75 weren't they on Shifty's list, didn't he buy what was left?
pikeys dog Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Possibly Chalky, stopped paying attention when it was going for a oner on eBay.
Des Crombie Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I got a second chance offer after you outbid me Carl - he told me he had a 25 box with one missing so 24. I met him at the Austin record fair where he had one on display. He also told me he had originally found a box of 24.
Marc Forrest Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 DreamTeam was £50 or £75 weren't they on Shifty's list, didn't he buy what was left? He bought the rest thats true and sold them at 100 UKP then at something significantly less...has he still copies ? Don`t think so as they did not appear on his list for a long time. Marc
Marc Forrest Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 100 copies will have an affect for a while but once they've gone and demand is again greater than supply the price will rise again. True. Just take a look at Betty Lloyd...even fetching (again) more these days then before they were found early nineties .
Dave Moore Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 True. Just take a look at Betty Lloyd...even fetching (again) more these days then before they were found early nineties . Hi Marc, I think one of the main reasons for the price resurgence in 45s like Betty Lloyd etc is the fact that many people who returned to the UK scene hadn't heard these records first time round. Once they wanted to start DJing then it was scramble to find something 'different' (at least to their ears).

Once they wanted to start DJing then it was scramble to find something 'different' (at least to their ears). most of the people that have come back to the scene in the last 10 years still havent heard of the four tracks dave
Chalky Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) most of the people that have come back to the scene in the last 10 years still havent heard of the four tracks dave dunno why not, its been played often enough Edited November 13, 2008 by chalky
