Barry Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 ...then it isn't a problem. I can, up to about five grand that is, understand a person digging deep for a track. But beyond that, I do believe that you are either mad, or you are sending out a bit of a statement that goes beyond the actual need to own whatever piece of vinyl that you have spent what I see as a ridiculous amount on. Now I know, as I've said, if you can afford it it's not a problem. But does having enough money to enable you to make your dreams come true mean anything to us poor bastards that can't? Are you more of a Soulie than us poor feckers that scrimp? Not that I'm jealous or owt!
Barry Posted February 13, 2009 Author Posted February 13, 2009 Malc where are you? Once again I've spent three hours on here attempting to prise a reply from someone, unsuccesfully. So, seeing as I've just drained me last drop of Shiraz (Oops did I say that out loud?), I'm off to bed, once again defeated by this deafening wall of silence. Night.

To be fair to us Barry...it wasn't one of your best Mate.

No but it makes you an instant top DJ
Phild Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 No but it makes you an instant top DJ But only if you start your own night with yourself headlining
Sanquine Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Remember the old adage - "Be careful what you wish for, because you might just get it".... "Another's" name in thick pen across the label possibly Karen
Cover-up Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 I can, up to about five grand that is, understand a person digging deep for a track. When I tell (normal) people I paid £20 for a record they think that's a lot of money. If you can understand paying five grand for a record - where's the leap in craziness to paying, oooh, six grand. Or maybe the next one will be seven grand...

Barry Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 To be fair to us Barry...it wasn't one of your best Mate. Understood Dave, and you're quite right. It is difficult for me sometimes and I do have to scrape the barrel question-wise, as I think on me feet when I'm on here. I guess I'm just lonely.

Personally i can't see the point nowdays there's too much other stuff about. I suppose people pay a lot of money for a work of art so why not. Are they buying it as an investment or for the love.
