Guest Trevski Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) Just followed the link on the front page to Mr Moerer's auction https://cgi.ebay.com/rare-Northern-Soul-45-...6QQcmdZViewItem I know there may be a few snipers out there, but I still find it amazing that such a Quality slice of glorious, mid-tempo, female vocal, Detroit Soul, is not a lot higher $$ with one day to go. Especially when piles of much commoner, utter tripe fetch much more! Anyone with taste, put in that snipe! Edited March 17, 2009 by Trevski Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

People who dally on the 'bay know where / what to do - I just hate having eBay shoved in my face every day - mind you - I feel the same about all corporates, Starbucks / McDonalds etc etc - all part of a massive global pain in the jacksy...

MRez I personally love it. I can't be bothered setting searches & stuff, and I don't have too much time to browse. So it's really helpful to see that little box up in the top right. See a title you want, click on the link, pay over the odds for it and hey presto! it's yours. Quality! Phil Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The one on refosoul is right, I posted it, but what's an rpm here or there? The one on my last played clip will take you there, if you can't be bothered searching. With regard to AD's Amazon pi*s me of with their recommendations too!

I know most sellers don't use goldmine grading etc but they say a vg record is worht just 25% the value of a near mint one and for a vg+ 50%.

Well said Bob Yes inevitibly ,there is that Big ebay ad spoiling it for most of us to bag a rare record for a bargain ,but if it helps pay for our wonderful forum ,then that's fine with me. Still ,there's no need for people to keep alerting every man and his dog to potential big ticket bargains. How about waiting till it finishes and then posting up "some lucky ba****d just won this mega rarity for f**k all Edited March 22, 2009 by NORTHERN NEV Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 So 2 vg copies of the same record should cost like a vg+ copy? what would you charge for the same record in vg, vg+ & NM? for the sake of arguement it costs £350 nm/m. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

How does the ad work in selecting what appears on soul source? from what i've seen of it no real bargains in it just the popular stuff most who use ebay will have seen anyway.

I'm sort of paranoid about how they work because not everything is keyed off of generic terms like "northern soul", etc. I think maybe ebay uses watch or view statistics to determine what will be popular. I don't want them using what I've watched in my watch items to show other people things... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Im no geek Bob but i have a website in my faves that logs the most popular records on ebay and it even tells me how many people are watching those records I can tell you ,right now there are 99 people watching imperial c's and 127 watching second ressurection That amounts to either a load of nosey parkers or a lot of snipes waiting to pounce Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I've got three I.D's, Dylan. Works great until you bid against yourself on a high priced piece, as I did a couple of years ago. Accidentally logged in under a different name to check how an item was going and was shocked to see some anonymous bidder was in front - so I wacked a pile on it! I ended up being the winning and second bidder on the same item under two different names! Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Taking out ads based on them still takes it one level further though. Either way, it's not going away any time soon so no use in me bitching about it.

Could do with a link to one of those. but probably a lot of people just watching out of curiosity and a small number of bidders i'd say. like the matues 45 in my watched items.

Tommaso Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 what would you charge for the same record in vg, vg+ & NM? for the sake of arguement it costs £350 nm/m. If it's 350£ NM, I'd say 250£ vg+ and 160 vg (IMVHO). Of course it all depends on what we mean for vg, I consider vg a record that can still be played out.

I wonder if you create 50 ebay user IDs, do an auction, and watch your items if you can get your auctions featured in the sales link here and other places...
