I buy Ska as well Pete, I just tend to keep it under my hat.

it says licensed exclusively to Soul Galore on it.

Spinning demonstration part 1

His prices weren't bad when the $ to £ was at 2:1 unfortunately he doesn't seem to have accounted for the fall in the £ over the last couple of years.

ps. PM me the sellers ID so I can avoid their auctions.

You could get three records sent Special Delivery for around about £6, so Second Class is just a joke. I recently bought an item off somebody on eBay and was charged £3.75 for postage - when the item arrived it only had £1.90 on the label - so I queried the charge. The seller sent me a snotty email saying that I had to pay for the packaging (all of which bar the packing tape happened to be recycled), their time packing and the 45 minutes it takes them to walk to the nearest Post Office, stating that these were all acceptable charges with eBays rules... I don't mind sellers 'rounding up' but charging practically double is taking a liberty. I left them negative feedback - stating that although the item was as described, their postage charges were ramped up and to avoid them because of this. I think if they are unwilling to cancel the transactions, or combine at a reasonable cost, then this is your only option.

Just seen a pretty common record come up on site for sale that IMO should be £30 tops (in fact I sold one for that in the last 12 months or so), yet the seller wants £80 for it. I can't imagine that demand for it has gone up since (if not fallen to be honest). Fcuking Mental.

Whenever I list a 70s bootleg on ebay i put something like this in the first line of the auction listing: Please note - this is not an original issue, but a copy produced for the 1970s(/80s/90s/current) Northern soul scene. That usually does the trick

As I feared. One for the tat box then...

More info..... The paper is rough to the touch. The ZTSC stamp is staggered. It's Vinyl not Styrene. I've had it a few years so I'm not sure whether it came from the U.S. or not.

Ropey printing on a rough paper label... but it's ZTSC stamped in the run-out... Thoughts please chaps?

Different 'Action' label isn't it?

Couple of Smash bits I turned up whilst looking for other stuff...

Here's a few missing items... UK Contempo "How Long" UK Contempo "Sweet Sherry" Canadian Trans - World "Chains Of Love"

Here's a Johnny Jones:

Jools Hollands face at 0.53 says it all....

I saw the auction and in the picture is clearly a boot - so i checked the text and saw 're-issue' clearly. A perfect case of Caveat Emptor. I'd slap a non-paying bidder on him and stick to my guns (but then I'm a belligerent fcuker). ps can you pm me his ID so I can add him to my 'numpty list' and block him from future sales.

nice one Rob, can't think of a more deserving home for it.

Not suprised Annabelle Fox went - it was half price in sellers book...

Does that make him a 'band-wagon jumper' then?
