Agree with Pete and Chalky.... would look a tw*t.... Tells a story about some things some people find on YouTube when "searching" NS.... Same guy.... same dance.... different record edit .... Moto is.... DON'T always believe what you see on YT .... ">

This is probably an early example of the "sellers dilemma" now on ebay.... buyers can "almost demand" money back for items received stating " such as above".... sellers are almost compelled to respond to the buyer's demands so that no "negative" is received with the assured confidence that the seller can't respond with a "negative".... Absolut b*ll*x to the sellers.... a "god's gift" to the buyers.... what I mean is a buyer receives the item then "makes out" that it is shoddy in some way and so wants a refund.... and the refund involves a "free" replacement or a "full refund" with them keeping" the item thus having the same outcome.... bid, complain and get for free.... F*ck asking for photos because the buyer can manipulate the packaging and probably also "doctor" the item in any photo programme.... You've done the right thing.... f*ck them off and offer a full refund including return postage costs upfront.... then sit back and wait for "excuse" not to do so but still want full refund with no return of item.... To me that sort of reply means you have now "got them".... the next question would be why "not accept full refund plus return postage".... then forward all to ebay and "hope" they have the decency to "side with the seller" on this instance.... An acceptence of your offer could indicate they have a "genuine gripe" and are being "honest and upfront".... But then again it could mean "I've tried it on and lost" but it's not cost owt and they will try to do the same with someone else .... or is that being too pessamistic about buyers with the new ebay rules .... p.s. hope you get sorted "properly" however it turns out .... Edit after posting.... chances are ,she already had a copy that is abused,and has used you to obtain a decent copy,without paying for it. That's another thought on it....

As it is now Tuesday Mike.... suggest you close this thread as it seems we are continuing with the "rest of the week type posts" .... But don't give up.... re-open other "Monday fun" threads everyday this week .... Seriously though.... no offence to "karl" meant by this reply but if anybody "reads" a thread you should "accept" that "sh*t" can, and will, happen in replies.... sometimes.... that's life.... leave the "thread" alone if it upsets you.... too much more important things to worry about in our "short existence" on this planet....

Bit of self reflection on your post wouldn't go a miss.... especially the hightlighted bit done for you

Nowt Pete nowt.... honest guv .... Well.... maybe perhaps reflecting on a few "choice" comments I've read in the past on here regarding topics/records/etc. .... not that they weren't called for at times ....

Having to leave "positive" to state what you want is bollox like Pete says.... Having just looked though it seems ebay have removed it.... not the "positive" counting towards positive, if you get me, but the actual "comments".... disgraceful and shame on them.... Hey Katie.... contact ebay and see if they'll get rid of your "negative" explaining reasons.... you never know....

Polite .... taking it that it wasn't the usual "there fookin boots mate" type of thing that gets sent by us SS'ers .... Nice to see with a seller with integrety stating they'll offer refund.... Suppose that bit depends if the "buyer" isn't a numpty though that knows no better ....

It's not just you Ted.... t'was my first thought when listened....

From your perspective on the above example I'd agree Mike.... what with ensuring "things are in order" and all that... From my point of view the number of views and replies, or lack of them, tells you how many actually lay credence to that type of thread IMO... those that do reply usually "type" summat to say what, I suspect, the vast majority that read it are thinking.... and then the thread "quickly" disappears from the front page.... The sh*te promoters, crap events, etc., etc., that you mention.... usually between a few, concerning a few and of little importance to others.... that happens on any forum IMO.... So yes.... "live and let live" ....

OK on topic Mike.... Seems to be with some of the thread content these days.... Depends how much they effect you or you let them effect you I suppose.... Personally the words pinch and salt come to mind....

Not another one .... How do you go on with those that have the label name slanted, down the side or curvy Joe.... I mean how do you work out which way is 12 .... Give us a clue pal because that bit stumps me ....

These are all a fellow Soul Sourcers sales.... Had other "big" tunes listed on here in Sales in the recent past....

Noticed that myself Harry.... be interesting to know what the "reserve" is or if it gets reached ....

Not too sure myself Pete.... maybe due to scanner/camera.... But having looked at all the pics I've only just now noticed the different label layouts.... not took that much notice of this before now ....

Taking it you really like this one then Mark.... buying a second copy.... And are you going to be playing it out back to back on each deck to decide which side you prefer.... wonder if the punters would notice after a few beers

Understand where your coming from Rob but not half as much fun as "silly bidding" though.... plus, as Rich stated, ebay either know jack-sh*t or don't care most of the time when it comes to counterfeit/bootleg records going through their site.... after all it's still income for them from the listing and end value fees.... Now.... if the "price" starts to go daft through a few bidding "silly" on it then he/she would surely twig on that bidders were "wise" and remove it him/herself.... if not look at the final fees they'll have to stump up.... and, of course, not paying these will get them deregistered anyway....

Reckon the low feedback and the fact "lovelydisc" and "shytownsaint" appear to having something going on would "set alarm bells ringing" as you say.... Plus current high bidder seems to be "getting in on the act" .... manage et trois .... Is this one of those where SS'ers should get bidding indiscriminately to try and get a point across ....

So.... still another planet then .... only kidding .... Actually.... I don't dislike the the EE version.... just lean towards JB personally.... Hope all is well with you ....

Thought you would Kirsty.... The book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" comes to mind ....

Don't think there's much in it, if anything at all, price wise between issues and demos.... Not sure about there being any mis-spelled copies.... is there .... As for Eboney Essence being better .... it's all about personal choice ....

Got pointed in the diection of this web site over the weekend.... a site put up by someone called "Al Kent".... anyone know of him?.... Anyway here's the link.... > TAPE MIXES < If you ignore the "disco" reference on the site you'll find some old tape recording from Wigan, Mecca and Soul Essence among the recordings on this page.... Couple up up by Graham Judson (anybody know him?).... one from Wigan's "last ever allnighter" (perm any one from the "last" ones ).... a Soul Essence one from 1995 featuring SS'ers Rod Dearlove and Gavin Page along with Soul Sam.... one from Levine at "tiffany's" (which one?) in 1976.... Plus other soul, funk, rare groove and jazz funk type stuff...

Mal.... Steve always signs off with ATB (all the best) ....

Thread already up about it Sean .... > HERE <
