  1. I am new to collecting and dont know much about Nothern Soul or Southern Soul. I recently bought a box of 1,000 45s off of Ebay (mostly 70s/80s rock) and one of the records in the box

    Richard Marks , Tuska , Never Satisfied

    Looks clean and almost unplayed.

    I looked on Popsike and see 2 that have sold, both of which were 6 years ago and the prices ranged wildly 169 and 1500.

    Can anyone give me any information about this record? I tried the Ebay board and Record Collector Guild board but all I got was crickets. The records store guy here offered me 200 bucks in trade but this seems low , I know the economy is horrible here but it seems like it should be better.

    If you've checked popsike on the value you'll already know that one alone is worth considerably more than $200! Your best bet is either to take the best offer from the many PMs you've probably had, or re-bay it and see what it makes. Feel free to divulge the detail on the garage full of records, too, if you like :D

  2. True, I can see the concern about someone bidding something up to inflate the price, but it's not always the case that shill bidding is going on (even if it is in your case). Jesse Gomez seems to have come out of the woodwork in the past year or so whereas before it was a tricky one to find, so maybe your guy got a batch of them and wants to move them on. On occasion when I've had a couple of copies of something I'll offer a 2nd copy to the 2nd highest bidder because it's a quick way to sell another record - usually the price they want to pay is close to the top bid so it's worthwhile. Even if it means 5 mins after the auction closes. I explain that I've got a 2nd copy and it's here if they want it.

  3. Understand the gist of the argument but equally if you're bidding on something, then you want it, right? So if you're offered a copy, having not won the auction copy, for your maximum bid (which'll be less than the winning bidder) surely you're happy(?) I think the offical 2nd chance thing means that you can only be offered a copy at your top bid. I know the psychology of 2nd chance offers always raises the 'how may has this guy got?' question as well as (sometimes) the 'I only want it if I'm the winner...if I'm second and another one comes up I'm not interested any more' kind of feeling. Sure, some sellers are probably using ebay to gauge a top end price on that auction and then hope to farm off a stack to other bidders. But if you wanted something 30 seconds ago and then don't want it having not won it, sometimes that's a bit odd.

  4. Here`s info for::force - this cold cold world - aferton

  5. I did ask him (J D Hall) if they were originals (the ones that clearly aren't first presses) and he was vague in that he said they were done 'some time after the first presses). Looks like another case of seeing how much the real, proper rare ones were fetching and wanting some of the action. $20 for the repress seems right now.

  6. Yeah, the 'later' copies are definitely not the proper real 'gold dust' copies. Holding both side by side you can feel that the ones that turned up weren't from the same batch as the previous real ones, though trying to describe it over the net is pretty tough. The later ones have a more orange coloured label and as I seem to recall they were quite glossy in feel. And as Sebastian says, the print was dot-matrix style, kinda of fuzzy around the edges too. Very odd. The funny thing was that the image the guy used to sell the 45s on Ebay with was actually clearly scanned from an older pressing, but when they arrived it was like, 'err, what's this then'. I did ask him when these were made and he said 'sometime after the first pressing' or words to that effect. I think most people who have been around records for a while would have felt the same as I did when I held it: that it wasn't the same age as the real copy I had in the other hand.
