Nice one !! Opinions eh? We've all got 'em, but the only one that matters to me is MINE

Good job I didn't put that $23,887.00 bid on then

That's the assumption I'm making

I've had two different stories from two different PO's regarding 1st Class recorded...... One says that records can't be classed as letters, even though it fits through the Large Letters slot, therefore must be sent as a Packet and charged £2.37. The other says no problem, and classes them as Large Letters (£1.65). The only reference to this that I can find anywhere on the Royal Mail website quotes, gifts such as books, etc, should be sent as Packets but no specific mention of records. The last batch of records I sent went as a mixture of the two, but the packets only went as packets because they didn't fit through the Large Letters slot. As you might have guessed, I will be using the 2nd PO for now, until I get definite confirmation that records are not valid letters.

** ENDING TONIGHT SUNDAY 31st January ** All these ending tonight between 6.45pm and 8.10pm. Still plenty potential bargains for ya HERE'S THE LINK -> https://shop.ebay.co....&_ipg=50&_sop=1

Remembered seeing one on a sales list on here, thought it was last year, but it was a bit earlier than that.... was £35 then and errm it looks like you just missed it by an hour, as you posted on the thread. https://www.soul-sour..._1entry901910

Hey up Pete, Fancy sorting out a Soul Source Savings & Credit Union Just a thought like

Proof, if ever it were needed, of the high level of trust, faith and respect with which we soulies hold each other. What a fantastic thread this is !! Wonderful !!

Hiya Pete, You Got Funds mate!!! Great gesture!! Hope all's well that end's well. Best wishes for Christmas and New Year.

Think you've stumbled onto something here Pete. What influence has the appearance of said price "guides" had on prices? John Manship quotes his guide as representing values achieved through his auctions. Usually, tip-top mint condition records, being auctioned by a dealer who is respected by the majority of collectors. You would expect a reasonable premium on these particular prices. The problem of course, is whether that is then taken as "the price". I find it exptremely difficult to stomach VG+ or even EX+ records being quoted with prices based around these guides. There's just been a very decent copy of Rose St John/Wonderettes - Mend My Broken Heart finished on Ebay. I've seen this 6 times in set sales in the last couple of months at varying prices and conditions between £125 and £175. The one on Ebay has gone for $115, approximately £75. I do hope auctions set the future values, as that for me is much more realistic.

With some of the cracking stuff that's been coming up lately, it'll be more like "Buying Want's Forces Reluctant House Sale",
