Seems the record mountain is growing out there on a daily basis, the vast amount of quality records coming up for sale here on Soul Source alone is incredible, prices seem to be hitting their true level as often records have to be reduced or offered at below so called book prices, then there is Ebay, all the major and minor record dealers, collectors, DJ's wheeling, dealing, trading it would seem that there is a glut of records which are simply not selling, certain big ticket records will always sell but even some of these struggle to reach premium prices, looking at Ebay there are dozens of records on offer at 'buy it now' prices which are just sitting there, many of the auction records on Ebay are selling well below book prices so has the bubble finally burst, seems that many people are trying to sell stuff from their collections and it would seem a good time to pick up nice collection additions if you have a few quid to spend, are we getting to the point when no one wants some of these records? the record mountain seems to be growing and is huge in size. I've got to the stage that I still love and enjoy the music but I'm less bothered of actually owning or keeping some of the tunes and it would seem that many others are feeling the same.
