Any chance of a track list or link to it?

About a year ago, I put some record up on ebay, can't remember what it was, and I put in the description "this is not the original, it's a very high quality counterfeit" and I mentioned it on Soul Source so people could see I was being honest. Within an hour, someone on Soul Source reported me to ebay for selling a counterfeit item

I'll put the whole thing up in perfect quality if I'm not going to become victim of a vendetta!

Updated, thanks to those who bought, need 400 quid sharpish to buy another boxful so if anyone wants to lend it me, I'll cook you dinner for a week

It's sold but will send up a scan tomorrow

PETE SMITH 28 JENKS ROAD WOMBOURNE WOLVERHAMPTON WV5 0BL 01902 893569 Pete.smith@freeuk.com petesmithrecords@hotmail.com DAVID & RUBEN - I LOVE HER SO MUCH IT HURTS ME - WARNER BROS EX 250 This is that beautiful green issue copy. Never had one before, doubt if I'll have one again. Lovely piece for someone to keep! THE JETS - EVERYTHING I DO / I WAS BORN WITH IT - PORT DEMO EX 40 Used to be the A side but now the B side is getting played LINDA ELLIOT - FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU BABY - JOSIE EX 75 This is pretty hard anyway but this is on Italian Josie demo! What's the chances of turning another of these up? By the way, the labels are on the wrong sides...apart from that...a stunner! ERIC & THE VIBRATIONS - VIBRATIONS (MADE US FALL IN LOVE) - SOULHAWK DJ EX 50 Nice midtempo/crossover sound, bargain MELVIN ELLING - LONELY EYES - STRETCH EX- 100 This is EX really but has a tiny bit of crackle at the start..whatever, doubt you'll ever see a cheaper copy of a truly brilliant midtempo dancer LEVON & THE HAWKS - HE DON'T LOVE YOU / STONES I THROW - ATCO VG+ 30 Bit of crackle here and there, looks a bit scruffy. Stones I Throw slightly lesser nick. Postage... 1 x 7" = £1.50 (20p each extra) Recorded delivery add 70p. Special delivery £5. Europe 1 x 7" = £2 Elsewhere 1 x 7" = £2.50 I TAKE ALL CREDIT CARDS. PAYPAL IS OK IF YOU PAY THE 4% CHARGE

Cheers Steve, if only it were mine..

AL SCOTT - WHAT HAPPENED TO YESTERDAY - GENUINE WHITE DEMO The condition is vg+ as it has tiny surface marks, plays EXCELLENT, no noise. This is one of only 2-3 known copies and is mega rare. John Manship sold an issue a couple of weeks back for £2800. Looking for £2500 for this copy.

You're just being pedantic now. Lainie Hill is northern soul. Carole King is pop/rock. You ever seen a photo of Lainie Hill incidentally?

Yes they did evolve into the real thing and Ivor Raymonde's name appears on countless UK 60's records. Think he did David Bowie's Deram album, eh Tone?

Stick the sound clip up then, I sent it you didn't I - then lost my own!

hang on, it gets better - I got a reply to my letter of complaint.. Dear Peter Smith, Thank you for contacting us in relation to the status of your Buyer Complaint ( PP-252-069-387 ). I have now forwarded this information to the relevant department for further review. Please allow them at least 30 days to process and review this information.

This is true.

That could be arranged and would be hilarious I bet! The bleep machine would go into meltdown

4 miles as the crow flies

From the discussion group 'We understand that the recent visibility change wasn't good news for UK sellers. We made the change for the good of the wider global marketplace - it was the right business decision for us to make, and we had to put UK interests behind global ones. We understand the feelings about this and expect criticism, but we completely draw the line at personal abuse or insult. It is unacceptable under any circumstances. Cheers Richard'

Er...I didn't make a track list...though they might all be in the same order if I go grab the records

Just wanted to update you on this. After a month and a week I had to ring them again and they more or less told me to stop ringing and just email them. So I did that. So far, 3 phone calls and 4 emails with no response at all from paypal. Then, 3 days ago, I find that the case has been closed. I didn't find this out by them emailing me and telling me the result of their investigations, just by going into my paypal account and seeing it wasn't there! No money has been refunded to my account and there is no explanation as to what happened with the case. There is a an entry, paypal balance adhustment, where they have put $22 into my account, this is nowhere near the $96 I was claiming, and there's no explanation as to what it is for. So to sum up, after over 5 weeks, they have not emailed me or rung me once to let me know the status of my complaint, and have in fact closed the complaint without my prior knowledge. So where exactly is the buyer protection that they constantly brag about offering?

Adam, I didn't even know there was a powerseller forum! I don't read anything they send me. But I will go and have a look.

It's about time we had an alternative to this. Numerous people have tried and either failed or it just hasn't caught on. The only person who would be able to do this is John Manship and I know he's thought about it because we briefly chatted about it but he has his hands full already so just hasn't got the time. There is one other alternative and that's to incporporate it into this site but I would think the logistics of this make it impossible.
