I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO HYPE OVERDRIVE ABOUT THIS, YOU ALL KNOW HOW RARE THIS RECORD IS AND THE CHANCES OF FINDING ONE "IN THE WILD" NOWADAYS ARE VIRTUALLY NIL. ONE WENT FOR $11,000 ON EBAY ON SUNDAY. IF IT WAS MINT, THEN THIS COPY IS IT'S EQUAL. IT IS BEAUTIFUL AND I DARE SAY IT'S NEVER SEEN A STYLUS. APART FROM A COUPLE OF LIGHT, WHISPY LINES CAUSED BY THE PAPER OF THE SLEEVE, THIS IS AS IN GOOD AS A CONDITION AS WHEN IT CAME OFF THE PRESSES BACK IN THE 60's.
SO, IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO GO UP FOR OFFERS I'M AFRAID. I'M NOT QUITE SURE HOW I'M GOING TO DO THIS YET, OBVIOUSLY THE PERSON WHO OFFERS THE MOST MONEY WILL GET IT, BUT I HAVEN'T SET A TIME LIMIT ON IT AS YET.
I GUESS ALL I WOULD SAY IS "BID WHAT YOU THINK IT'S WORTH TO YOU". I WILL NOT IDENTIFY ANY BIDDERS, INCLUDING THE WINNER, AND I WILL NOT DISCLOSE HOW MUCH IT SELLS FOR IF THE WINNER DOES NOT WANT ME TO.
ANYWAY I'LL START THIS OFF AT £4000 AND WE'LL TAKE IT FROM THERE. I WILL UPDATE BIDDERS WHEN OR IF THEY ARE OUTBID.
THE BID INCREMENT IS £100.
THE WINNER WOULD BE ADVISED TO COME AND PICK THIS UP FROM ME!
I WISH THIS WAS MINE, BUT IT'S ONLY A COMMISSION JOB SO PLEASE DON'T ASK ME TO BEND THE RULES, I HAVE TO DO MY BEST FOR THE SELLER.
