And the royalties went to....the songwriters

Loretta I don't have that anymore I'm afraid - the list is over 18 months old and 90% of them are now sold - sorry.

Not bad? Surely the highest price ever for that record.

Just the standard, boring orange RCA label of the time - think David Bowie singles - actually that's probably just me, I think about them all the time

£275 last one I sold..ho hum

It's probably worth it, I sold one recently I think it was £100, but that copy - I wish he'd have mentioned it having a proper stamp

I had a Natural Four - ITYWM - ABC demo with a hiss, well not a hiss, distortion in one channel so I practically gave it away, buyer said it didn't have a single thing wrong with it and I was mad.

Thanks for coming on Chris, as you can see from the discussion, it wasn't a 'nasty' thread, as you can see from post number one, I was shellshocked at getting a refund request after nearly 6 weeks thats all. As it all unfolded, I did say I would refund and someone else offered to buy it as well so it all ended amicably. I think.

Someone on here says they wouldn't mind buying it so if I can put the pair of them together there might be a happy ending!

I never smoke til 8pm!

Was £20...

Track 18 on the podcast below, that is the actual copy, sorry just can't see how my grade of vg/vg+ is wrong after listening to it again, The Pageants - Are you ever coming home https://www.mixcloud.com/mayfairmenthol/nothing-left-to-do-but-cry/

He is. Thing is, there's actually nothing wrong with the record, it's my own copy I've had for years, it's on at least two of my podcasts and it sounds fine..

No this guy isn't a scammer Glyn, I think he's genuine. He said I put a post it on saying it's graded at vg/vg+ and plays fine but if don't want it, send it back - I can't go back on that, I shouldn't have put that in the first place! I just have a problem with the 6 weeks thing.

No it's 28 days. I'm going to refund him I think.

Whats the distance selling rules - only a couple of weeks isn't it?

Someone just sent me a message saying he doesn't want the record he bought off me on February 23rd and would I refund the money. Six weeks to decide he doesn't want the record as it has 'static' throughout, it doesn't have static, it has some crackle which is why it was graded at VG. Should I do a refund or not? I don't want to. But you're over a barrel with ebay.

I'm starting to wonder how many of these I might have thrown away

It's because some people can actually see the wood for the trees.
