Thanks...yea i just don't have the time to do clips for everything. I try to put them on all of the rarer or more obscure listings. It just doesn't seem to be worth putting them on a bunch of $5 records. If there is an auction that you are interested in that doesn't have a clip, send me a message and I will put one up. Thanks for looking.

I have 125+ auctions right now and have a goal to get 500+ more listed within the next week. (keep checking back daily) Lots of my items have soundfiles. Pay shipping only for the first item you buy! Everything else ships free anywhere in the world! Take a Look: https://shop.ebay.com/investorinc/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340

I just listed 2 Modern pieces that I just picked up recently. I have researched them and turned up nothing. I have sound clips on both auctions. Here is the link to my auction page. https://shop.ebay.com/investorinc/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340 Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Dave.

Check the 3rd paragraph of post #13.

Ok...wow this thread has blown up. Firstly, let me say I made a mistake. I never should have posted anything until the auction closed. I really did bid on the piece because it was strange and interesting to me and I only posted this thread after I knew I was not going to bid any higher. I was really curious about what it was and my curiosity should have waiting. I was just perplexed at how I had never heard of this before, being a memphis piece, and figured that someone on here would know more then me. Lesson learned, don't post anything about a current auction, especially if it's an "unknown" piece. Ok...as far as my love of music goes, I am not going to even address that. I do not think that is a matter even worth defending. It's like telling someone they are "heartless" and then you trying to prove you have a heart. Pointless. I love that at the first sniff of "so called shady shilling" people jump off their rocker and find it a need to attack someone's character. Ok end of my rant. Hope this clears some things up...if not PM me.

Thanks...that helps a bit. Anybody else got anything? I'm interested to see what it goes for. My bid of $50 was obviously too low

Hi...saw this on ebay recently and am curious about it. It seems to be from Memphis (which is my hometown) and I have never heard of it. Anybody know of it? What do yall think of it? https://cgi.ebay.com/SWEET-PEARL-LEOPARD-HEAD-NORTHERN-SOUL-FUNK-45-/160437133632?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item255acc6140

I would say the WLP is worth about $100 to $150 tops and the issue is more like $200 to $250. Hope this helps.

Over 100+ are closing in the next 8 hours. https://shop.ebay.com...=&_trksid=p4340

Statistical Anomaly = any value that falls well outside the expected range. It doesn't mean it can't be explained, but is definitely unexpected. Marketing and Reputation alone won't allow someone to sell something for 10X the value. I think the biggest factor here is like you said, buyers who are clearly uneducated. The reason why I posted this in the first place is to become a more accurate and knowledgeable predictor of value. By increasing these skills, I increase my margins whether it be on the buying or selling side.

Thanks for your thoughts and insights. I definitely understand economics (heck I studied it in school)...but always find it interesting when there is such a huge gap in what people are willing to pay for the same item over a short period of time. Statistical anomalies always intrigue me and I am trying to gather information that may help explain them. I guess they are bound to happen more so in an auction format where there are so many different factors to consider.

Here is another one I can't explain. Why so cheap? https://cgi.ebay.com/CASINO-ROYALE-KEY-LOC-45-GET-YOURSELF-NORTHERN-SOUL-/110519590894?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item19bb7b1fee Here are some past sales of this one https://www.popsike.com/php/detaildatar.php?itemnr=110152288960 https://www.popsike.com/php/detaildatar.php?itemnr=270553318207 I just don't understand how something can sell for $300 and then for $15. Very strange.

"Always There" is the in demand side. Plus the first one I linked from popsike is a promo as well.

Just wondering if anyone can help explain how this 45 sold for 5% of what it usually does? Here is the link https://cgi.ebay.com/SIDE-EFFECT-Always-There-DJ-Promo-45-F-769-Disco-Soul-/400115320545?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item5d28bb46e1 Here are 2 links to past sales https://www.popsike.com/SIDE-EFFECT-Always-There-SUPERB-boogie-modern-soul-HEAR/370292363085.html https://www.popsike.com/70s-SoulDisco-45-SIDE-EFFECT-on-FANTASY-AlwaysHEAR/330384152832.html
