    I thought it more lips & ships? Anyway I'd be interested to know what Craig Moirer has to say on the situ. He a member here? I can't remember.

    Think I paid 80ish for and ex copy on evilbay a couple of years back, wished I'd never sold it.

    Mine was marked as a gift on the new evil spill the beans label. I don't think the used and gift angle is going to work anymore. I'm going to buy all my records from Pete Smith from now on, problem solved.

    That's it then. I see an opening for northern soul smuggling, whose with me?!

    I'm unclear as to whether V.A.T is applicable on used items, or used records I should say.. Only V.A.T I can think of on second hand items are commercial vehicles?

    Smiling here Dave, you've uploaded the pics using label names.

    Record arrived this morning. Looks in better condition than described and super quick delivery as only shipped yesterday. Thank you very much.

    Got an email back from Steve Calfee this morning and one major thing I'd overlooked was condition - New. Most of the time these records will be used, so no problem. I suppose I should be grateful for those unplayed half dozen Chinatown's I had a few years back without any of these difficulties.

    80's spin eh? What label, Raven? The "hey girl" bit comes after "I'm gonna hurt you".

    It's always been £400 or thereabouts hasn't it - for years? With these last two going for more than that plus the VAT, tis a bit dear though, they're all slightly off centre as well - well this batch. Killer track on the Lost Soul cd though - 'I'm gonna hurt you - Hey Girl'

    Yeah good luck with that mate! Crackin tune btw. I saw you'd Googled it and bumped an old SS Sales thread? Did you see the other one? It's a year old, but you never know - his only reply was him!

    I think you'd be okay with PayPal, but might struggle with the Treasury.

    About £150+ for vg++ I'd say mate.

    I tried that shit this morning mate
  16. Simsy
    That quite freaked me for a sec. My one that turned up this morning was to replace the one a sold a couple of years back that had a chip in the run out groove. That was clearly stated at the time though. I can't remember if it went to Ireland or Spain.
  17. Simsy
    Oh no deffo not the same record mate, yours sound a shit load rarer. Lesson learned for me is to mention this point (before bidding) to overseas sellers that are not dealers or collectors.

    Well I contacted the seller direct on Ebay to ask if he had any further copies of this record, when he said he did, I offered $400 and that was accepted. I paid $423.95 + £58.25 VAT & Post Office charges came to £340.19. Now I happen to know 2 copies of this sold on UK Ebay recently, one for £427.99 & one for £439.00. These two buyers will both have had to whack on 20% VAT + £8.00. So at least I didn't pay £531.80!

    Sad news, wasn't sure if this was the case over the weekend, R.I.P Micky.
  20. Simsy
    Well an off the cuff offer of $400 has turned into a total cost of £340.13. However, it's here, it's mint and (despite the agg) I'm reet pleased!
  21. Simsy
    Makes sense I spose. Just a bit of a cliff when you've parted with wedge, waited for weeks and then this!
  22. Simsy
    Feck! Was he obliged to list the value do you think? Never paid these kinds of fees from the US before. Is this always the case with dearer items? It was a bit of a bargain, but is turning out less so by the day!
  23. Simsy
    Been waiting for a record from the States for a couple of weeks. Got to work this morning and there is a slip on my desk with "Unfortunately we can't deliver your item because there is a fee to pay" Box checked 'There is a Customs charge' (includes £8 handling fee) Payment due: £58.24. I messaged the seller via Ebay and paid by PayPal paying $23.95 for shipping. Don't see how this can be? Anyone experienced similar? Any advice/help gratefully received.
  24. Simsy
    Seems to be taking longer than it used to Dave. Their postal system is nearly as shite as ours.
  25. Simsy
    Give me strength! Anyone ever tried calling USPS? Tip, don't bother.
