    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.

    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.

    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!

    Makes sense I spose. Just a bit of a cliff when you've parted with wedge, waited for weeks and then this!

    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!

    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.

    Seems to be taking longer than it used to Dave. Their postal system is nearly as shite as ours.

    Give me strength! Anyone ever tried calling USPS? Tip, don't bother.
  11. Simsy
    Thanks Deidre. Of course the greater the amount paid, the more nervous/twitchy.. I shall phone USPS this afternoon.

    How long should one wait for one 45 standard postage these days? I've received them within the week before. This USPS last entry looks like it hasn't even left the States yet - nearly a week ago. Depart USPS Sort Facility February 24, 2013 MIAMI, FL 33112 Any advices, tips warmly welcomed. Concerned of Bishop's Stortford.

    She can sing and the backing track is great. Really good. I wanted to buy it from you last year, I was a little light.

    Tobbi is the only version. Best dancer.

    I'd lean on Mick Smith Mark, with offers of cash & swaps maybe. He's always up for a 'deal'..

    30 years for me this year and as someone said earlier, proud not to be a returnee - why would you?
  17. Simsy
    Reminds me of that awful Billy Watkins track that used to go for money.. "Any ice, today lady"? Nah, feck off!

    Good shout and on behalf of Ian, he would be more than happy to speak to you about this project.

    Close, 430 quid. Shows it's still holding it's value, well apart from the US one that slipped through the net. Wonder what the last copy will go for?
  21. Simsy
    Mick H has one as well. There was a thread on here about how her Dad was a Dentist or something and she was given the studio time to settle a debt.

    Hey don't feel sorry for me (as Jimmy Ruffin would say). I'm still miffed I parted with me first copy. Though the 350 was necessary at the time. Price is all relative though, I had multiple unplayed copies of Victor Knight's Chinatown. One sold for 30 quid on ebay auction, another for £170 on Manship auction.
  23. Simsy
    Yeah he said about the US listing. Would like to know what peanuts was. Still, a record is worth what you're prepared to pay for it I always say. I go to bed the high bidder. If I win that fecker in the morning I'll be reet pleased I tell the.

    I wanted to keep schtum about this as I wanted to have a cheeky bid and replace my copy I've been missing a couple years now, but who my kidding? Soul Source and every rare soul collector will be watching this minter from the original owner. Those that had their noses pressed up against the Eddie Parker window last week, next best (short term) thing? Not sure I can be assed to watch it finish at 6am as I think it'll be 500 sheets plus. https://www.ebay.co.u...s-/251226401325

    Equally fascinating. You can't think him mad for paying 8k for an Eddie Parker minter?
