Velvelettes UK - currently 5 issues & 1 green and white demo on ebay UK [here] Temptations - Gordy issue and a UK green and white demo on ebay UK [here] Hope that helps

You could fill a box with the copies on ebay [here]

Has anyone been keeping count? Was thinking of doing a review too - is that OK? Along the lines of: No 1 tune (or 5) Best CD (or three) Records bought after hearing on CDs Records added to wants list but no realistic chance of ever getting

Yvonne Baker demo for $50 in San Francisco about 8 years ago, the guy had two but I somehow knew he'd only sell me one. Mind you the hotel lost my Boss suit so it wasn't really that cheap. I also got 6 copies of Ace Spectrum for between $1 & $4 so maybe that helped offset it all

Not me guv, I've never had any UK apart from my wife's small collection of original 70's bootlegs I'll still look out for a Chandlers but I doubt I'll get one for the meagre price I want to pay

You'd bloody hope so for £521 !!!

The Chandlers - Your Love Makes Me Lonely (Col Soul) - £521 ................................................................................ ...... I remember seeing this in a sales box not long ago for 300 and thinking that was way too much, particularly as there were 2 in there Was there something special about this one?

Kris Peterson - Just As Much (Top Dog) - £123 .............................................................. A mint copy of this went through ebay the other day for $121.99 .................. It beat my snipe by 0.99c

Added a couple more today (link in the above post will take you there). Cheers Paul

For the casual seller eBay UK now charges a listing fee then 8.75% of the selling price up to £29.99 and 5.25% of the remainder up to £599. If you get paid by paypal you lose another 4% of the total price (plus 20p charge). So sell a £30 record and my rough calculations mean that you will be left with about £25 after listing, final price & paypal fees. On a £100 record you are left with about £89 assuming you list it at £99.99. Some might say that 11% - 16.5% is worth it due to eBay's market reach but I packed in after the last raise in fees. My web site works fine and as I commented elsewhere; on ebay you are trying to find a buyer at your price within 7 days: not easy. I think it is cheaper if you have a shop (and good feedback) but you then have to pay fees for the shop. eBay has just evolved into what an auction should be; somewhere to just get rid of stuff you don't want or sell rare items that you don't know how to price. Hence the amount of sh*te generally for sale there and most of it over priced. eBay US has gone pretty much the same way with dealers predominating and the prices either ambitious or not yet adjusted for the change in exchange rates (most NS comes to the UK or europe). Mind you, I've still had some bargains recently

Its an LP only track from the Motown LP "From The Vaults" unless it has been booted. edit: there's a copy on ebay [here] - finishing today edit2: and another [here] on US ebay and on ebay [here] - its on a japanese compilation LP that I've never seen before

Not sure if that's the case really. The thing with eBay is that you are trying to find someone who wants the particular record you are selling, at the price you are offering it for, usually in just 7 days. Unless you are selling an ultra-rarity, it's a bit hit & miss really. How many people cart a sales box round for months before a record sells? I stopped selling on eBay for just this reason. I list things on my site at a price I want to sell them for; some sell straight away, some take weeks or months, some don't sell at all. Matching a buyer to a record at the right price in a short time is pretty tough really. The other thing is that records listed on eBay for 7 days or less rarely get indexed on Google until after they have finished, as it takes 7 days to a fortnight for Google to index web sites. So people searching for records will only find them for sale on web sites or auctions ended on eBay (unless they are in eBay shops and listed for 30 days or so). Record selling is tough! Cheers Paul

There's one on ebay [here]

Just put a few up on eBay [here] - I'll be putting some more up over the weekend. Cheers Paul

If a dispute is started and then resolved by both parties then the seller gets his ebay fees back too. If you paid by paypal, when he refunds you he'll get his paypal fees back too. So start a dispute (on paypal & ebay if necessary), send the record back, wait for the refund, both parties end the dispute, leave positive feedback (if you want). Cheers Paul

There's 2 copies of The Winstons on ebay [here]
