And its due tomorrow .... Now what about that Rufus Wonder?

I have to say that this is absolutely true, records are for more accessible today than they were even five years ago. However I bet everyone on here has a tale of buying stuff from people they don't know and being disappointed with the result. There are only a few dealers (on or off eBay) that I will confidently buy a high priced (over 50 in my case) record from, and I've never had a duff record from Mr Manship. However John, I must take issue with your comments on reducing prices in a collectors market not working. If you reduce that Rufus Wonder on Lendo to 100 I'll buy it today

People are still buying records, I sold about half of the ones I recently listed on here. I think that the things that don't sell are the ones that are listed at top whack. The cheaper stuff is tougher to sell because its always been common and eBay has made common records so accessible (Carl Carlton - Competition is a good example). I'm still buying records but I won't buy something because I have to have it at any price, I buy stuff I like at a price I'm willing to pay. I'm buying less to sell on at the moment though but that is because it is hard to get stuff at a price that allows some profit. I think that many records are currently vastly over priced because there has been such demand over the last few years, an adjustment is well overdue. A bit like house prices to be honest. I hope the scene isn't going pear shaped just as I'm about to return after 3 years away from getting out and about. Mind you a slump in record prices would have me reaching for my wallet.

Updated again. I'm off on holiday an Tuesday and won't have access to a PC so in about a week whatever's left is going on eBay Thanks Paul

I think that's pretty fair really. BTW Pete, could I just ask you to please stop outbidding me on eBay, it just serves to remind me how tight I am. I was going to keep that Jerry Jackson too.

In 1999 I bought some off a guy south of London, he put them on ebay and they got no bids so I contacted him and made him an offer. There was virtually every one from about 73ish - 78ish all in great condition. Really interesting reading. Unfortunately my missus got the hump when I turned up with a crate of old magazines so I sold them on as a job lot for about a quid a mag. I could probably have got more for them on eBay now, but there weren't as many people on it then and it would have been a shame to split them up. They went to a good home anyway. If you don't know what they are worth and you don't know what to ask you might as well take Pete's offer whatever it is. He'll obviously make a profit on them cos that's business but at least you'll have them sold and I'm sure he won't be ripping you off. Cheers Paul

Apparently not everyone has

I can't believe that nobody wants that Channel 3 I'll be gutted if I have to put it on eBay. Ah well.

Isn't this the guy who has the rights to quite a few tunes and keeps repressing them? E.G. Ann Perry, the Valise stuff etc Could be wrong.

Thanks for the piccy, not quite the real thing tho. They do come up on eBay every so often, popsike shows the most expensive at about 150 dollars so I think you're right, I'll just wait. All records come to you if you wait long enough

Absolutely! We used to rotate the resident DJ spots and I would quite often play a load of 70's in my spot if I wasn't on last. (If you were on last it was uptempo 60's dancers all the way)

As I can't get out much at the momemnt and haven't been able to for about 2-3 years, this is about the only place I hear tunes that are new to me. So I just wanted to say thanks to all those who generously share their knowledge with others here. In the post today were two of those lovely brown packets containing three records I first heard on here in various threads: Thelma Houston - Saturday Night, Sunday Morning - Tamla 54297 - $12 beautiful 70's The Superiors - I'd Rather Die - Sue 12 - $25 absolutely fantastic tune! The Manhattans - I Can't Stand For You To Leave Me - Deluxe 8460 - £15 a bit cha cha cha but sounds ten times better pitched down a bit Three great tunes for less than 40 quid Thanks Paul

Absolutely right! Have a good one this weekend down the smoke, only wish I could be there. Cheers Paul

I can play it back to back with good good feeling now

Deal Please PM me with payment details, special delivery. Anyone watching this who has reserved records from me I'm going to be on your case for the moola so I can pay for this You know who you are!

I just missed a copy of this on ebay, it went for 167.50, I bid 162 thinking "that should do it". Obviously wrong I'd love a copy of this but it seems our ideas on value contrast

Might be me but I didn't get any sound on Youtube from your "vod", others were OK tho. Say hello to Dan for me, did he ever get his sunglasses back? Cheers Paul

I hope there is a melt down cos I've got a helluva long wants list! The cheaper the better please.

What about this ..... https://www.karavanrecords.net/George/Philadelphia.mp3 Fantastic for 10 seconds .... ....... actually its growing on me

I was hoping to pay a bit less than that

Can you PM me a link please, I can only find this one: https://cgi.ebay.com/RUFUS-WONDER-THE-ADDIT...1QQcmdZViewItem The condition isn't really good enough for that price. Cheers Paul
