with most collectors and dealers the prices come with experience and the knowledge you gain because of it, alos keeping an eye on what gets sold at venues, by lists and auction etc. Others it's simply a case of referring to a guide Price can be subjective as well as we've seen with some prices reached on auctions net

What's the difference in price between the dealers on the records you mention above? There shouldn't really be that much of a difference??? Top price paid at auction doesn't neccesarily give a true reflection of the discs worth just the price it's worth to one individual. Price is often driven higher by two individuals (very rarely do you see several) getting involved in a bidding war. If the individuals have a certain amount of spare cash and a top want is there to be bid on then they will go for it more often than not regardless whether or not the record is worth what the are paying. how often is it discussed on here how daft some bugger is for paying "silly x" amount for a record? All the time!! Often an over inflated price paid on an auction has a knock on effect and the next copy for sale is then deemed to be worth the last price paid on auction, Cashmeres, Bill Bush etc are good examples of this

I think it's a fantastic tune and ripe for re-activation IMHO. Actually bid on the one on John's auction but then went away with work and missed end of auction. Most copies seen for sale in recent times have been around the £150 mark so someone has got it cheap

Ringleaders....

Since 2004 the Cashmeres on ebay was selling for between $835 and as high as $2150 which was a tad ott IMHO, on average the record was selling for around $1500, give or take a bit half what Tim valued it at in his guide, which is after all a guide. That btw is for copies that popsike have picked up on, know there has been more than the copies stated. 50 copies only, I bet there's been almost that up for sale via auctions, lists and sales boxes at venues the past few years, have seen it for sale often enough was also told one seller on e-bay had multiple copies, rumour or fact dunno? as for the understating of values by those who should know better, give us some examples? the so called understatement could after all be just a honest opinion, maybe the last value the one who should know better saw a record sold for?

you would also think that the more copies that turn up the price would come down but the opposite seems to be the case for some records all it's worth now IMO seems to be one for sale somewhere every week

I agree with you Pete, in fact I wouldn't pay £500 for it didn't a box load turn up? Tool much money IMHO if willing to pay £1900 for Cashmeres As for e-bay one went for $2000 if I remember rightly. Find it harder to find some £50 records than you do the Cashmeres and others like Bill Bush, another that seemed to be a constant fixture on e-bay etc etc.....

probably seen more on Pearce, been a few for sale recently.

early 90's after Guy gave up with the place, dunno exact year or time as I've forgotten

Internet explorer 7 does

Prince Harold - Ain't It Amazing. Great, played it out the odd time too cheap as well

covered up as James and the Four Souls.....

If I'm free Mark will gladly offer my services if it helps at all. Loved doing the show and hope to do another one soon.

I agree with your sentiments Mike. Folk should do the scene a favour and leave alone, do like Gash says and buy the Lyrics. Sand papered or not still from the same batch and still a boot. I know a mate payed summat like $200 for this, he didn't realise it was a boot till I told him.

didn't realise you still went to all-nighters Shane and when you did you whinged about the 70's

sorted now thanks

yep, different font as well, and factory demo

GInger plase, mobile if at all poss. off list

and me, both sides

I reckon I'd agree with this, I'd want more if I had one to sell. Seen more £1000+ records than I have this in recent years.

star trek....

Another Lou Johnson, great double sider Wouldn't that be something/You better let him go and Bobbi Smith & Dreamgirls - Now He's Gone.

I think this is the cd I have...must dig it out and give it a listen again

nice one, will see you there Steve, you'll enjoy it

dunno Joan, have all on remembering last weekend I'd say not in recent living memory, last year I think I last saw it but like you say I did know of more than just the three.
