  1. I have to say there does seem to be a flood of stuff coming on the market, surely this will have an effect on the sale/purchase prices of originals ?
  2. That's the way of the world, every country adds import duty to imported goods, difference in Europe is that once it's arrived in one of the EEU's member countries it can be moved around the EEU without duty (or VAT). It was never designed for small amounts like £100.00 or so it'll cost more to administer than the revenue it generates. As for duty there is a standard EEU duty % rate the differences will occur when the local national customs interpret that rate list. I worked in logistics for over 30 years and there some goofy things going on. We used import some products out of the USA via Holland because the customs there were prepared to accept a certain (lower) duty rate than Belgium, we then shipped them from Holland to our Belgian customer thereby saving him money, all perfectly legal.
  3. I also live in Belgium, I always ask the seller to put a low value on the record, most are willing to do that. Even when the Belgian customs get it wxrong there's no way to go back to them and fix it, they outsourced the whole thing to DVS (the old DFDS). If anybody's doing it on a regular basis they will be doing this (I'm sure)

    About £25 - 35 depending on condition.
  5. I will never buy again via CC only via Paypal, I believe this crook knew what he was doing when he insisted on a CC only.
  6. Probably................
  7. Be interesting to see how it ends. Not such a desirable as "Coming to your rescue", does it get played anywhere ?

    There's a boot/re-issue with Jesse James on B side, white demo. Another on white Dynamo and one from about 10 years ago on Harthon, they should be all easy to spot. Besides there are so few originals about you'll be able to tell from the asking price.
  9. You should get one for about £60 - 70, try and get the one with pic sleeve.
  10. Earl Jackson got released there, someone on here has one !! There used to be a foreign labels thread go check it out there's some pretty weird releases.
  11. Post a scan of the label.
  12. Ending today, good luck....................
  13. Never thought it was booted on ABC, was on Soul Sounds and there are a couple of legitimate released, Kent and from NS movie.
  14. Monarch pressed boot.
  15. Just 24 hours to go................
  16. I've been buying and selling on Ebay on and off for I guess about 15 years and have always worked on 2 principles. When I sell I always accept returns no matter what, don't need a reason, just send it back for a full refund. When I buy I always check the fine print and item description that way there are no surprises when item arrives and if it says record has a edge crack or the B side is shagged out and doesn't play well then I know it. Bought this the other day, unfortunately I went into hospital for 2 1/2 weeks the day the record arrived so it was nearly 3 weeks before I opened package. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XFKUHUO3Dw&feature=youtu.be As you can see thing doesn't play, although seller did say there was something with the run in but it did not affect play, which it quite clearly does. I contacted the seller who got all shirty and accused me of damaging it and besides I was too late he only gave a 14 day return. So when I opened a return case he closed immediately with a refusal. I didn't leave it at that I spent about 2 hours talking to Ebay and explaining everything, I always keep every communication between seller and buyer, the seller had written some pretty strange and daft things including one that said he was taking legal action, whatever that means. Anyway Ebay came out in my favour which I thought was the fairest thing. It really does look like the seller does have some protection.
  17. Pretty talented bunch of blokes, worldwide hits weeks after starting the label and issuing the records.
  18. Ending tomorrow, here's some more.................

    Has anybody any experience with vinyl cleaning fluid ? Does it clean the record and/or do anything else/more ? I've seen sellers use them at record fairs but nowhere else.
