Or buy on US for about a fiver......................... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Northern-Soul-45-AL-WILSON-When-You-Love-Youre-Loved-Too-Who-Could-Be-Lovin-/271946494870?hash=item3f51463396 My guess it's some who read that The Snake is a top NS sound and that NS records are rare and worth a lot of money, put 2 and 2 together and bid £250+ for a 25 quid record.

Bobby Sanders told me the owner of Canterbury records was the son of the co-owner/CEO of Mattel Toys Elliot Handler, a plaything he'd bought for him.

So really what you're saying you haven't got a clue, fair enough................

When you bought some what were they like ?

He told some great stories (as only he could) about Canterbury.

£255.00 classic !!! https://www.popsike.com/Al-Wilson-The-Snake-Liberty-45/381102786527.html

I've seen a few of these 1970s boots, they are very tough to tell from the original.

Ian stuff comes from a dealer in Detroit, I know that for a fact, I shipped them for him.

Still 3 days to go........................... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/60s-Northern-Soul-AL-WILSON-The-Snake-ORIGINAL-UK-LIBERTY-EX-/201397561913?hash=item2ee43aea39

The picture is the same as the album cover, although I actually notice the page is promoting his 1st single.

For me Duke Browner - Crying over you, snapped in two, sold on Soul Source for £30.00. I do hope buyer was able to make some playable record from it. /forums/topic/322041-duke-browner-crying-over-original-£3000-read-on/#comment-2144299

Original US please. Thanks

Oh yeah have a publicity poster for Chris Bartleys album where he's gazing into the eyes of Sandi Sheldon, signed by both. Will tray and dig t out.

I've seen the rise start from about Feb/March onward. There used to be a time when buying in July and for sure August you could get a bargain, those days seem to have vanished. I tracked about 30 records on Ebay last night, they went for "silly" money, looks like we're back to 2006 pricing if not more, must be a younger audience rather than old soulies. Hope it stays, got 2 big batches to sell later in the year

An Ebay seller told me he'd listed a Sam Fletcher at £100.00 and only got one bid, he saw it sell a month later for £280.00, that seller started at £19.99.

To be honest I can't remember when I last saw one for sale 7 or 8 years ago maybe ? I think it went for about £400-ish.

If you're selling on Ebay do you take a risk and ask a low starting price and calculate it will reach it's expected value at the end of the auction or do you start with a high price just in case it doesn't ?

That's quite a toughie, don't see many for sale, somewhere £500 - 600 ?

They've been creeping up in price for about the last 5 or 6 years, but £1550.00 after a few hours of listing, brrrr.....bonkers..........

OMG !! My, my that's a lot of money for that record......................

Bobby Sheen's autograph, maybe the last one he ever did, he died a few weeks afterwards, have a few letters from Chris Bartley & Sandi Sheldon. Probably rarest is Spirit Terrell from the Vel-vets (she also gave me a hickey )

Great stuff they really were quite unique places (Torch & Cats)
