    One of my recent watches went through with no bids, I was going to put a bid on but simply forgot at the time.

    It came back on this week, so I swiftly put one on and within a day it now has had 3 bids and now I'm not the winning bidder without hiking the price up further!

    Two things here, one is that simply no one interested in it saw it first time around.

    Another is the seller has another 'bidder' who puts the price up higher, but this time overshot my maximum bid... Who knows but unless I bid again I may never know, unless someone else steps in and the price goes up anyway.

    Is it worth the gamble? I guess that's an individual's choice, I'll probably just let it go and watch what happens - all part of the research aspect isn't it?

    Going back to Dave's original 'weight lifter' comment.

    It's a fairly well known fact that young children automatically pick things up correctly, ie back straight etc. - it's as we get older that we stop doing it that way!

    JB told me a couple are on singles as well , but I played from LP's :)

    Had a great afternoon , brill sets from everyone involved  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

    Yes, as far as I know only the Soul Children and Jesse James are on singles.

    But YOU never said it was an LP only set, that was other people - you just said you were playing LP tracks, which is just what you did!

    Agreed though, another good afternoon session with a great selection of music from everyone to go with it!

    I tend to watch things to get an idea what they sell for and also to see how many bid on them.

    Also just to check on the conditions of things going through and get an idea of the general quality and quantities around.

    Sometimes I put a bid in, other times I don't - or just forget!

    I guess different people will have different reasons, as already mentioned above.

    A few days off SS and I come back to this... Very sad news indeed!

     

    Never met Bob in person but communicated many times over various forums over the years.

    His interviews with the 'unsung' heros of the Chicago soul scene over the years were and still are essential listening.

    Its hard to put in words what a sad loss this is.

    My thoughts go out to all his family and friends, RIP Bob  :hatsoff2:

    Sounds like a case of newbie needs to read terms and conditions before bidding / buying. Let alone them wait until actually leaving feedback.

    Some people just don't read things correctly, if at all  :no:
