Camping 2 mins from the brewery so would be rude not to try the local beer. Get an 8.5% DIPA as well for after this.

I think that reply touches on a couple of points that I was getting at with my initial response.
i’ve been slowly selling bits and pieces for a couple of years now and based my answer on my own experiences.
i do agree I see lots of 5 to 10 records listed for 20.
my last small list on here I only sold one record.
That’s the value of record that is very time consuming and slow moving to sell.
in my experience it’s not until they are three figure records that they sell for very little effort.
unless you are planning to sell at a price below all others.
Fast reliable internet and demand in sweet soul sides have both played a big part for me.
you can be in instant communication with Japan, America and Europe at the same time.
i used to enjoy looking through the record boxes on a night out but the internet saw a decline in traffic in record bars IMO.
there was still some trade but it slowed it down its so much easier to do it from home.
I’d say poets gives it a strong run for its money I love some of Tommy ridgleys records but have never fully clicked with this side.
the Matt brown is also great both sides the B side a great alternative to the pep brown version.
I’d say if you rate it at 5k you could get 3k with not much effort but that last 2k would be the struggle.
the great cheap records how ever good just don’t bring in money like the big ticket 3 figure records.
I’d put a bit of time and effort into selling the most in demand and valuable records individually then slowly loose the will to live with shifting the rest and end up keeping it.
Yes I did all those crazy things. Phone calls to America in the middle of the night as well.
loosing internet connection with 20 seconds left on auction and nearly throwing computer out the window as you saw a great record sell for a fraction you were prepared to bid.
Best is can remember was 2 dollars to the pound and also 4 dollars airmail to get a record from us to uk meant buying cheap records one at a time was possible.
then the increase in value of records after these times as er changed.
2 memorble records from gemm for me were the rayons and tony ashley on decca i was actually trying to remember the name of this site only the other day.
L.v johnson is a fantastic singer.
also worth checking out "its not my time"
this is another great deep soul ballad on the ica label that is very cheap.
I’ve never seen that type of auction before. Going one bid increment above previous highest bidder seems much fairer to me.
is the current highest bid there for you to see when you decide how much you want to bid ?
As a follow on to buying good cheap records I was thinking about things I saw regularly and cheap post 2000 that are now dried up and commanding higher prices.
3 from me all bought for 10 dollars or less that I used to see quite often. So not things that were dear that I picked up cheap at the time.
