I was watching an item and it has just disapeared off my watch list. Not even showing as no longerr available. my guess is its been sold before auction ended amd is no longer available. in the past didnt this kind of thing still show on watch list but as an completed item or did they always used to disappear ?

I've got one on ebay now for 20gbp so bang in the middle of these estimates. great record.

Only to get a shock when they play it..... at least its a good record in its own right so not a complete disaster. this could make a good thread. What record did you buy only to find out it wasnt what you thought it was ?

For this record 125 seems about right to me.

Thanks i better get myself an account. i see some price info for some records but not others. if any its just highest, lowest, average and date last sold.

Benji with an account do you get access to more price information than as a non member who just browses that site ? cheers

This list is 13 years old

Polite reminder for these just SJ TRIPPIN sold so far.

Yes that was my thought on listening. after a few more spins i'm really warming to the flip it may be the better of the two sides.

Finishing as buy it now in just under 3 hours thanks

Wasnt holland the destination and also nobody has ever actually seen one ? dave flynn has commented that there are no copies in japan. what a story though if one ever does appear.

The scene certainly is at some point important to us all but i think for many the collecting continues when they leave the scene. i sold a record last week and the buyer said he hasnt been in a soul club for 10 years apart from one recent visit. maybe taste changes and the home lsitening soul is what will stand the test of time as a long term collectable as that doesnt need a scene. and there is so much info out there that a records rarity can truly be tested before big big spends take place. In the same way as with other collectables mentioned above. Prices may continue to rise on truly rare and great recorda as they will become very important and be treated like antiques. far removed from the underground youth scene they came from.

Thanks kev i was just going through some records and played this. It really stood out and i cant believe i havent play it much. flip is very strong as well. so about 200 quid in 7 or 8 years then

Those 75 quid late 90s records for me are things like enchanters, larry davis, kurt harris etc etc all seem to be well into the hundreds now. i was happy to pay 60 And sell for 80 to get something new and keep finding my way around the records.

Late 90s lonnie lester was in virtually every sales box i looked it. i was staggered that it could be 75 when everybody had one for sale. it should be 20 quid its not rare in the slightest and has been hammered.

Valuations on this please ? Sounds good to me what a voice. thanks

2 fantastic sides i dont recall this ever having huge plays i hardly recall hearing it out ? It doesnt appear to fall into classic oldie status. Maybe just not rare enough either......

Most people would be incredibly happy to get 80%. 66% final salary used to be typical. 66% career average is now more likely on any kind of defined contribution. most people though have had that kind of pension frozen by now and are just building up a pot in aome kind of investment which they can then draw down. So its not a guaranteed income until death. and any kind of state support keeps getting pushed back so you received it later and later than previous. thats quite general i've not gone into detail ao the exact % may differ due to not paying NI and less tax.

Some nice buy it now items finishing sat night https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=&_ssn=pushbuttonworld&_sop=1 another batch will go up when these finish.

what makes you think that

I dont have any theories to rising record prices. I cant see the logic. as a result i stopped buying. probably other factors played a part as well. 3 young kids being the main one. i dont see this younger generation with loads of disposable income all getting into northern soul. House prices are as high as they have ever been many people are not even getting on housing ladder until into there 30s or even worse when they get some inheritance. young people are having to pay more and more into pensions to get less out than previous generations. living costs in just about all aspects continue to rise. some lucky people are just not impacted in any way because they are from very wealth families or have a huge amount of personel wealth. They are not in the majority.

Havent you heard just as many people commenting and speculating to say the opposite though ? whats happening in society and record prices gong up are not related imo.

I dont know where you are getting any kind of evidence of these living condition facts ? I would disagree with pretty much all of them.

Have to agree it’s trashed. is somebody hoping they can get rid of some of that crackle ? a very expensive and unlikely gamble
