Carl , hope you're good mate , if you search ebay for Northern Soul ! I would say 20% of the stuff you find is so obviously boots ( ok maybe exagerating a bit) , it's unbelievable. I know a bit but am no expert but some of them are so bad it's untrue , yet people still but them. I sell every couple of weeks or so on ebay and struggle to get bids on nice condition originals in the £20 - £100 book price range , not rare I know but when I start at £2.99 - £9.99 they're still bargains . Seems to me you need to be selling Boots/Pressings to make money. I don't do it for a living I just need more funds to buy more records.
Cheers
Swifty
p.s. anything new in the pipeline Carl ?
