  1. Expensive as it may be, other sites like eBid attract nowhere near as many buyers as Ebay does. They are greedy bastards, but I'll still use them for what I can.
  2. Yes - 10% is right. Also, don't forget the initial cost of placing the ad, depending on quite a few different factors, plus 4% PayPal fees when receiving payment.
  3. Possibly from another part of the West Indies (eg, Barbados etc). Can't see the typface too well, but it does look like a West Indian press of some sort. Having said that, he does have other Jamaican 45s on his auction list. Here's a Jamaican Staple Singers 45 on Stax which is on 45cat - blue label, but not as dark as the Jean Knight. According to the page of Jamaican Stax 45s, the old label design (and a myriad of colours) was being used there at least until 1973. https://www.45cat.com/record/nc496619jm
  4. Have to agree with Dave - I've sold some of my bits to Mick in the past, and he is a very reasonable payer (and a good bloke to chat to!).
  5. SUE THOMPSON: It's Break-Up Time (UK Hickory STOCK COPY) In its original Hickory sleeve. Condition; MINT- £20 plus P&P P&P - £2.10 UK recorded delivery, £6.50 Europe registered post, £9.00 outside of Europe registered post. Please PM me if interested. I only accept PayPal - no fees. First come, first served - I do not reserve records! Thanks, Gene
  6. That's exactly what I thought a more realistic price is for that.
  7. True - the only way the Beatles Motown covers hit the chart were by way of their second LP (pretty sure there were no Motown covers on Please Please Me).
  8. Amazing how he actually received the record within an hour of the first email saying he hadn't received it. Wish our postal service was that dynamic.
  9. Stick 'em over bootlegs to make them look like original WDJs........................
  10. VAN McCOY: Baby Don't Tease Me / Girls Are Sentimental (US Rock'n 45) Condition; EX- (there are a couple of small marks on the run-in, and a couple of other light marks, but they are light and do not affect playing). £15 plus P&P THE JOHNNY GIBSON TRIO: Beachcomber / Swanky (US Twirl 45) Condition; EX (small stain on A-side label - see scan). £15 plus P&P P&P - £2.10 UK recorded delivery, £6.50 Europe registered post, £9.00 outside of Europe registered post. Please PM me if interested. I only accept PayPal - no fees. First come, first served - I do not reserve records! Thanks, Gene
  11. Bloody hell! Looks lovely. Thanks for that Harry.
  12. Didn't know there were any, Harry! Now they must be seriously scarce. PS: Hope you, Di and the family have a good Easter.......
  13. JM's auction raised about £56 for it some years ago. Apparently, Bob Catteno had the coloured vinyl ones pressed at the same time as the WDJs, but in a very limited quantity.
  14. I'd avoid the UK Track issue - it gradually starts slowing down through the middle, and sounds terrible at the fade-out.
  15. If you're offered a white demo, it's definitely a boot - there aren't any original demos. Follow Robb's advice above on how to tell a boot from an original stock copy.
  16. I can remember it fetching £15 in 1983.
  17. Whether he's stated his prices or not, if I paid that extortionate price for P&P, and it arrived with a £1.20 postage stamp and even a professional mailer, I'd bloody feel ripped off. He would also feel the wrath of my low DSR rating.
  18. Never heard of Dermot Oblong, but he's certainly not a square!
  19. I'd cancel your bid and tell him to f**k off - standard delivery for a 7" record (1st class unregistered) is £1.20 - even recorded delivery should only be £2.20 or thereabouts. That is a blatant postal rip-off, unless his idea of standard postage is delivering it by hand in an armoured car.
  20. Can they throw some of their cash my way and put it down to diminished responsibility?
  21. £651 for Barry St John????????
  22. Seems fair enough, and in these times not a bad thing either. Probably nothing different to what Cash Converters does.
  23. I see the page owner is based in St. Neots. Anyone know who it is?
  24. You're not kidding - and a lot of them in their Community discussion boards as well.
