Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. I was wondering if there is any wording or release number info, or something, that they can filter on. Might try a modification or two, and see what happens. And yet, choose what the reason, I can't see any logic in it being deliberate. It makes no sense. Scratch head and have a beer methinks :-)

See my bit above - is yours a UK release?

Possibly. There are a couple of web URLs that I didn't follow, but the .com and .ca options have been removed from the two records I got the emails about, and not the other. And, there is no relation to starting price either. The only thing I can see is that the two in the emails were English and French productions, whereas the untouched one was from America originally. Could that be it?

You'd be amazed how many RELY on boots, never mind try to 'get away' with playing them.

Isn't Ebay's minimum bid (reserved price) something like £50? Bloody ridiculous, doesn't give you half a chance of picking up a reasonable price unless you start it at what you want for it. Rather defeats the object somehow. Might as well list it BIN.

I've just had a couple of emails from ebay customer support, telling me they have removed my option to list on ebay.com and ebay.ca. The statement says something about different countries' ebay policies. But, these are two relistings that went through without any problem first time around, and are part of a longer list, the rest of which is unaffected. Anyone got any idea what's going on here?

Utterly stunning!

Hi, sent you a PM. Cheers John

Fair point Pete, you don't, but quite a few do. I buy more than I sell, and have often bought and sent the payment 'as gift', which means I pay the fees. If that's wrong then I'm not going to argue, but, to be fair, paying the fees has never been a particular hassle to me. I wasn't aware that Paypal were getting a bit hot under the collar about it.

I didn't particularly offer any logic. I asked a few questions looking for any further info that might clarify the position. You and others have provided that, so thanks very much. I see the problem that Paypal has. It raises the next question though, should we be telling all the sellers who pretty much demand 'as gift', that they can't do that? That'll ruffle a few feathers :-)

What I don't get is, if they don't like it, why offer the option? Why not charge a fee anyway? And why threaten to close down your account? Without users and accounts Paypal will fail to exist. It doesn't make sense, unless someone has more info on how it all works.

Quality as always Gav :-) PS If you ever get tired of 'Screaming Please' or Tommy Mosely, let me know. :-)))))))

Sent you a PM.

MrC - I could put the Riff Ruffin in the box for this weekend's event, if you're going.

Used to have one of these, but sold it a few years ago when I got a proper one. Seen one or two over the years, so never thought it might be in any way rare. Only got about £10 for it if I remember correctly.

Des, PMed you. John

Anyone know if the Kent release (Select City 010) is the only legit way to get this record?

Better make sure the Sam & Dave and Jnr Walker are in the box for Waterfront :-)

Defo looking forward to it Andy :-)

Cued up my next tune, then had to wait while the host made an unexpected announcement about a couple getting engaged. Up on stage - flowers, chocolates etc. Then I kicked off my (by now forgotten) choice. Out blasted 'You Don't Want Me No More'. Not exactly in keeping with the moment, but it got a good laugh. Apologies followed, of course. More laughs!

Oh yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheer Andy. Another one you very rarely hear.

Hi Brian, paid £50 for my issue copy about 7 or 8 years ago. According to Popsike that looks about average, though it varies, of course. Hope this helps.

Agreed Sid, one of the best two-siders you'll ever find.
