Bit of advice please.

I was gonna list in the wants section for the following original records. The amount in brackets following the record is the price I'd rather not pay more than. Thus not wasting any seller(s) time if their price is higher and wouldn't want to sell.

My query is.... Am I being realistic? Obviously I would want the best condition possible but What condition could I expect to get for the money?

The records are......

Dynamics - I Wanna Know - Big Top (£70)

Lorraine Chandler - I Can't Hold On - RCA Victor (£85)

Merle Spears & The Treats - I Want To Know - Whit (£75)

Sheppards - How Do You Like It/Stubborn Heart - Mirwood (£80)

Vonettes - Touch My Heart - Cobblestone (£100)

I'd prefer to pay with PAYPAL which might have a little bearing on the prices, as some sellers prefer to have the buyer pay the fees.

Thanks in advance folks.

Think £75 for the Merle Spears is quite cheap...although I paid around that for it a few months ago it is starting to get spins and have seen it recently at £100-120

Thanks Beeks, for the reply, it is really appreciated. Had all these before , sold 'em all , trying to get 'em back now

It's a top record, flogged the one I had 10 years ago for £3 Hopefully sorted with the Merle Spears now, thanks to me mate Andy (soulster1) informing me of a potential buy.

Merle Spears was hammered to death about five years ago...

£60 should get you a clean playable copy (VG++ or better) less if you can get hold of an Atlantic copy.

Thanks mate. Think I've got a decent one for me money. (Crosses fingers )

You're a bit out on the Lorraine Chandler though... £125 for a demo and £175 for an issue (black label) - or £15 for an orange 70s reissue.

Last three ive seen have been £100 £100 and £120

If you see one for £60 give me a shout Joe...could do with a spare...my fave record...even had a birthday cake from Gail made to look like it

Will do, last few I've had I've sold for that (2 Whit issues and an Atlantic demo).

One of the reasons I put the thread up here first really. Hopefully getting a general idea from the replies. If the totals about the same at the end, then the thread will have done it's job and I'll be chuffed. Doesn't mean I'll get any offers from sellers. Anybody selling might still think I'm a skinflint , but I'll feel better that I've got a consensus of opinion

So thanks again.

I'm doing fine Paul. Let me know before St Theresa's mate. It'll save me on postage so I reckon I could fetch you the cash in nice crispy notes
