Just a query really?

When talking about a soul record what denotes its rarity?

I'm just asking as there seems to be quite a few 'supposedly' rare records that come up for sale on here regularly from various sellers...now these records are usually priced £1000+...for that sort of money (If I was buying) I'd want it to be pretty damn rare...yet the frequency on which they turn up seems to tell a different story?

What's the deal? Are certain individuals telling us what is rare and what isn't for their own gain?

Is it a case of records just being in demand for long periods of time and are semi hard to get hold of?

I've got quite a few genuinely rare bits from the doo wop/R&B genre that I picked up for peanuts...records that you would be lucky to stumble across ever...yet the supposedly rare soul records that fetch thousands are popping up on a regular basis

I just don't get it?

How very true.

Why do people think the price of a record increases just because Butch plays it?

Look out for the Limitations on Bacone. Butch played it on Saturday so it is bound to be his latest biggie whistling.gif

A lot of people don't have confidence in their own taste...it needs the 'seal of approval' wink.gif

I once asked Butch if he had a copy of Mighty Marvellows - This Towns Too Much for sale, reply was no but its a great recordthumbsup.gif Seal of approval done!

Oh by the way I've got one for sale that has hasnt raised much interest so far, anyone like to reconsider??whistling.gifunsure.gifph34r.gif
