Swifty Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Maybe I should have started a thread about the Javells! or One legged Midget Lesbian Blue eyed soul singers I Know they are not rare and I suppose most of you have these under the kitchen sink or in the kids playroom but would appreciate a bit of guidance from you informed people , please. Or maybe I should put them up for sale on ebay at £200 each and wait for the comments which will then probably give me the figure they should be! Sorry for the rant but I can understand why people don't post on here , it's usually for fear of being ridiculed or ignored if you're not a 'known' name. Thanks anyway Swifty Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Swifty Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Cheers Dean , that's why I was asking 'cause I saw it booked at £100 and thought no way so didn't want to put a silly price on it. Thanks mate Swifty Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Bitchdj Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) Hi , I saw a Linda Cumbo on a W/D in sales in VG++ , 4 days ago @ £30 , although it books higher , if that's any help ? I sold my last copy for £50 and kept the blue issue. Edited July 7, 2011 by bitchdj Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Swifty Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Cheers mate (or can I call you Bitch ) contrary to what Nev thinks , I have checked various Guides , Gemm etc but the prices vary so much , so just wanted a guide from people like yourself who know what things may go for. I know it's only worth what somebody is prepared to pay for it. Cheers matey Swifty Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Swifty Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Swifty ......if it helps ..i don't own and never have owned a price guide...i punch in the details of items i want info on ,either google...search bar in sales on here ...musicstack ,gemm ...popsike ...and then make my decisons from there . Give it a try instead of having a rant at others for not doing your research for you Nev , I have done research on these and that is why I asked the question mate MEL WILLIAMS - £100 JM - £50 TB - £35 GEMM now in my mind thats a big difference, nearly 300% JIMMY BO HORNE - £30 JM - £50 TB - £25 GEMM - 200% I just thought that this being a soul forum that people ( as a couple have ) may give me some guidance that's all. So are you saying that everyone who asks for a value on here shouldn't bother and just check the books , gemm etc. I thought this was the idea of a soul forum , to share knowledge. I realise it's not the ' Salvadors' or 'Arthur Willis' I'm asking about but I can't afford big ticket stuff , so I buy & sell lower end stuff but just want to do it right Take care Swifty P.S maybe there should just be a section for Valuations , then folks that don't want to chip in don't have to ?

Hi Swifty On the contrary ...I have no objection to anyone asking for a valuation ....it was the fact you decided to take out your frustration and have a rant because you didn't get a response . As you've already stated ....differing prices from all sources..you have to accept also that sales differ depending on whether the seller is a dealer or just a guy selling things to buy current wants. Selling things that you've had a while does not necessarily mean your making a profit,whereas a dealer would'nt last long in business if he wasn't making some kind of profit. My conclusion is check the prices of things that have sold rather than items for sale and you should get to a price that you feel comfortable to sell at. Good luck and have fun.

Benji Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 MEL WILLIAMS - £100 JM - £50 TB - £35 GEMM now in my mind thats a big difference, nearly 300% JIMMY BO HORNE - £30 JM - £50 TB - £25 GEMM - 200% I reckon both records to be worth around 25 quid each realistically. But seen both going for much less on Ebay in recent times. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
