Cheap records are generally the hardest to sell so this is a good option I reckon, whoever is buying blind may be in for a shock though!!

someone big and strong if he (or she) carries that box every where!!

I was going to view them as they are in my home town,I dont know who it is though,I cant see where it mentions Grapevine Iread it as Gold Mine sevens. He may pull them out of the auction yet as he told me he has been offered £7500 for the black box alone.As been said plenty of bids, £1400 bid up to now.Best of luck to him.

£7500.Someone must have viewed then.Offer not thru ebay? Wonder what's in there?

Would you shout about a Frank Wilson pressing, signed or otherwise?

DJ's all over the country? That's all of us then! .. On the northern scene, everyone's a dj.

That said they just look so damn good, great big box of records... Wouldn't pay fourteen hundred quid though.

Let alone seven & a half grand!

Sorry you are correct Goldmine sevens I'm not familiar with the lable because it looks so awful

so you say he's been offered £7,500 for the box does that mean without the contents ?

also if he lives near you are you aware of his DJing escapades ,was he known local gigs he's done etc ?

Where does he get the idea that every record is worth at least a tenner from ?

Sorry i know that's a lot of questions

It says £7,500 for the box alone that must mean someone wants to tip the contents out and just take the box !

If he was in my home town I would definitely go and view even if I had no intention of buying them. Who could resist having a look?

I dont know who it is,Like everywere else in the country Teeside and the North East has a fair amount of regular soul nights.One local collecter/ record dealer rang me to ask if Iknew of anyone selling.I rang another collector who I thought it might have been but he has no idea either. I might have seen him out and about but without a name to go on who knows.All I can say is when I contacted him about viewing he got straight back to me to tell me about the offer he had recieved and I was welcome to arrange a viewing.The offer of £7500 was for the black box and its contents which he says are duplicate copys and some Ska tunes.

Already plenty of DJ's out there with similar boxes so really don't need another one do we lol

I worked as a mobile DJ for a lot of years and built up a large collection of all sorts,I advertised the lot for sale and had a few people come to see them,One local dealer come round twice and only wanted to cherry pick and then he offered a naff price lol I wasnt very happy with him at the time,all in all about 5 hours with him.So I wouldnt like to waste anyones time but Iknow what you mean lol

I thought it may be Hoss, selling Mace's records for him, but then I read this statement

I have Dj`d all over the country with these records and they have packed many a dancefloor in that time.

So can't be Mace,

harsh ! ....but funny

Me for one Joan - Would rather watch paint dry than trawl through another 600 crap records / repros / UK 70s etc - there won't be anything for the likes of us in there kiddo

turn up at any venue and start djing..........yeh right

Tezza, the seller says:

There is approx 600 7" singles

Fookin' heavy box to lug about all over the country!!!

Stockton on tees is a five minute drive for me Joan----i dont know anyone from stockton who is a dj---let alone dj,d all over the country

In fact i cant recall meeting ANYONE from stocton who did nighters or anything else for that matter

Still ---send me a quid n ill take a look----or send me a tenner n ill go buy them for you

Some dodgy characters from Stockton Steve ....might never get out alive !

Just a thought ,when was the last time you checked under the bed ..someone could have nicked yours and is selling em right in front of your very eyes

Then again .....they dont look like yours ...

Technically Tomo is from Stockton too

Hey! Now you can pack that in Nev

O/T i know but this reminded me of this

Back in the wigan casino days some of you will recall that Russ Winstanley had his huge box of records stolen

at the time it was rumoured that russ sold all his originals before they were booted/ reissued and that his box was full of pressings and boots

it was anounced on stage that if they were not returned Russ might have to give up DJing

needless to say a tip off led to his records being found under his car

i remember someone in the record bar at the time saying

"They probably tipped the buggers out and nicked the box"

This bit of the "Russ's records have been stolen" bit I never knew or heard we were slow with the "gossip".

i have no idea if it was true it was just amusing at the time

and the line "He's been offered £7,500 for the box reminded me of it

Well he must have sold his records at some point......cos he ain't got 'em anymore. : The mystery that was Wigan Casino eh. Never seen a picture of the Central Station before today either.....I always wondered why Station Road didn't have a station

The first cover in the box on the left hand side says Ferne Kenny

Well spotted Miff. I rest my case. If you're lucky the buyer might find "Ring my bell" in there too!
