    First time I've ever heard of someone moving on a JIMMY BURNS due to a lack of space. I mean you'd find space in your fridge or something like that wouldn't you?

just seen this on e bay normally a 4 grand record but noticed the seller only has a feedback of 1 !!!! think i would steer clear myself, is he a member on here https://www.ebay.co.u...=item3f12dd64e8

easy solution..winner personally goes to seller to examine record..if happy..pays for it..i did look myself..but too much interest..

this is being discussed on all about the soul bids look very dodgy leaving a s source member the highest bidder after someone upped the bids then withdrew

Can't see it on all about the soul or I'm going blind lol

It's here :

The guy obviously didn't know it's worth he put it up starting at 99p

his other item is a crappy Jacko cd

his feedback score of one was for buying a land rover badge !

there was one on last week that went for just over £2000....maybe he saw that and thought bingo..they are out there in the states somewhere

based on the other thread about withdrawing bids, clearly total fraud. should be reported to ebay by as many people as possible.

my friend found a copy recently, I actually had never really listened to it before, I thought it was terrible (please don't flame me, just my opinion, I'm sure many people hate my taste too). But the other side was actually sort of nice midtempo. Not amazing but nice.

Well he did get a positive feedback for buying a Land Rover Special Vehicles Badge :-)

HAHAHA beat me to it, "hmmm my storage space is just a little too full, time to sell that $3,000 record i've been propping the door open with"

. Amazing tune,quite like brand new faces too

what about BOBBY JAMES----ON ---KAROL

Sounds ace anywhere. Fantastic tune!

agree with you Joan

Still remember the strange sight of seeing Jimmy Burns doing a version of this live in Chicago and practically turning it into a C&W crooner!

I'm running out of space at home, so if anybody can take a couple of middles (plastic ones, as new) off my hands i'll finally be able to have space to move all the new furniture in - open to offers.

Search for "making room" in the search box, you'll find plenty of people's sales on here where people claim to be selling to "make room", possibly in their "box".

Bob, I repeat, if you need to make room in yer box for something like Jimmy Burns, ya need a bigger box.... :lol:

Is yours in ya fridge Steve? you beat me to Ians copy LOL I had to be satisfied with Brooks Bros,Joanne Courcy and Bobby Kline.

I think i won a Jackie Paine off this guy last year.

As a matter of interest how much is the TOP DOG copy worth?

sounds like a fuckabout in the studio, still love it though, can you dig it

That's funny Ted, your playlists are the closest to mine have ever seen listed (hopefully thats a compliment!) but Brand New Faces is most always in my box, glad we're allowed to differ

BobA you were at the Chicago night where Jimmy Burns sang right, do you remember what a bizarre version that was!?

Just something about Brand new faces that puts me of i bought it in the 80's but sold it fairly quickly still gotv the other 2 thou never part with them and i think your comment is most complimentary :thumbsup:

Anyone Sussed if it's the same seller, same record as the one on e bay last month which the seller withdrew ?

I noticed that the first one up for sale the seller gave the location as Hazel Grove so Manchester is just up the road. There are NS fans in HG but it's not that big a place. Think Steve Foran is from up that way so he may have some idea.

Keep meaning to ask my mum when I visit if she's heard anything on the grapevine. Yes it sounds daft but her cobbler is into NS as is a near neighbour. she's told them that "our Rodney likes records and went to Wigan"

It isn't my mum though so we have at least narrowed the field.

Sounds like what used to be termed "insider dealing" to me

Anyone looked at the scan on this thread and compared it to the scan on e bay,is it the same record exactly ?

This Jimmy Burns finished on ebay this afternoon, Mick Smith rang me and said what did I think about the fact that he was the 3rd highest bidder but within an hour he had been offered a second chance buy at £1200? I said if you're gonna buy it, go and deliver the money by hand and pick it up. Dodgy.

Alrady asked him Pete if i could pick up and pay cash earlier before it ended but he declined PP only and reg post, needless to say I didn't bid.

Tell Mick to give it a wide birth

Darren

with forums like this and the fact that so many people on the soul scene know each other and talk to each other its hard to believe somebody thinks they can get away with a scam like this.

Update on this one for everyone.

This was 'won' by a pal of mine who is not on SS.

When he paid by paypal, paypal added a box stating 'please confirm receipt of goods' - He'd never seen this before ( I haven't either, has anyone on here?)

anyway the seller then emailed something about paypal not passing the money to him for 21 days and therefore he refunded the money ( as obviously we wasn't going to get it without the record arriving!)

Next thing he tries is " I'll post to you and let you know the tracking number, can you pay me direct into my bank account (details given) when I confirm posting?" Obviously he did not pay.

The parcel arrives, and yes you've guessed it, NO RECORD but around 10 sheets of folded A4. Fortunately my pal asked the postman to witness him opening the parcel and confirm that there was nothing inside.

Latest - 'seller' contacts to say he is claiming from the post office and can he have the parcel/packaging back. Unknown to him, my pal has already contacted the PO with the tracking number etc and warned them about a possible fraudulent claim for a 'missing' 45. Therefore to date, 'seller' is out of pocket for special delivery and is likely to find himself in trouble if he makes a fictious claim.

Seller is;-

James Braithwaite

372 Lathbury Road - think this is the Crumpsall area

Manchester

M40 8NS

anyone know of him!

Good to be of service to all on SS
