He`s too honest by half,that Pete S.

Thing is, I listed it, someone asked for it, I said he could have it, 5 minutes later someone tells me it's worth 3 times as much as I sold it for - I can't go back to the guy I promised it to and say sorry, the records broken or some other sh*t excuse I've had sellers say to me. Bad karma! My mistake, my loss.

It was a compliment,I know your ethics on these matters and they are highly commendable.

I know mate, thank you. Was just explaining in case people thought I was an idiot for not withdrawing it and re-pricing it

So how much did the Jades go for please?

( Pete - you usually leave your prices up even when sold. I kinda use you as a fair benchmark. Change of policy?)

No Pete - this is total transparent honesty and I don't mean to affect your sales thread.

I was stiffed by a dealer on here a couple of weeks back.

Wanted an offer so gave him one - not good enough so accepted his!

Paid immediately as I usually do and then the arse refunds me next day with a - ''got a better price' story.

You can't always be right over a record price or condition for some folk, but proper people on our scene like you are a gem to deal with (send me the fiver later!!!) so credit where it's due as I'm still fuming over my experience.

Never thought about it to be honest, just pasted SOLD over the ones that sold.

It was £40 by the way.

Thanks Tony.

I suppose it's a case of live and learn.

I've got people I won't buy off, I've got people I won't sell to as well.

it went for over £300 on manship auction and then a few were listed on here ..but if you go thru the archives ,the last copy was Phil Shields at £150 and not marked as sold ?

Never saw your price Pete ,but hope that makes you feel a tad better

That's alright thanks Nev, I wasn't feeling bad anyway

Pete can't get PMs to work I emailed you about pat brown was I lucky ?

Phil I never got an email from you, sorry, I'd have replied immediately - I did sell it within about 15 minutes of the list going out though, and it didn't go on SS for an hour after it went to my mailing list

40 quid is a great price.

I think the days of this demanding 300 are long gone though Nev. I'd probably try it at 100 - 125 now if I picked one up to sell.

I sold one for not much mroe than that on here when demand was high.

Phil I never got an email from you, sorry, I'd have replied immediately - I did sell it within about 15 minutes of the list going out though, and it didn't go on SS for an hour after it went to my mailing list

No worries Pete I've no internet until next week at home doing everything from my phone at the moment so it probably never went...

Cheers

browsing through your list yesterday i was amazed at the quality of the records oyu were selling, and had my heart set on the porgy and the monarchs track, qhich id never heard before and thought was golden. and its gone. dontsuppose you have another copy??

I don't Ollie, sorry, but if you see anything, don't email, ring! The phone always takes preference over email because if it rings, I have to answer it and the emails mount up when I'm on the phone. (Also get on my mailing list as it goes out to subscribers before it goes on soul source)
