Dave Pinch Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Thanks for that, It's the first time I've seen a listing like it. Couldn't see a reason until you pointed it out. i thought the reason was him being a complete idiot roger. hope you are well buddy Edited September 7, 2012 by dave pinch Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
boba Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I think he will accept what he feels is a reasonable offer (which might be a crazy price or might not, depending on what he googles). I think he's pretty new to the world of record pricing. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Pinch Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 he seems paranoid if he fears gettin ripped off over something he knows nothin about.. he should invest in a price guide at least before listing anything or just let things ride and be done with Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I wanted to buy some stuff of Ebay, the bloke lived about 2 miles away, he was offering free delivery, when I asked what the price reduction would be if I came pick them up he said "nothing, it's free".........needless to say I didn't bid. When you trawl though Ebay I am constantly astounded at the enormous amount of sellers who haven't got a clue. Nr.1 rule in selling is "have a fundamental knowledge of your market". Once heard a bloke at a US record fair say "I'll sell this on Ebay, those Brits will buy anything that's called Northern Soul" in reality we Brits know more about the value of these records than anyone else. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Diggin' Dave Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 About the seller: When he just put 'em online the records were priced differently, I bought a few nice things of him, but the next morning I got messages asking me to cancel all my purchases because there were 'data issues' and I noticed all other prices were changed to $999.99. So I guess he doesn't want to sell them right now or he's just a lunatic which makes him perfectly suitable as a record seller. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
boba Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 right when he started i actually did get a few things from him, delivered, i guess before he went totally off his meds Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Diggin' Dave Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Seems like there were some good records for sale before and his feedback shows that he handled the sales properly. And it also shows that I wasn't the only one that's got his purchases cancelled, going by his plummeting feedback rates. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The Yank Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) if he did his homework.... why would he start it at $999.99 and then take $300 ? Did anyone ever pay $300 for this ?

Obviously, he's not expecting anyone to pay $999, but make him reasonable offers. I don't know, which is why I'm asking, but doesn't he have to pay a lot more for having a $999.99 price tag compared to say a $9.99 price tag?
