Guest blackbeesoulclub Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hi, I am looking for the Tempests - Would You Believe album on Smash Records LP If anyone fancies selling or has a spare to pass on to a young collector, I would be most grateful. Please PM me with price? All the best Paul Bailey Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dean Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Had a US eBay seller making repeat offers to me to sell me one at 160doll, think I bid about 120, didn't win but winning bid didn't pay. This was a week ago but had another email few days ago. Let me know if you want sellers email. Dean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Prophonics 2029 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Had a US eBay seller making repeat offers to me to sell me one at 160doll, think I bid about 120, didn't win but winning bid didn't pay. This was a week ago but had another email few days ago. Let me know if you want sellers email. Dean I had this, it was still under reserve price. Put £75 ish on then went $20 over, he came back with a shead load of numbers and his last offer was $160 but I was bored with it by then. To the point of harrasment.

Mal C Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Christ I used to sell these for 10 quid... I'd have said £80 or so for a nice copy, tad more on a demo, only because folk love demo's,... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dean Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I had this, it was still under reserve price. Put £75 ish on then went $20 over, he came back with a shead load of numbers and his last offer was $160 but I was bored with it by then. To the point of harrasment. Had to smile, his first email to me stressed how I needed to quick as several others were after it and it was first come. Then an email saying I could at least be polite enough to reply, which i did saying I could get it cheaper with patience, then a further email asking if I could go to $160. Sorry to drift off topic a bit, I presume Paul is still after one. As you may gather Paul, there's an opinion that $160 was a little high. Saw one go last night for $143.50 (£89) with $14.25 postage.

Jim Ohara Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 This ain't a rare album, there are tons around If you hang off you will pick one up much less that these numbers I'd go along with Mal C, but cheaper - £50 tops 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest blackbeesoulclub Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Funnily enough I have messaged that person on eBay...sound like the harassment will start. I was aiming for £60 - £70 max Like you say, it ain't rare. They are everywhere. Hopefully someone will offer me a decent deal on it... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest blackbeesoulclub Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'm not all that fussed about it being stereo or mono. Just want one really badly Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Staceys Dad Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 great album ..but just wait till everyone is bored with it,then it will be cheap as chips, never buy anything that is popular at the time as you will pay way over the odds for it... 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest blackbeesoulclub Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Yeah your right...just hoping someone comes up with a reasonable offer. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest blackbeesoulclub Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Wow, well the guy off eBay from America was just lovely! Within a matter of 12 hours he has managed to insult me and get personal...I'd say that he is not one to deal with. What a strange way to try and sell something, by getting angry at you for stating what you want... He suggested he will 'burn the record with a blow torch before taking my offer' Well I say good luck to him... On a brighter note I am in discussion with someone who is a lot nicer and is happy to help out. Thanks for all your help guys Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

jocko Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Well...........30 years on, and the demand or price still hasn't abated! 30 years ago you were tripping over these for a tenner, unfortunately I kept tripping over and bought something else each time. Humm!!! not bored with my copy but need to trim the LP's down so will sell my m mono copy. I would be interested but nowhere near the prices being quoted so suspect I will need to wait a bit longer, however if you want a bit sport send me a price and maybe I can be swayed. I am a very good friend of your namesake, just in case thats worth an extra fiver discount! :-)) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
