ChicagoFireSoul Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Mrs.. Vespa (wife of noted Milwaukee-area DJ and record collector Ric Vespa) is facing the twin agonies of cancer treatment, and the accompanying mountain of unreimbursed medical expenses. I strongly encourage all who can to go to https://www.mrsvespa.com/ and "Raise a Pint for Mrs. Vespa" by making a donation of $5.00 or more. Like most record collectors and occasional DJs, I have a few (somewhat) valuable records in my collection that I haven’t played in a very long time. Why not find these vinyl rarities a place in a loving home, and assist a fellow traveler at the same time? So, I put this one up one up on eBay. 100% of the proceeds will go to the Mrs. Vespa Cancer Treatment Fund. If you like the record, please bid on it. https://www.ebay.com/...984.m1555.l2649 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 That's a great thing you're doing. Never heard of the people but I'll be happy to send a $5 donation. I think you may be disappointed in the price you get for your Dee Edwards though, I sold one 2 weeks ago and it was at half the book price, I doubt if anyone's ever got near that price with it.

Pete S Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Thought I'd bump this as it's had so few views - probably because the topic title doesn't make a lot of sense to someone who doesn't know anything about it (like me) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Do you mind if i copy this to a couple of scooter forums? He won't mind, for sure, he asked if I could maybe spread the word so I'm sure he won't mind if you do too Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest ScooterNik Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Cheers, I'll get on it in a little while. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
ChicagoFireSoul Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thanks for spreading the word. I actually agree with what you said about record values. In a world in which ebay, popsike, and collectorsfrenzy are accessible on the phones that we carry in our pockets, a voluminous price guide book seems a bit unnecessary. I still buy every edition of Manship's book anyway, as the updated info as to boots, counterfeits, reissues & other dodgy records is extremely valuable. One note about the Dee Edwards record on eBay: the writing on the b-side label indicates that, at some sort of garage sale or rummage sale, this record was offered for five US cents. No, I am not the person who got this record for that sum, but once upon a time, this record really made one crate diggers day! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thanks for spreading the word. Well I hope some good comes of it, I sent it to 1200 people on my mailing list yesterday plus 1100 on facebook so out of 2300, there will be a few people who'll donate, they always do, good as gold Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
