ok you have a top sound worth a lot of money , the b side has a scuff not affecting play , does this affect the price , or any record that you are selling . thanks in advance

Edited February 23, 201312 yr by gogger

yes but i would have then been out of pocket having to pay the postage at least recorded or registered and not have the record either , thus ending up with less money to buy the record with in the future through no fault of my own

 

I'd have refunded your postage Dave.

I think we are disappearing up our own fundaments here.

 

Its just common sense to describe the 45 accurately to avoid returns.

 

Tiberius I think you're being rather hard on Pete there. I buy off him and he is one of the few where my heart isn't in my mouth when Im opening the packet. Im so fussy I make Premium Stuff look slapdash. Pete knows his customers and in my experience is very accurate with his grading. He tells me if anyone has breathed on it within the last 10 years.

 

The original question was concerning the effect on the value which as PhilD, Nev and Dave Pinch have pointed out is variable. If a beat-up A side barely has an effect in a lot of instances then the B definitely wont. However Im concentrating on the actual grading.

 

The only thing I disagree with on these recent posts is Dave Pinch's [go to naughty step] assertion that it is up to buyer to ask. No its not. Its not up to buyer to ask if WOL or TOL etc so why make an exception for condition of the B side. Of course if when selling you have the full refund no quibble guarantee then the customer is protected.

 

Like Dave Wapples I've had odd 45 that was trashed on B [scratched and clicked]. Actually bought for a mate and despite my advice he kept it. I would have sent it back and advised the seller so. I wouldn't now buy off that seller. And yes it is a ballache having to send stuff back.

Yes pete i know you would and so would another dealer i use but the ones i wanted to return the dealers wouldnt so either risk sending uninsured and possibly end up with nothing if it got damaged or keep record i was unhappy with

Surely a 45 with 2 mintish sides (both the popular side and the less popular side) is more desirable (more valuable) than the same 45 with a mintish 'A' side and a trashed 'B' side?

Rod, thank you, 

The most important thing here is:

why has everyone forgotten my birthday today? 

Pete E, you'd think so but people who buy records all have different approaches to it.

 

And of course going to extremes. Mello Souls no. "Real humdinger" yes.

Depends.  If I was buying say Cajun Hart on UK Warner Bros for myself, if the A side was mint I'd pay the same if the b side was only fair.  I would never play the b side, ever.  If I was buying a London demo of Our Love/ Open The Door, I'd want both sides to be the same condition.

nice one rod send me to the naughty step.you do make me laff sometimes

That wasn't my point Pete, my point is 'if' I had a choice of a Cajun Hart (or any other 45) with 2 good sides or one with a trashed 'B' side, I wouldn't expect the prices to be the same,

I give up - it's like the flat-earth society around here sometimes   

 

Anyone planning to sell one-side-only-graded records on here should please first note Rod's post (#13) about the site sales rules.

 

Over and out 

 

Cheers

oh and happy birthday pete

Personally I do it for the groupies and getting a table at the best restaurants.

 

Lets not all get too polarised over this.

 

Main point is to describe record as accurately as possible and stand behind what you sell as would a Yorkshire sheep farmer, though perhaps not quite as close as that.  Could be mistaken for.....

 

ROD

have you seen the size of me rod,,been mistaken for several yorkshire sheep farmers but never just the one
