Maurice Williams has gone ballistic Dave.....Become a big revival sound and now every fella has to have one.....though I have to say even allowing for that, it's a joke price. When I were a lad I remember it at £1 at the Casino (or was it 50p), but all the copies have dried up and I guess others are in the chase.....

I really dont know how he sells any records, all his prices are ridiculous 

 

Must be nice to not have to care if you sell anything or not though  :yes:

Not really a £400 sound but apparently in demand and required by eager- to-please DJs. A copy went through a JM auction a couple of months ago realising c£200 but falling short of the sales blurb hype, perhaps based on a US auction copy that went for $565.55 on 24/3/13. Another thread on SS covered this episode. I bid $ 555.55 for this beautiful mint copy as I had a vg+ copy to upgrade and move on - as this cost next to nothing, I was happy to bid high, a 'collateral bid' as it were. Not for the first time in recent months, I was beaten to a pristine record, and it appears that someone is out there hoovering up the mintiest records, money no object... Having been beaten to a decent copy of MW only a week or so before this, my bid was higher than it should have been due to wounded pride, an 'ego bid' as it were. Bidding is motivated by a number of factors and a final sale price may simply reflect pay-day frivolity at the end of the month, finally completing a label run, chasing an all- time favourite sound or simply getting two good sides for the price of one. At the end of the day, it's our appreciation of good but rare records that determines price fluctuations.

Keep On.

The hal blaine on there is even funnier. An instrumental ripping off a kinks riff which doesn't go anywhere and didnt even work for me in the 'blow up' era of the swingin 90s and maxes $50 on ebay... £300!

I would point out though that Mannys prices mostly are a joke as are Moerers who now follows Manship dollar to pound.

 

I generally give myself six months to find something i want before succumbing to their prices.

 

My opinion i know but i feel the big boys are untouchable on prices a bit like the utilities and banks.

 

Im in the real world at the moment and want value for my coin.

Bloody hell , I remember buying Maurice Williams , Gerri Hall [ Hot Line ] , and Soul Communicators - Those lonely nights [Fee Bee ] all mint , and £10 for all three......off JM in the early 80's , wonder where all these copies ended up , must be loads of 'em ......

£400 Christ I better reasses my insurance, haha.

The photo appears to be silver text instead of gold - trouble it is too small to see for sure, but ....

That's what it is Mick  silver text  :ohmy:

If im reading this right looks like you and you fellow bidder sucker punched each other by over bidding. I bet the next highest bidder was $300 behind you two and look at the result another over priced record ]

Thanks for the link Peter. Nice page layout, shame about the prices. Why buy in pounds when you can pay in dollars and cut out the middle man? At least this is not an assembly of recent auction wins priced up to cash in on current demand. UK dealers should be undercutting JM#6 by at least 20% to be competitive otherwise the discerning shopper will just buy elsewhere...

I don't know this seller but in the spirit of fairness when he came up on another thread recently a number of people made some very positive comments about their experiences of dealing with the geezer. He regularly has some nice records for sale.

:thumbsup:

Where do all these second issues come from??Why would their be one of the Family Connection??

No idea mate - I just provided a link to the site.

 

P

The copy Thousand Wonders on the same site sold for £300 ish on ebay last week.... Now it is telephone numbers...

WTF is what I say everyday when I see some of the prices being quoted for records for sale on this forum :0

Is good service really worth £200+ extra though?

I've bought one record off the Jeffries site before, via a pm to a want (I just don't look at the site anymore, it's too pricey). The price for said record was one of the only ones I've seen them sell at less than going rate so I bought it, and service was very good.

I think it's just a case of more fool:

A) anyone who buys at their daft price, and

B) anyone who sets their prices for selling the same records listed on the site at that price

Those guys have a big reach around the world, and will get their price eventually. In some cases they won't. As someone said, nice to have the liberty of risking something not selling with little to no consequence.

P.s I'm sure I've seen that copy of Ellipsis on their eBay site relisted for the last two years at least. Just shows they don't sell em all and aren't fussed

£150 tops.

 

I couldnt believe my eyes at fist when I saw the first copies being advertised around 100 - 150 gbp really. I remember I paid around 15 gp for my first copy and around 25 for my second one... 450 ? a bad joke!

I do it by more than 50% most of the time.  

That's what it is Mick  silver text  :ohmy:

Thanks Dazz, thought I might be seeing it wrong as no one else has mentioned it - So this Maurice Williams Silver text is £425 then.

So how much for an original Gold text then ??

jeez ! even I have one of these . Bought in the 70,s , gathering dust ! ( gold text) probably a boot ! , never been collector , only

ever bought for my self , so where records are concerned I am shit !! :yes:  :huh: 

Edited by Stevie.T

It's Nashville Mains stamped on the original. Surely that's the easiest way to tell it from a boot?

Regards,

Dave

Dave, certainly the matrix is one way, although from a scan, as in this case, the silver text is a giveaway.

 

My point was not so much the questionable value of said item at £425, but the fact that it wasn't even a real one, and that nobody seemed to have mentioned it.

 

Cheers

Mick

silver text = boot, golden text = orig real deal. simple as that. 

 

So...450 GBP....for a BOOT!....whats the superlative to "idiot" ?

I'm led to believe that there are two boots.  Firstly, the green lookalike boot with silver lettering, and a red label boot with gold lettering.

I said that already  :lol:

Hahahahaha uk300 for Hal Blaine!! That's the instro we've used for the live act coming on stage at every Dig Deeper for 5 years.  It came out on Dunhill as "Beverley Drive" and sometimes sells for as much as, ooh, $20 at record fairs here.  Uk300 isn't taking the piss, it's distilling it and calling it champagne, that site's always comedy reading in between sadly hobbling by on hawking "2nd issues". 

Agree totally Pete. Just a mystery that he can post it up in the manner he has. Surely he has more knowledge than that?

 

He has been told by someone on here but maintains it's an original.

He is only 31!

 

:P

 

Peter

 

What's that got to do with it?

The idea is to get the knowledge first and then start selling - not the other way round

I know you've fallen out with me of late but lighten up man FFS.

I did but didn't know what it was supposed to mean, sorry for not being able to read your mind

The dealer should know!

I did email him a few weeks ago when claimed a record for sale was only available on the label advertised, when in fact it was much rarer in its first release label. He did change his description, but as others have said, if you are a dealer, you had better get your facts right.

Pete - can I make a reservation for your next copy of Maurice Williams? £75 with 50% discount is my kind of price. Seriously, the price for this record now has to fall as the market will be flooded with US flea-market finds priced up with popsike tags and UK 'prized' possessions put on the market to cash in on the silly money.
