Pete S Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Once again, the mystery of the JM auctions. JACKIE TRENT - ONLY ONE SUCH AS YOU - PICCADILLY. This attained the incredible price of £184 in a January auction, and of course in the next few weeks loads of copies turned up for sale on Soul Source, from £40 to £70 mainly. Many of us were astonished at the auction price as prior to that it was worth about £10. Anyway it would be interesting to know if anyone actually sold a copy. I picked one up off Ebay, from the Soul section, for £6.50 on sunday, and that despite there were 11 bids, nobody bid higher than £6.50! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231019433233?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 The same has happened several times, most notably with the Jackie Edwards "Come On Home" which went for £300 plus despite it only being worth £20. I sold a mint one to someone who offered me £80 for it but otherwise I struggled to get £20 for my other spare copy. I think the auctions are great entertainment but I am still trying to work out why people pay astonishing sums of money for such common records, records which can easily be found cheaply with a couple of mouse clicks. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Steve L Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Dont think you'll ever be able to work it out, its an enigma wrapped in a puzzle, shrouded in mystery (or summat like that ) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest MrC Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Traditions has gone for up to £100 a few times over the last couple of years, I'd say £75.00 would be about right though. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

dthedrug Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 HI ALL Pete I can never understand the madness of some people, Unless you are a dealer in records & are shrewd enough to be able to capitalise on what I consider are mad record buys, The problem comes about from rumour on the scene, about a certain 45, the best example I can give is STANKY DAY OFF BILLIE DAVIS cobblestone records, a record that had been knocking about for years at £2, yet for a reason I still can't get my head around even when people like myself were warning people that they were not buying a rare record, the record continued to sell, to such a status it was bootlegged, which sold well, about 5 years ago on ebay, I saw a UK copy off WILLIE HUTCH C/W BOBBY HUTTON sell for £150 explain that madness to me AS ALWAYS DAVE K Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Anita.jpg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Northern-Soul-ANNITA-HENSON-BIT-BY-BIT-on-SEVENS-INT-PROMO-Hear-/370843696208 I think that was valued high by mistake, should have been £10 and came out as £100, never been rare.
