I almost exclusively sell on Ebay, don't ask me why but I get much higher prices than selling via other mediums. All the "biggies" seem to get above market prices just be careful about record grading be conservative. My advice would be sell only the well known biggies and the very rare stuff, be aware there are of course no guarantees so you could end up with a low-ish end price. Good luck.

Many thanks Chris, just the kind of info I was looking for. I'll bear it in mind. :hatsoff2:

What about" Baby Cakes " Loretta Williams UK Atlantic fetching over £300 at auction . wasn't long ago it was a £30 record. Surely not that rare?

Is it getting plays?

Can't comment on its rarity but expensive it is not, you have been able to buy them on UK Atlantic for about £40 - 60, some even quite recently. Our scene is being overtaken by aliens I'm sure.

Volcanoes - Laws of Love reissue/boot for £84. 

Early bidding was between 2 who had low(ish) feedback so I assume they thought it was an original. The winner, with a "snipe"has feedback of over 1,200 !!

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351895037774?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I was considering trading/selling a bunch of about 30+ of these things I bought in the 70's. The guy offered £300 which wasn't an insult by any means but I decided to keep them for sentimental reasons AND it looked like a big bundle of records for the price of a decent original!

With things like this Volcanos and the Robert Thomas mentioned above, it might be worth having a think about getting rid of them.

(p.s. - I'm certainly NOT having a "pop" at the guy who offered £300)

am I missing something here......

and its in extremely rare condition

well done that man.....seen its just finished guess what no bids lol...as the descripton says..

“Record has been in storage for over half a century!”

will be still there for a while longer me thinks:sleep3:

LOL, yeah our future Soul family will still be looking at that for sale in 50 years LOL. There really are some muppets about.
Saw someone selling a copy of 'Billy Sha Rae - Do it' on Spectrum the other day for £250?? WHAT?? was tempted to write to the seller asking if it was a solid gold disc, or if he actually came from the planet Zog. Oh and it didn't have 'I'm gone' on the flip either before you ask.

And it will be there at least twice as long again at that price.:lol:

Yeah! That old chestnut. Y'know? there are some REALLY gullible people about. I feel sorry in a way that the winner is gonna pay over £400 for a £30-40 boot, but on the other hand, it's only a quick search on Google to tell you what is and what isn't.

4 minutes ago, Northern Soul UK said:

Written to the seller asking wouldn't it be fair to to mention in the description that it's a boot worth no more than £40 :-) See what the reply is :-)

At best you'll just get the standard reply that she's used before ... "I know nothing about these records , I just found them in the loft".

Yep, and to be brutally honest, not her fault either, because although she hasn't put it's a boot, she also hasn't put it's an original either, so it's the usual case of buyer beware and do some research before bidding stupid money

I see the bidder have generally little feedback, usually a sign of ignorance :ohmy:

This seller has now added 'No Returns', and says that they found them in the loft and they had been there for over 30 years, how would they know that if they had just moved into the property, and just found them?? STINKS!!!!! Also they have managed to grade the records, although they claim "I am no record expert" STINKS EVEN MORE!!!!

Wish I could contact the sucker, whoops I mean buyer of that. I've a load of old crap I could do with off loading. At those prices I could retire!

Unbelievable the amount of mugs out there paying top dollar for boots and cheap re-issues.

I am going to put a £5000 bid on this just to fuck them up. They know full well that it is a boot, they are taking the piss so I will take the non payment strike if they have the nerve to try

It looks like he may be using the Global Shipping Program, which costs less, but takes longer

I guess it would take longer going via China/ Hong Kong/ Taiwan.:wicked:

Cecil Washington... I Don't Like To Lose £245 & the seller clearly states RE-ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                                   Alan C.

Jeez whatever next!

current play so people have to have it 

kev

got my ex demo from the states for $25 a few months ago:thumbsup:

 

Many of the pictured boots were the recent ones too, and even the Robert Thomas was a boot. so 4K for 300 records equals out at an average of about £13.50 each, when many can still be purchased at about £8? doesn't make much sense to me.
