Quinvy Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Simplely a lack of knowledge and as has been said,it will be getting a spin at the latest soul nite run by smashy and nicey playin real vinyl in a town near you soon .Don't think it's necessarily lack of knowledge Andy. The boot looks like the original especially when spinning round in a dark room. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Steve J I don't think anyone was having a dig at you Steve, but at the punters prepared to pay such inflated prices for bootlegs.

I'm pretty sure most of us wish we'd hung onto those boots that are now fetching such prices to make a killing too. Yes, agree. I think the tone of the posters is to express astonishment at what these new (?) collectors are prepared to pay for the boots we paid £1.10 for BITD.

Chris L Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Exactly!..........I did my set a few weeks ago, I won`t mention where but the bloke on after me (who was the promoter) was just getting his box ready and Looked at what I had queued up next. Bobby Valentine - Use it and said, "Oh i`ve got one of those." And later, played his box of pressings. I suspect that these high prices are due to "Bobby Weekend" DJs who can afford £100 but not £1500 for a record. Surely most people attending these venues will know that the DJs don't own these rarities ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I stopped DJing at nighters a few years ago as I find I need my bed around 3 but even at nighters probably 70% of people wouldn`t care less what label it`s on.

Steve J No reflection on the seller at all mate, I have all three of those releases in a box in my shed, all bought over the last 5 years and for nowhere near the prices that you and others have got, (£15.00 for the Salvadors was the highest) my dilema is what to do with this large collection of 'pressings' I've collected if they were put on ebay would they get the same price as yours did or might I only get back the £15 I paid for them any tips on selling? tea time on a Saturday seems like a good time to end Is there a rare boot/ pressing scene evolving?

Popular Post Pete S Posted February 16, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2015 I've got more or less every decent pressing. I'd love to get that sort of money for them but they are my beloved collection, some of them I've had most of my life, the Frankie Crockers, Yvonne Bakers, yes Salvadors etc. I also don't believe the hype, there's something not quite right going on. How come I can list an identical pressing for £15 yet it go for £75 on ebay? I'll carry on selling them at sensible prices to people on my list and on here, the f*ckwits can buy them at four times the price on ebay! 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest SteveJohnston Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Pete I listed five 70's lookalike boots & within half an hour I had an offer to buy all five for £250 I rejected & over the next few hours I had received a bid for all five at £380!

Guest SteveJohnston Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Pete what I cant understand is why pay this kind of money for a 70's lookalike when one could buy a Vito & The Salutations I'd best be going & end up with a great ov record that will probably go up in value for less than half the price on your site?

Davetay Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Notice it hasn't got the silver "T" design on the label...it is the 90's bootleg, not 70's, it wasn't played in the 70's Sorry Pete, Howard Guyton was played in the 70's.

Dave Moore Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 People aren't buying these boots because of what's in the groove. Hence it's mostly the lookalikey ones that fetch the money. It's as if a counterfeit meant to deceive has more credibility than a carver for a quarter of the money. Also... if no one cares what labels these DJs play their 45s on then why do the actual 'DJs' spend a £100 on a bootleg that could be got for next to nothing if it's all about "It's What's In The Groove That Counts". I think we all know the answer to that though eh? Regards, Dave 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
