Just wondering, after mine experience from the other day, how convenient can this turn out to be.

 

Well i didn't do to well in the end, paying a lot more then i would have expected... let alone with the typo. When i accidentally saw it, i thought "this is going to be a bargain",  but it wasn't...  

 

but then again, i'm sure that few of you did well in the past?!?

you don't have to stumble on things through fat fingers, or have I now let a secret out of the bag?

Nah, I've had a saved search for 'Epitone of Sound' since the famous Pete S acquisition - with no luck whatsoever!

Well, not just vinyl, but going through Fat Fingers I've had a lot of bargains from Schuco toys, Dinky (and how hard is that to spell) to Kouros aftershave

Have a snipe on one right now  

Fat Fingers was a pain in the arse when it started up, best one I think I had before that was a beautiful 1971 Omega 'Dymanic' watch.

'Nortern Soul' can be productive on occasion...

I bought a Willie Kendrick "Change Your Ways" listed as Willie Hendrick. I think I was the only bidder on a $99.99 start.

Just shows you, to err is human etc.

Never find a bargain unless you are lucky getting the up and coming turntable hit before the masses lock on.

Mine in more recent times is Andy Fisher on Fat Fish. Discovered in the Baby Clothes section EBay.com. That'll do nicely at $250

If youz caan't type proparly youz shuold'tn list stuf

Picked up a record I was looking for awhile ago via ebay.... Jimmy Toliver come shine.....listed as JOHNNY TOLIVER for around $20 US. MINT COPY. 

 

If you dig enough sometimes you just get lucky.

I recently picked up  a Van Dykes SMLFARD issue in great nick for £25, the lad had it listed as the Van Dyes.

I picked up a NM Thunder Lightning & Rain - Super Funky on Saadia typed as Thunder Lighting & Rain for $225 a few years back. Not a real bargain but I was the only bidder. 

Lots!
An original Johnny sayles - can't get enough on St Lawrence (only listed the B side)
Pookie Hudson - this gets to me original, again only the B side listed
Solomon King - This beautiful day - UK Columbia (listed as 'say a prayer for me') Still never found out why this copies 'A' side is 'Say a prayer for me, when on every other copy it is just 'say a prayer'? any ideas yet? also the dead wax lettering is different, but is definitely an original UK Columbia press. intriguing eh?

Most recent Maxine Brown - Let me give you my loving on US Wand, listed as 'Machine Brown' LOL £12 no bids but mine

Edited September 8, 201410 yr by Northern Soul UK

Picked up the Conquistadors - Sadness And Madness in a C&W lot for $15 a while back (the seller wouldn't post outside the States, so I got a friend to bid for me)

Blue Sharks listed with about 40 musical LPs like Sound of Music, King and I etc, Italian lass.

Lavern Baker "I'm the one do it" USA Brunswick Demo, NM. $12. I had the search saved for eons and one popped in email on Buy it Now for $12!

 

There was another listed at the same that went for £95, $140 ish. 

 

Moral, keep those searches saved!
