J Manship Auction Results 20/12/2017


Bo Diddley

Recommended Posts

Hi Folks, Sorry it's a bit late!!
I think I'll make this the last one. The reasons being that the way the website seems to work, some of the completed items disappear very quickly and will get missed. Also, as John is now a member, he will be in a better position to post the full results. Finally, my work pattern will change in the new year making it less likely I'll be around at the time the auction finishes and so I'll not be in a position to play "Hide and Seek" with the results.
 
Thanks to all that have viewed the threads and also those who have chipped in with comments. Very often the auction of certain records flushes out useful bits of information which I always enjoy reading. 
 
All the best and have a good Christmas and new year.
 
Kev Bod

Jean Knight - Stax / Volt Biography and Artist 8" by 10" Photograph - Stax

Jean Knight

Stax / Volt Biography and Artist 8" by 10" Photograph / July 1971 Mail shot

Stax: bio / pic (45s)

Straight from Deanie Parker's industrious promotion office stapled and ready for mailing on July 1971, just a few months after her "Mr. Big Stuff" smash-hit. A FIVE page biography was compiled to highlight this ladies potential for g=future recordings, sadly she never emulated the Soul anthem and it's popularity as a "Girl-anthem" rebuke to men "too big" for their boots..

A stunning photo of the legendary Soul Diva and a five page information C.V. that gives up information NOT documented anywhere else.

Soul memorabilia at it's most collectable.

Condition is flawless
 

Condition Report

Sealed away for decades condition is near perfect.

  •  £18.00

Sorry, this auction has ended.

Thanks for posting Kev and good on you for carrying the torch... I enjoy this feature as do plenty of others, but lack the skills to put it together so slickly.

A mixed bag for John here with some set-sale items getting in the way. Plenty selling for the going rate rather than premium prices -  maybe Christmas has brought some high rollers to their senses.

I like the Manship Mints strategy towards the end of the year - come on John, tell us where you find these beauties...

With the current prices people are paying and some sellers being economical with the truth can we expect to see it on EBay after a meeting with a tube of superglue stated as "with slight crack but plays fine"

Doesn’t anyone think the Valentinos is slightly overpriced. I think I sold my last demo  for £200 and I thought that was a good price

Yes, I thought that too but a lot of the "classics", or big spins from a few years ago are going for silly money these days!

Most of them are overpriced to the point of hilarity.  Chris Jackson £100+, I've listed one TWICE for £25 and got no takers.

I think so too.  Have people really got this kind of money to waste?   Have they ran out of records they want to buy!

Did anyone get the final prices of the two RCA  white demos. At 6pm they were £622 for the Susan Barrett - what's it gonna be, and £350ish for Lorraine Chandler - I can't change.

But why?  Susan Barrett is worth £175, Lorraine Chandler £150

If the insurance paid out on this, surely it would be their property ?

175 Pete for Susan then the one I got from you was way over priced   at 180 hahaha :)

If that is true then it is the first time that i have ever seen pete overcharge on anything, normally his prides are a bit on the low side.

Sorry but was the Gems really an auction item, i expected £50 tops?

Totally agree gogs.... along with a few others namely Chris Jackson and The Volcanos, there are copies in abundance out of these tunes yet they are being auctioned off?! Why is that?! I mean JM might be selling on for collectors but they are hardly rare or presumed to be of 'auction' value surely?! Very bizarre and screwed up if you ask me, especially the end prices of what they sold for....sorry but IMHO no rhyme or reason to it...
