For at least over 15 years for a mint copy!

I think about £150 is a fair price today!

Wow Rhythm Machine on RoDan for over 736 bucks...

im shocked... great 45 and group but that’s a 200 dollar 45 surley? 

[Billy Jo Jim Bob]

I'm truly staggered by some of these prices.

If Ebay went back to the old days when you knew who was bidding, do you think the sellers would get these prices ?  Anonymity gives bidders more freedom to get silly without their mates calling them out on the price they payed.

not for a long while 

[Frankie Crocker]

We are drinking in the last chance saloon. If you don’t smash and grab the classics now, you ain’t gonna ever own them. Any aspiring DJ needs two dozen of these titles so it makes sense to splash the cash. I deeply regret not buying some of them when they were cheaper but sure ain’t paying thousands for records I can get by without.

So assuming 736 is allot what’s the actual going rate?

paid a tenner for it, maybe memories of the Fleetwood gig (which was amazing) is driving the price god knows, especially suprising given its been re-issued recently

[Guest Shufflin]

I don't think it's a lot these days, mate. Anything decent is going for more and more. Love Addict went for £850 - people were moaning when one got sold for £600 a few weeks back. 

Remember we have a weak pound too, so the prices are skewed a bit due to that.

Sold a Soul Majestics for £35 couple of years back. I feel sick

Soul Majestics is just unbelievable. I had a pile of these from Mooerer some years ago for about 4 or 6 dollars a pop and was knocking them out at 20 quid.  I had both 45's at the time as part of the lot, not realising one was rarer than the other

Inspirations on breakthrough may have been higher up if auction hadn`t been pulled 2 days before the end

[Geoff]

I'll never own Queen Of My Universe by Infinity now. £300 in my Manship book. One of my favourite records, feel a bit depressed, how silly.

Bearing in mind how Moving On A Groove went for, I've got a British issue, how much might that go for?

[Mal C]

Is that the Soul City one Geoff? Tenner.... sorry dude 

[Peter McBride]

See our Scouse mates The Chants on there .... they became the Real Thing 

ill pass this over to Chris Amoo he’ll be laughing his fuckin head off....

[David Meikle]

Wouldn’t it be a good gesture if the millionaire who bought “Job Opening” sent a similar amount to songwriter Sammy Campbell or his relatives?

[Stubbsy]

Larry Santos and Ritchie Adams now both over $1,000

I think the opposite for any aspiring Dj, grow a pair and use some imagination.  You are highly unlikely to get on the treadmill at the top end with all the cheque book Djs about, seek out some of the lesser played stuff.

I mean lets face it the only reason many of these records are the price they are is because of so many chasing them in the hope they will get £50 Dj money at the dog and duck, vastly over priced and rarely anything to do with rarity.

Totally agree with those sentiments. Just a case in point though. Because of the "play originals only" tag that has been self created, this also surely has added to this problem. After all there is always 2 sides to every coin

Dunno why as there are 1000s of originals not 200 as some seem to think. 

There are also plenty of Djs with these so called classic biggies so why the need to compete or add to the count?  Are people so incapable of creating something by themselves and not follow the flock.  Be the shepherd not the
