Wow, the Nomads went for a whopping sum. Very little of note otherwise but plenty of set-sale prices achieved at the low three-figure end.

How can a full description of the Nomads record be done without mentioning that it was a totally massive sound and an exclusive record for Richard Searling at the Wigan Casino allnighters!!?

I can still remember standing next to the dj decks enviously watching it go round on the decks, to a frantically packed Casino dance floor!

A great tune and one that sadly will sadly elude me. 5K is ridiculously high though, even though the disc was in immaculate condition. 5K is an odd figure too when you think about it, not a penny more, not a penny less, and unusual given the final figure is determined by what the underbidder actually bid? I wonder which millionaire acquired this particular record?

No, not really. The figure sets a psychological and monetary barrier. The underbidder has to decide whether they're going to bid more than 5k, and if the next bid goes beyond that, what to do? Clearly the winning bidder decided to raise the stakes on the basis that they really wanted it, and the underbidder had been pushed to their limit.

It's turntable poker...

I didn’t notice what the stipulated bid increment was but it was evidently marginally lower than 5K - it would have made more sense for the underbidder to actually bid 5K or a tactical amount above 5K say £5,005-55. Perhaps the top two bidders both bid 5K and the earliest bidder won? However you look at it, it’s odd that a nice round figure beat another nice round figure by precisely the minimum incremental bid.

I thought exactly the same immediately after I first read it

You lot are not paying close attention. It sold for £5018, see Zanetti's post above
