Great record in my opinion.

Look at how the bidding went in the final seconds of the auction, from $2000 then two snipers went in with bids over $5000. Maybe someone got a bit of a suprise at how much of thier maximum was used in the sniper bid!!

Never been keen on this one. Who was the lead singer, sounds EXACTLY like Dean Martin! :yes: ( Just look at the pic of Deano whilst playing the clip, and you will agree!) Lovely record for Vegas, during the 'rat pack' era, followed by Volar, now thats a set!! :sleep3:

Snipers sometimes go in way too high . :yes:

A LOT OF MONEY, BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT WOULD PISS ME OFF IF I WERE THE SELLER.

ASSUMING EBAY FINAL VALUE FEES ARE THE SAME WORLDWIDE AS PER EBAY.CO.UK, AT THE NEW 9% RATE, THE FINAL VALUE FEE ON THIS WILL BE APPROXIMATELY £248 UK POUNDS, AS OPPOSED TO JUST OVER £90 BEFORE THE 1ST OF MARCH.

A JUSTIFIED INCREASE ?

Thats only 3rd time i have seen it for sale in 20 years Cliff Camfield sold on to Stuart Bennett for £500 (think that was Guys copy) Greg Tomo won one last year on the bay for $1750 i missed that as well, This time the guy put the sound clip up and think that helped as not that many people would have heard it before and it really does grow on you

I don't know if I'd say that it's "justified" and I understand your concerns. But it's the way things are and you pay a price for the massive market eBay supplies and the convenience of getting payments through PayPal. And by the way, the 9% fee only goes for ebay.co.uk users, NOT ebay.com. Yet, that is. :unsure:

OK it sold for $5260.

If an item on ebay.com sells for over $1000.01, then the fees to be paid are:

5.25% of the initial $25.00 ($1.31) plus

3.25% of the initial $25.01 - $1,000.00 ($31.69) and

1.50% of the remaining closing value balance $1,000.01 - $5,260.00 ($63.90)

That's a total fee of $96.90. Not too bad really, the seller still gets $5163 (about £2575) a pretty decent amount of money to earn for this 45 as I'm sure most will agree.

If the seller gets paid via PayPal there ofcourse goes another 4% ($210) out the window. But seeing as PayPal, Postal Money Order, BidPay and straight credit card payments directly to the seller are the accepted forms of payment I'm sure that won't be the scenario.

Still, if a PayPal payment is made, the massive $306.90 in fees still leaves the seller with $4,953.10 (about £2450) in their pocket. It would be hard to sell that record for that sort of money anywhere else in the world right now.

In the end the buyer backed out and was sold for considerably less than winning bid due to the big difference in bids....I think the record is very good myself..Only comment is i thought when it went for $1750 i thought it was a good price as it is not the sort of record that comes around everyday.

:unsure::)

That's correct Ted. Then Dickie bought it off Stu for £1500. :unsure:

Obviosly it's not your fault. Were you the seller then?

What happened to winning an auction and paying up, committed to buying under Ebay policy etc

ROD

Unfortunately i think that is just one of those things that happens, wether buying a house, selling a car, people back out...could have a good reason so not going to have a go..

I think it's a good tune meself...no i was'nt the seller but you get to hear things..

Had a look at auction and still showing $5260.

I notice it's Burl'one. Bought a VG+ Terrifics offa him once. Completely knackered. Did get my money back though with no quibble but IMO grading maybe not one of his strong points.

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with bid record. Im assuming third bidder #5 had his maximum bid just over $5,000 and both "snipes" from #'s 1 and 6 had been set also over that.

Any idea what it did sell for then. $5160?

Allright Eddie

I had a good conversation with the lead singer as well and it may well of been over 2 yrs ago now come to think about it.He told me all about the Tayster label his other groups and the story of the International GTO's material amongst other things.

A sound guy

cheers
