Mikevague Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Mr. Northwest records; Email me at mikevague@hotmail.com, I'll get your phone # or you-mine, and I'll sort you out proper for the Chubby Checker! Pottsy( hello Ady!) is right, some of us LA collecters will pay, and very fairly, for rare soul! Playing games with prices is so pre-cyber age, Americans think UK collectors who bullshit with prices are the biggest reason they don' t trust a guy in a store with an English accent! Those days are over, give up! Pay up, or shut up! Better yet, drag your ass over to the US like Ady has and truely see for yourself how many US Doo-wop dealers are John Manship Jr. now! Face it, Getting rare records (RARE, not just in demand!) is really getting difficult, but money ALWAYS talks, bullshit walks! I don't blame the US dealers as they were kept in the dark a long time, god knows how Nancy Yashiro rammed me several years! People all over the world love this music ONCE THEY FINALLY GET TO HEAR IT! Ady's and Kev/Gabbys LA events proved that, so any Uk collector or hustler whos trying to intimidate a mild mannered US dealer will probably get outbid by a Japanese or American collector in the long run, anyway! A record is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it, ALWAYS! Don't hate deep pocketed fools, let em' overpay if they want! But don't low-ball, especially in public!! We US collectors usually purchase records based on their quality and rarity, not what got played at Wigan, cause we weren't there. So be nice to us, Mr. Smith! There is no entitlement implied whatsoever, but no 20+ year soul collector from the UK should start shaking down US soul lovers for loving the music as much as they do, let alone getting a fair $$ for it. I think some folks have a hard time knowing they gotta drop $2-3000 on a trip here just to gather up some flippable merch for their lists that will pay their airfare. The antique and estate dealers in the ghettos in La all know about Northern Soul now, they are online (probably reading this rant) and all of em' have got Manships and Kopple's books. This means if I want to buy La based local soul records, they try to charge me full wack mint prices IN POUNDS for beat up 45s that barly a year ago would probably be only be $1-3! This is a pattern that is sure to grow! In essence, if someones got the goods, pay up, no games. Thank you. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Andy BB Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 (edited) Have I read this right? The idea behind some of it seems to be that's it our fault for not telling the American dealers years ago that they shouldn't be selling that record they have listed as $3 for $3 because it's actually worth $300 in the UK. So if we dishonestly bought their records at the price they were asking for it's our fault now that they have bumped the prices up and view us with distrust. Is that really what you're saying Mike? In the interests of international relations, and ensuring that this never happens again, I've just spent an hour on the phone to some bemused peasants in Colombia trying to explain to them that we're all happily paying through the nose for their produce so they should up the price at their end.

If the records already priced, then buy it without guilt! If its an auction, bid on it what your willing to pay! If a dealer is in the dark, okie-doke does nobody any good, and thats where the stereotypes are built. I thought it a little mean spirited to pick on Northwest records for "fishing for a value"! For god's, sake whats wrong with that? People trust people when their straight and fair, and some unsavory characters from the UK have, in the past, messed it up for others, everywhere! The only way that stereotype will go away is when those actions stop, that's all. Nobody said $900 was unfair, Mr. Smith, but it might not be all of it, either....As I said, there are US collectors who want these records as much as you.

Mikevague Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 A tad unfair I think. For one the advent of the Wold Wide Web means it's a global market now. When I sell stuff on eBay it goes all over the world. I've sold soul 45s to Europe, the Far East, Australia and yes, even the USA. Also, why should somebody's location preclude them from getting the best price for an item. It's not unknown for people in this country to sell antique furniture, for example, to the States as you can get a better price there. The fact that US citizens are aware of the value of soul 45s nowadays is just part of the price we pay for having access to many more records. You only have to look at how many of regularly buy from America now compared to 20 years ago. We can't have it all our own way mate Godz link Tell it like it is!! Right on, , Godz, you are paying attention, while some are not! John Manship makes a FORTUNE off US buyers, I got $8000+ worth of records from him last year alone! (Not to mention the great trades I've gotten from other UK & Japanese dealers over the years!) We are everywhere, the soul economy is strongly fueled by the UK, but it is rapidly shifting EVERYWHERE!!! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
