ive put a bid on this, only to find two other bidders had enter higher bids than me.....

then got a message from ebay to say i was now the highest bidder, as their bids had been retracted

when i looked on ebay 2 bidders had retracted their high bids,

one stating he had entered the wrong amount the other in german, which is not my strong point.

do these bidders know something i dont..

any help would be appreciated

lets not go down the "its rubbish and the bidders came to their senses" route though eh......

thanks, shep

Shill bidding?

The German translated by an on-line translator is ''Wrong amount of requirement entered" pretty much the same as the other reason given for retracting the bid

It's a small world, and perhaps they've been 'advised' by another collector that it's not worth X amount so that they can get it for less?

A mate of mine sold his for £500 to a DJ not long ago, and the DJ told another mate he only paid £300 for it of the same seller! Maybe they've been told the same?

I had this record a few years ago and it was a definate original, the one on ebay looks the same colour and label layout, I would say its alright. I remember Richard Searling used to play it in his modern spot, in the early 80's.

You could ask him what's in the run out and if it looks stamped or scratched in.

ive done just that, will keep you posted of the response,

Shute! It's not that good!

I think it's a great record, but this price is INSANE

Can anyone put up a sound clip, not sure I've heard this and I'm intrigued by a $2,200 price tag

Matter of interest,has this been booted/re-issued than??If so can someone either pm me or put it on here how you tell the differance,i.e no`s on the run out etc...

Nice tune but silly price .

Great track Latin Freak. Other side's decent as well. Fancy posting up the disco flip of the other issue?

Cheers mucker

So presume we're talking about "Playing Your Game" ? Read the thread but it's not clear. No nightmare for me Simon - very overrated record - in fact poor I would say, never fancied playing it out early '80s, much better stuff around at the time - pleased with a couple of hundred quid a canny while ago. Money is'nt everything

Yeah i know its the 7mph band it was mearly a statement at the crazy prices at the mo.same seller has Flight-"no more part...."fly 4 which we used to play at only $199, a D Raistrick discovery i think.
