boba Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I like how he tagged all his soul auctions with TEFTELLER, like anyone who buys soul will know who is he or care. the people who do know who he is will know about how he consistently insulted soul collectors and ebay buyers and sellers in his discoveries columns.

Djr Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 His columns were ridiculous, a complete waste of paper. Just another reason for me to stay away from e-bay. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tefteller?? I like this guy, isn't he the man who left millions of $$$$$ worth of soul 45s in Oakland a few years back, he can insult me anytime.

Md Records Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 One of his "arguments" is that Soul records just aren't "rare", probably why he left them. Des Parker Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Crumb Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I'm bidding on one of his records at the moment. I wondered why he used his name in all his listings like we should know who he is or something, never heard of him myself. He's almost apologetic about selling soul records like it's a crime or something. What sort of stuff does he usually sell? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

He's almost apologetic about selling soul records like it's a crime or something. What sort of stuff does he usually sell? He sells the rarest records on the planet does John but it seems he must have given-in to the power of the market place! I spent years driving past his town whilst heading North from California since the late 70s he was very insistant to point out to me he didn't have any records that would interest me or any other soul collector, and used to put that fact in his ads "NO SOUL RECORDS". Bit like me selling Cliff Richard, I suppose but if you check out our site for Cliff Richard or Ken Dodd you will find we have loads, we got Dollar, Bucks Fizz & The Nolans also, with a sprinklin' of Boney M & Abba. I'm proud to say our Frank Ifield selection is also second to none.. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Pinch Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 as we all know on the soul scene. A lot of records might not be that rare but its the quality of the tune and the demand that creates the price tags. maybe this guy doesnt like soul or has made enough mistakes to be very bitter about it all. every genre seems to have collectors dedicated enough to get their hands in their pockets for records that are maybe not as rare as some people think. you only have to go on popsike and look at the pistols god save the queen on a&m and theres been a few on but it always goes for a stack o money dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

What a prune though with all that "I am not a soul dealer and never will be" baloney. A bit of a motormouth by the sounds of it. What does he like then?

Guest SteveSnow Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Early blues is his real passion - I've sold him a couple of 1920s posters, and he's not shy of spending a few quid on the right thing. A nice bloke to deal with I thought, but I don't know him personally. I think he has a complete collection of all the Robert Johnson 78s - that's pretty amazing I reckon.

The Yank Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I always got the impression that Soul was one area that was far beneath Mr. T. For some reason the early Motown 45s were okay to sell but anything else he couldn't be bothered with. Now, he's on e-bay with "TEFTELLER" next to his listings. Wonder why he's had the sudden change of heart ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
