Apart from one off acetates I believe that our ´rare´ soul scene isn´t as rare as we might think. Some rare tunes seem to come up every week (with the appropriate rare soul price, I might add). Some of the cheapies on my wants list never seem to come up so does that make them rare.

Anyway, I´ve been scratching my head to think of tunes that have never been listed for sale on ebay. The only one I can think of is Little Tommy on Gogate. Any others?

isnt cheatin kind a one of, sold on manships site this year,or was it last year.

tons of oddball unknown records have never been on ebay. in terms of big chicago records, i have never seen the cods - she's fire, combinations - whatcha gonna do, deltours, admirations on peaches, etc. someone in another thread said they saw the admirations but I haven't seen it.

I think the Deltours has been on and the seller is an American who sometimes comes on here, he must have had 2 cos JM auctioned one for him also I think

Lots of heavy duty stuff goes through ebay unseen by most of us....put in the wrong listing. And I've heard of some incredible bargains as "buy it know"....never had any misen though. Also some of the big cover up's that go to the well informed....

The problem with your question can be summed up in one word . . . . . . I

I have never seen . . .

I have never heard of . . .

It's quite possible that every record ever made has been listed on eBay at one time or another. A possibility that cannot be refuted because nobody has ever seen everything that has been listed on eBay.

So, the question is mute and hardly worth pursuing.

Sorry to be a killjoy.

Nah, not at all. One of the points of this thread was that some records that are deemed to be rare seem to spring up very regularly as has been discovered with some of the tunes listed in other posts.

That's true. Point well made if not well taken.

Bobby Adams.............Thats The Kind Of Man I Am

Hi John, Bobby Adams and William Powell have been on ebay both. Was stint when William was up and got outbid on Bobby, well such is life

This has been on eBay, the latest one showed up just about 2 months ago.

Terry Goodnight, Inticers, Deltours, Walter & The Admirations, Milton James...they haven`t been on ebay so far. Have the Tranells ? Only remember seeing the white bootleg on ebay.

Walter & The Admirations, Milton James, the Tranells

Have all been on, Walter copy was knackered, was out-bid on Milton James by Butch.

But Marc, HOW do you KNOW they haven't appeared on eBay? Ever?

But Marc, HOW do you KNOW they haven't appeared on eBay? Ever?

I guess by trying to do do what we all try to do, keeping track and spending several hrs there every day LOL. But as said by others already and as is proven by Tony Smith` one post earlier, it IS IMPOSSIBLE to see everything that goes up there.

I think thats what makes this thread so interesting IMO.

You live and learn, don`t you ?

Has Jimmy Andrews on Blue Jay been on?
