I think it depends on what kind of valuations as to which ones he is going to sell.

He may decide to keep them, or move a few on.

The ball is in his court really.

As you have probably guessed he's no mug, so the items will be moved at the going rate.

I'm glad hes getting rid of these boring oldies.

joann courcy - i got the power - twirl w/d 1000last two one ebay closed at 1000 USD

gwen owens - mystery man - oncore 500 you never get it for that price. JM ´s auction was 900 

four gents - young girls beware - oncore 400 but seems to be turning up a bit It was 500 before every dog and his cat had one for sale. I think half is fair now. Their other great release "Tomorrow" is a whole dfferent game though 

pat lewis - no one to love - solid hit would think about 1200 but a mate of mine payed 1700 for his last year Last one I know iff changed hands for slightly less than 1200 UKP and remember that a record is only worth what the next buyer is willing to pay anyhow 

masquaders - how - La beat 1000 Seen that too but tend to agree with the majority of the soultalkers on here that it ain`t a grand record

jesse davis - gonna hang on in there girl - era 1000+ I know that JM had that for his recent auction, but...

martha starr - love is the only solution - Thelma 600 Sorry, but "never in a million years" 

don varner - tear stained face - quinvy NEVER seen one for sale - a grand easy I'd say I was just offered one 

Never seen a Don Varner? Have you been keeping your eyes closed for the last few years? I have seen many copies over the years.

link

So Mark, what were you offered the Don Varner for? It rarely turns up, what was the price? I think the copy for sale here was the second to last one I know of sold (e.bay bargain btw).

I will also take 3 mint copies of the Montclairs at £350 each, thank you.

less than a grand

Pretty much all of the records listed are well known, and with fairly well documented prices too. I think the person selling knows his stuff well enough to know what to expect, eh? I'll give £400 for the Masqueraders "How" if in M/M- condition. The £1000 price was a one off freak fluke.

What on earth are you talking about?! There has been several copies of Don Varner for sale over recent years! Many from various UK (and US) dealers and there has also been some on ebay in the last three years or so. It is more than a year ago admittedly but Andy Dyson had one at £500 I seem to recall and I have seen several copies sold in that region. It is not a mega rarity.

£1000 for Maqueraders ? kin hell

£1000 for Larry Wright? Seems a tad steep considering that the copies I have seen all sold in the region of a few hundred £'s.

Ruby is about £400 on GT, ££250 on Take 6 now that people have wised up to the fact that the quality is shocking

I did not buy it, since I simply don't like it £500 much, pretty good tune though. Pricewise I wouldn't be surprised if some crazy person paid £1000 for it today considering that someone just paid £819 for Freddie Chavez. Anything can happen today. Brown Bombers just sold for £720 on Manship's an hour ago, a M- copy sold for £310 maybe 6 months back on ebay, that's how it is today, you can often choose if you want to pay full price, or less than half price.

I'll give £400 for the Masqueraders "How" if in M/M- condition.

oops, was thinking of the "same thing"

Some conditions on the records would help so that people (like myself) can make reasonable offers and take condition into consideration. A description of "all EX unless stated" is not precise enough IMO. Does anyone have an idea what a reasonable price would be for Miki Farrow, for a definite original in top condition. Any theories?

You should be able to get 4 copies of The Masqueraders "How" for £1000...three anyway. I swear a lot of people reading this site have no idea how many copies of these records are around. Last one I bought was £125, less than 3 years ago.

I will buy 4 copies if I can have them all for £1000, no joke. I have been reliably informed that there were loads of copies about in the not too distant past, and I recall when I started out that I saw it at £100 and £150 a number of times, then a few times at £200, then I did not see it so much. Problem is I did not spend hundreds on records initially (which seems rather natural to me, you learn and progress, not like today when clueless beginners throw hundreds at common cheapies!) and I did not buy it when I had the chance. Seems to be one of those records were most copies around were literally brought to the UK and sold cheap initially since there were piles of them. Same thing with Carol Anderson (Whip), Billy Hambric (Drum), you don't see any clean copies from the US on some of these records, it is the same few hundred (?) copies in the UK that circulate, at least that is my theory. Their Soultown release is obviously around in larger quantities than dealers will admit, but when these copies are gone and after all is said and done, I think it is a much rarer record than "How".

No John, Marx was not an evil capitalist, he only analyzed them and wrote a lot about them.

Talking about my point of view. Several copies for sale over the last few years, so rarely turns up, which is different to saying its a mega rarety, the numbers that you are talking about don't make it a commonly available record unlike a lot more (recently) expensive records. Last one offered to me for sale was £650 and it sold (not to me). Anyhow, if it goes for £500 it'll probably be going to me, and I like the b side too.

Brown Bombers price seems to be all over the shop, I paid more than the e.bay copy but was more surpsied by the $400ish that Rocky Gil made, that was being touted as a £700 record not long ago. Someone got an absolute bargain.
