Labels missing
A mint uk45 without a centre is 50 percent of a copy with. I'd expect no labels to be of similar percentage

What Makes A Record Auction-worthy?
People wanting to get more money than a record is worth or a record that is obscure or rare that there is no current sale prices for. Eg I have bill space lady on a 45, this to me is a 20 to 30 quid record but people are paying upwards of 100 for it as its popular at the minute. If I was to sell it I'd put it on auction to get the most I could for it. Also a few years I found a copy of pic and bill what does it take on charay for 8 quid. No copies have been sold so I sent it to a dealer who auctioned it and I got 800 for it, I'd happily have taken the 400 I was offered privately but the dealer got more in exchange for their commission

Hole Too Big
Could you just wrap some tape around the plastic centre you use to make it wider? They are not expensive and would do the job Alternatively cut a cardboard centre that fits in the record then add a spindle hole and play using that

Selling a c/u question?
All I hear is a rip off of edwin start stop her on sight sung out of tune And its only 1.40 minutes long according to the label scan above. That's a hell of a lot to pay for under 2 minutes

Poor Quality Records
There's one dj I knew who would happily buy vg minus or knackered copies of rare oldies to put in his box. They would then play a bootleg or from a cd Carver of the track and if anyone asked show them the original saying he was protecting it but had the original so could play a copy He said it saved him a fortune and still got spots 🤨🤨😥🤔

Tracks On CD
It was the goldmine Stafford cd that had pyramid on it but that's by soul bros inc and not the artist soul inc you are looking for which I think is on coconut groove records and there isn't any compilations of stuff on that label

Who would I trust?...
If you are selling via a dealer then their commission can take at least 20 percent of good priced items up to 50 percent of cheapies, ebay and PayPal will be about 15 percent so if you can find someone to sell them it is only really 5 percent difference I was offered between 35 and 60 percent of value when I wanted to move a few on a couple of years ago. Pete Smith and Des Parker are 2 dealers I have bought from and would recommend them

Best ebay bargain over the years.
About 60 northern and Motown mp3 dvds for 40 quid

Is it really worth buying from America
If its going to cost 17 percent with fees to get a hundred pounds you would probably be better auctioning them by a couple of well known dealers who charge 20 percent. You are only losing a small difference and it only takes a couple of bidders to get you more than you wanted to start with

If a mint minus is 250 then an ex should be 180 and a vg plus 125 with the record collector grading scale. 313 minus the 20 percent sale commission means the seller gets the 250 it went for on popsike etc

There is a quote in one of john manships early price guide that at least 1000 copies of epitome of sound arrived in just one day. It's not that rare and for sale every week for 300 which is too much for how often it is available
