was this ever issued , ive only ever seen demos

hi just got this months record collector magazine , in there is a kiki dee discography and valuation for some of the stuff , it lists on a maginc carpet ride 45 on fontana for £65 we all know that this seems to make well in excess of £100 up to around £150 ish every time it is for sale on lists auctions etc so what is the correct value and why is there such a great difference in the selling value and the price guide value is it because record collector is under pricing stuff but as they have been the main magazine for the last 20 odd years i thought they may have a good idea of stuffs value , or is it that the 45 is more valued to soul collectors than uk 60s collectors. scanning popsike for ebay results it seems it has sold for between 80 and just over 200 pounds , is this a case of people being prepared to pay more than its worth ot get a copy

mr manship lists the chess issue for 85 and the tarpon blue or green for 175 bit over the top i think

thanks everyone

hi ive been offered a record on an audiodisc acetate but im not sure what this is is it like an emi disc / vinyl carvers boot type thing or a legit company / label release ive had some records from the seller before in a trade and they were all ok but ive also been caught by a different seller with an acetate before and got stung for 75 quid so i said i wouldnt touch them again thanks in advance dave

75 is well over the top , i got this in a lot of 30 records and it averaged about 4 quid , would say 25 / 30 top

whatever you do dont pay 50 quid for an acetate , buy the original cd and get one done at vinyl carvers for 20 , im not condoning bootlegging but if people were paying 50 for this they were ripped off , if you buy the original cd then at least some royalties are paid i only bought one acetate in my life , got conned 75 for it , moved it on in a trade

this definatly exists got one in front of me now dutch tamla motown orange label go 25.575 tamla 54149 will try and do a scan over the weekend i was offered 35 for this from russoul on this forum but turned it down any ideas what its worth

someone on here asked me for the willis wooten 45 2 days after i swapped it with hammy so come on whoever it was get this great track and its mint condition and great value shame im leaning towards the r&b sound at the moment or i may be tempted to get this back dave

ive now heard both versions , i see theres an lp by elisabeth lands or is it elizabeth lands on ebay with the said track on i was led to believe it was an uptempo r&b tune but it seems to be a nice gospel song thanks everyone for your help dav

this sounds like it anyone got a soundfile or a copy to sell dav

i was talking to one of my mates that assures me he has heard a song called walk softly children which is an alternative vocal to the wade in the water tune he didnt know the artist but insisted it was **** rare and existed i have asked afew people but noone knows of this , was he winding me up as im not to well informed in the r&b side of things dav

the gold label ones are a second run done by the label owner who was asked for the record several times but didnt have any copies left he then produced some more copies from the master but gave them a gold label insted of the green one so it is a legal reissue / second issue make of it what ever you want after all do you think all the motown records were only pressed once , when they sold nearly all their stock and the record is in the charts they produce some more to supply the demand

why not contact the other bidders of the record when it didnt reach its reserve and offer it to them , explain the condition and then get what you can for it i bet if you asked around there would be someone with an old ebay identity , bid up his stuff so he gets large fees but dont go really silly ie millions or the item will just be cancelled not a good thing to do but at least he will have to shell out for the fees so he wont have the money you sent him

they say that the transaction has gone through but every time i try to email the address i get it returned as no such addy its getting to the point now when i will have to get all sellers to send me an invoice requesting money and then pay them that way dav

ive just had a problem with paypal , the seller gave me the wrong address to send payment to id sent payment before they noticed , funds went out of my account when i contacted paypal they said tough you got to get the person with the account you sent money to to return it i emailed them twice but both times it was bounced as no address exists grrrrrrrrrrrrrr think ill go back to cheque book and buying from lists

why keep a record that you dont like? if you can get some money for it and buy something you want all the better you said you would walk out of anywhere playing it so you would obviously never dj with it sell it to someone who wants this and get something you want , i cant understand people having records they dont like unless they are a dealer or have bought to trade on even if i buy something blind that i dont like i have often traded them at a loss to get something i wanted

he didnt accept the £20 despite agreeing that its was only worth that and he had paid less said he would wait for someone to pay top wack dave

nobody likes to admit that records they have are worth less than they though most dealers will try and list stuff high then get you to knock them down ive found , after all if they reduce it they cant put the price up during negotiations. there are alot of people , especially on ebay who think that just because its sold for x amount it will always be worth that , at the last but one peterborough railway club there was a bloke asking £130 for a betty swann kiss my love good bye but said hed take £100 i replyed that it wasnt worth that and was played out and overpriced , he said make me a realistic offer i offered him £20 cos it was not rare and never will be just hyped up he agreed with me about the value but said someone will pay lots for it as its been popular
