  1. I already noticed three different ways to get around the free postage bit: 1) 'handling and packaging charge' 2) offering free postage only if you pick up the item yourself. and last but not least the best one: 3) Quotes like "Ignore Ebay's free postage policy! By placing a bid on my auction you accept to pay postage of $...."
  2. Last bump. Interest shown in a few discs left but non on hold or deals finalized yet. If anybody's interested please note that I'll be on holiday for a few days so any PM sent after tonight or record paid for after tonight won't be replied/posted before early next week.
  3. The bootleg is white label with no lines and no "dj copy - not for sale" text. Every copy that doesn't look like this is an original, (b/w demo, r/w demo, black issue). Samson, I think you're wrong, IMO the one on Ebay is an original. Tho it doesn't look half as nice as a black issue...
  4. Updated again, plenty of goodies left!!!!!
  5. Whoever overpass60 is, he's selling an acetate that was cut in the 80s or 90s and is certainly not genuine. I think in one of the Manship bootleg guide editions it is mentioned as well that NSC wasn't even around in the 60s Chattahoochee3 is Tommy Potts he doesn't sell any bootlegs.
  6. If Wand pressed up copies and destroyed most of them for whatever reason I don't think they did because of a typo in the artists name. Ivorys or Ivories doesn't really look that odd to me if you know what I mean. If they had mis-spelled the title like "Please stray" or so I'd say you have a point. Maybe Wand was premature in pressing copies, the deal fell through and they had to destroy all remaining copies?
  7. Just seen this acetate of Tony Daniels "I won't cry" on Ebay: https://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-NORTHERN-SOUL-DETROIT-ACETATE-TONY-DANIELS-LISTEN_W0QQitemZ310174260237QQcategoryZ306QQcmdZViewItem The scan is pretty low quality but isn't it a NSC (National Sound Corporation) acetate? Said studio didn't open before the 1980s so the record can't be the real deal, can it?

  10. Destination within EU = customs form not required Destination outside EU = customs form required If you forget to fill in the form parcel might be returned to you. You usually get away with it if sending to a european non-EU country like Switzerland but I'd be rather safe than sorry. Hope this helps...
  11. Whatever way you're going to send it, make sure you'll fill in the customs form and stick that on the parcel. Switzerland is not EU...
  12. Don't know if anybody has mentioned it before. But I already noticed on german Ebay the first sellers trying to get around the free post thing by listing an item "pick up only" and then saying the description if you want the record sent to you you'll have to pay say 1.50 Euro. Another loophole might be that you have to offer free post but you're also free to charge a reasonable surplus handling fee... Anyway, I think Ebay really screwed it up this time
  13. Benji replied to a post in a topic in Record Sales
    A mate played the LP to me the other night. The LP has many very nice tracks on it, not Northern I'm afraid but more in a swing/nightclub/lounge way, big orchestra etc.
  14. Maybe Tim Brown mixed it up with Grand Prixs "I see your face" on Big Mack? That surely is worth 700 quid....
  15. Gentle bump. Record's still here. Very nice double sider for a very nice price and it still hasn't sold. What's wrong with you guys? Do I have to throw in free drinks? PS: Audio clips available on request...
  16. It's a german production I'm ashamed to admit...
  17. I certainly agree I said in another thread that IMO Euro releases shouldn't be more expensive than their US equivalents unless they are alt takes/mixes/etc. The "only" differences between the US and the german issue of Joe Kennedy are the latter looks sooo lovely in it's original sleeve and is much much rarer! I understand the going rate for the US issue is about 40 quid so I tried to price to sell quickly. Without any success so far unfortunately...
  18. For sale: Joe Kennedy - Slick trick/Today and tomorrow - German Atlantic (with original picture sleeve) Solid Northern Soul double-sider. Vinyl in VG++ condition. For condition of sleeve and labels please see scans One of the few copies that do not play off center. Without a doubt one the really rare german Northern Soul releases! Definitely priced to sell IMO... 30 GBP incl. p&p. Payment Paypal (no extra fees) Please PM for further info...
  19. Wanted: Gary (U.S. Bonds) - Working for my baby/Send her to me Either US Legrand or UK Stateside or whatever original issue, condition VG+ or better. Please PM. Thanks, Benji
  20. Metrix is about 100-150. You had it on your website in september 09 for 150 and now you list it @ 450 on your site. Why bother to ask on here?
  21. Are these Thorne Modern LPS the "Double O Soul of" or whatever they were called? Two volumes, stuff like Richard Caiton, Carol Anderson or Milton Parker on it?
  22. I usually list my stuff on ebay UK as that's where vast majority of buyers come from. My postage is only about 1.70 quid higher than domestic UK postage so I doubt your theory in a way. Thing is, for certain records that I eventually sell at only about 1/3 of the current price (not the book price!) I have 4-5 or more bidders yet they only place peanuts bids if you know what I mean. My theory is that the market is somehow saturated with classic Northern Soul 45s to a degree. Trophy items, left field pieces (e.g. Popcorn, R&B, funkier stuff) and obscurities being exceptions to the rule.
