Anyone who thinks Frank Wilson is "poor" needs help. Not a favourite of mine but as an example of "Northern Soul" it's up there with the very best of them. You've just heard it too many times.

I saw that and I can see how it can be misconstrued but Dimples was thinking that the people who ruined the reggae auctions for many years had started to turn up on soul auctions now, when he said fake bidder he didn't mean that the people running the auctions were putting prices up, just some individuals who do this just to f*ck auctions up.

It means there are no CD players. It might not be OVO but at least it's VO.

Most of these bootlegs on Ebay are not actual pressings of records but they are carvers made to order by someone or two or three people who have machines, you only need to look at the vinyl and labels, so they can just list any titles and make a copy if anyone orders it. A few years ago someone was doing Millie Jackson House For Sale and I thought they were threatened with legal action by Ace but took no notice.

I've had ONE arrived damaged and I pack exactly the same as you John, envelope mailer and three pieces of card with the grain placed opposite, the one that got slightly damaged was weird because the guy I was sending it to in Germany said beforehand that if I sent it in a UK type mailer he thought it would arrive damaged. Ended with a little bump on the edge of the record.

Is this the Mexican one? Got a pic sleeve like a wall or something like that? I got two as swaps from someone on here.

I really sympathise with you, they are idiots. Just had one charge me £3 postage, it came with a 90p first class stamp on it, with no stiffeners, and the record advertised as Excellent was G+.

true! I went soft after the kids were born...

Fantastic price - mine was cheap enough - or rather, I reckon that's about right nowadays.

Only had it 3 weeks...

how can i prove it???

LOL Just in a meeting concerning said record...

No quite the opposite.

You serious?

Why've you never asked me for it before, I had 200 red and white Island singles!

But do you see the point I"m trying to make, yesterday it was worth £25, but today it's (apparently) worth £500+. And if you go by that rule, I'd be a fool to sell it for £25 now that it's worth £500. But everyone knows it isn't worth £500 except to one person. Or two.

Unfortunately there's already two in front of you

Just in case anyone thinks I'm bullsh*tting and haven't actually got it, here it is with the phone there to show the date

He certainly produced them, he had their gold discs everywhere

I've just been told that Jackie Edwards - Come On Home - Island fetched £563 in auction just now. THIS RECORD IS WORTH £50 AT THE MOST. I have a copy here someone sent me on Friday which I was going to sell for £25 in mint condition. Would someone like to give me £200, £300, £400 for it? No of course they wouldn't. What possesses people to go mad like that?

Has to be the same chap, the records I had (and he may correct me here) I think were originally Neil Rushtons.

Was told 300 so listed at 250 so...maybe leave it a bit then reduce it
