Yes mate.

It depends if the buyers got any ethics or not doesn't it really. If I'd known they'd got an arrangement which had been agreed on, I wouldn't have undermined it.

All ok - thanks to everyone for their concern but seems it's ok, just received this I have just this second received a text from Tim, it was a bit garbled but the gist was not to worry and he would be in touch in a bit... Cor blimey you blokes eh!!!! I do worry about Tim though because he has been so unwell what with his recent stroke and the diagnosis of diabetis.... Thank you on his behalf and mine, for your help... its nice to know from Helen, that if something did go wrong in the future there is someone not too far away. Thanks Pete

Great, hang on a bit Helen, someone will be in touch... thanks a million

That's the main thing!

Alright matey modern - sh*t isn't it?

Been told from a concerned friend that Tim ("Toad" on here) hasn't answered his phone or returned a text since yesterday afternoon and that he said he was feeling ill yesterday - he'd recently been in hospital - and was just wondering if anyone had heard from him or lives near him who might be able to check maybe?

£15 on Big T. Harder to sell than a Labour Party membership.

Large amount? they could have fit you all into the back of a mini

No I'm back now

Well at least that's cheered me up

Well I can bring a lot more than that Ian but it's really reggae 45's that I collect, not albums unfortunately - if I bought the albums you mentioned I'm taking a real risk as it's not something I know a lot about. But maybe.

Because he is my butler of course!

Yeah so you keep saying...

Of course, I forgot you are f*cking omnipresent and know what I had for breakfast and at what time of day I take a dump and of course you know about every record I sell and who I sell it and for how much.

What a pointless post. You know exactly why I was buying them, because I make my living from selling records. And I don't have the cash to offer anyone else, I'd only got £1500 of my own money and I'd borrowed £2500 of someone else's money which of course I will now give them back as I haven't used it. How do you know this guy was down on his luck or unable to pay his mortgage? Last time he sold anything it was because he wasn't getting any dj bookings. Yeah, what a way to make a living indeed, worse than f*cking shylock I am..

probably not aware of the thread

Probably - possibly even - but he'll have mentioned my name because he mentioned theirs to me, a week after we'd first agreed on the sale

You're absolutely right of course, no way in the world should this record be even £50. Though quality wise, it's worth thousands.

I'm feeling a right tw*t now for messing up this sale so if you don't get any offers, I'll stick them on my mailing list for you so you can reach a wider audience, or I'll buy the Grapevine lp myself seeing as I haven't got it anymore! Me and my big gob.

I don't like it when people have to resort to name calling just because others have a different opinion that's all. Also I am in the worst mood I've ever been in on here. I think I;d better go light some joss sticks or something.

Swoz I'm alright mate, I@ve got another pc and I've also got a laptop, it's just my main pc thats the problem - I'm actually using it now, got most of it fixed but the sound has died today - not even static coming out of the speakers. I do appreciate the offer though, cheers.

You just don't get it do you? SOUL and NORTHERN SOUL are two different genres of music. Your music is sh*t, don't try to force it on people.

I'm more angry with the fact that I've sat here for days trying to get the money together when all he had to do was ring and say sorry, I've had a better offer, do you want to match it...or ring me and tell me he'd sold them - not make me sit here like a c*nt all week expecting to pick them up on saturday. Secondly, he would have told them who was interested, thats how he does things, he likes to drop names in. I'm not blaming soulmine for anything, I'm just saying whats happened and I'm extremely unhappy about it, mainly because I sold things like The Uniques - Gypsy Woman and Errroll Dunkley - The Scorcher to finance buying this collection and now I'm left without the reggae or the soul. Mate if you'd had a fortnight like mine you'd understand why I'm so pissed off: car cost me £940 for the engine repair, get it home to find they hadn't done the exhaust which was dropping off, had to take that back for a welding job which cost me another £30, then the cd player and lighter electrics all died, bloke charged me £50 for that though I reckon it was probably a fuse! Oh, on sunday my pc crashed and thats been in, I've got it back now but theres no sound. And on monday night, I managed to erase all 9000 tracks on my ipod. Anyone remember "Unlucky Alf" off the fast show?

Sorry didn't mean to be funny but if it had just said 'offers' that would be fair enough, but 'sensible offers' are what you make on a Cuppy original of The Delites.
