So is someone gonna give me a kicking or even Ted for that matter for making comment on a ridiculous price for something because Ted commented before the end of the auction therefore he may have jeapodised the eventual price :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Now what I like about a night like this is the Bootleg boys will all be running around saying you cant do this its got to be real vynil not laptops- The same people who were slagging off us OVO people - Hypocrisy is the word I use. Serious question - is this the way forward and will real (OVO vynil) be for collectors only in the future and will this have na impact on prices and guides. I wonder what Styrene Hiss sounds like on a laptop? Just thought we will now have to have subsections in the events forums 1. OVO night 2. Boots and OVO night3 Boots night 4. CD night 5. Laptops and MP3 night

Theres quite a few out there I like heres a couple Black Sugar - Too Late Joe Cuba - Sock it to me

Any of the Vibraphonic Stuff on it Ian? Looks really neat by the way the presentation!

Sold mine for £90 3 weeks ago was EX and I was told that was cheap but I disagree more like Petes price. One on ebay in Mint minus went for £80 a week ago.

One of my fav shows last night. Great selection indeed from the guests. Bring on next week! OOOOPs This sunday as well!

Issue or demo Ady?

I sold Frankie beverly recently for £250 Alfie davidson and the Metros should be around £100 each maybe alittel more for the Metros Majestics £250 or so Major lance £300 or so Dont know what the Jack Montgomery's go for these days Same with George Freeman

Looking forward to it!

I can hear an Echo!

Do we know the source of the FW acetate- Thier is the original acetate for the US copy Kenny had but obviously this is not the same one !

Yes agree Chalky I quoted Popsike because its the only one I can get access to off my work computer but I do look at lots of other sources and even discuss prices with people including record shops in the US and elswhere.i dont go to alot of Nighters so I dont see what records change hands for there but their again you cant take that as gospel as well as its not recorded. Most car dealer sellers have prices based on guides and the ordinary Joe adds a bit extra to reflect the private value from dealers buying value You wont find a car priced 3 or 4 times what the guides or even auctions say but that appears to be the case here. To me its a false evaluation. I spoke to others I know personally and asked why did you price that so high when its worth ? in the guide. Their Answer was " THought I would chance my arm" seeing as This DJ is playing it or it was on this list for that amount! I told them they were off their rockers! but in all seriousness this sort of selling distorts the whole scene in my view! But my view is just an opinion and like I said I love MellyTee's words under her posts about Opinions ! ATb Steve.

Actually Chalky I made a comment about another record and the seller contacted me and asked me why and I told him the record was priced wrong because he had got the price wrong associated with that label The seller admitted to me that the person he offered it to in wants said no thanks but after I had pointed out it was overpriced and why the seller than went back to the guy who wanted it and reduced it dramatically and To my knowledge the guy sold it and everyone was happy(He even PMd me to say thanks) so it works both ways Chalky. The reason I got involved with that one was because I had just bought a copy myself and couldnt understand why the seller was charging 4X what I had just paid for a record which was within value range of the price guides. If his original price was ok I would have gotten an incredible bargain but I know I didnt. I may have made maybe 10-15 comments in the last 3-4 years so thats hardly a habit on thousands of records through the Sales section. Just out of Curiosity! In Last 12 months 2 listed on popsike sold for $148 (£100) and $110 (£75) for Dewey Jeffries

Sounds like its getting personal from you Chalky- Fact! I dont make comments on every record price their is! You seem to intimate I do. I suggested a number of times about a price range forum that would take a lot of aspects into consideration so I was being constructive! All you seem to do is have ago at me Chalky. Yes I made a Comment on the DJ and Rod did give me a little nod re maybe it wasnt the right thing to do which I then edited even after a member on here actually liked my post! I like the Beatin Rythm idea of letters and price range as IMO it will help the scene to be a bit more stable on prices rather than just flippant rises just because a well known DJ plays it or some other fly by night reason! The title of the thread was to ask if Im really out of touch even though I spend alot of time researching prices through the usual channels. Yes I did consider that starting a thread might have an effect on sales but thats what this site is for to ask/question etc. example if Jackie Verdell Are you ready for this on Decca issue was on offer in sales at £20 do you think I would be asking about the price but if someone listed it @ £80 do you think everyone would just pass it by and make no comment! Im sorry to offend you but maybe I am the only one who does query prices then, but I think not! If someone wants to pay £500 for a £100 regarded record then my comments are not going to stop the purchaser. I could go on and on about this subject of pricing but I think other like minded persons will do the talking for me. Chalky do me a favour - Go and have a look at Mellytee's words underneath any of her posts. Id be interested to hear your opinion on the statement! Im now going to put my head in a Bin in Aberdeen :lol: ATB Steve

I watch record prices closely from different sources because as a collector I want to get a bargain like anyone one else and want to selll at th best price without embarrasing myself. We are suppopsed to be in an age of Austerity so where do these crazy overblown prices come from. Ive wanted the site to have a section with a price range schedule to help buyers and sellers. Anyhow Tell me what price you think these two are worth Dewey Jeffries - No-one cared Don Gardner - Were gonna make it My view of a reasonable price for these two (IN EX) is as follows DJ = £100 -£125 DG £150 - £200 So either agree with me or tell me Im off my rocker!

No Mel a lady friends house and I cant convert her to the Mission so I didnt get to hear last nights show! LOL Steve

Are you saying Im not nice cos I missed last night ( Was summoned to her majestys! for the evening)

Sorry shouldnt have posted on here! Good luck with your sale!

Summatsup here! Div Ya ken! Yorkshire and Scotland put together

I need my weekly dose otherwise Im gonn a have withdrawl symptoms. Whose giving me my drugs tonight Melly!

Hi Ritchie - yes Im a lot better than I was a few weeks ago thanks!. See you tonight on BIR Its like a drug You cannot miss it! ATB Steve yes you are at the mercy of Nick as to what side he puts on. I was on SHMU radio here in Aberdeen saturday to do a prerecord for a couple of weeks time- You have to set the records up yourself so if you play the wrong side at least its your fault and not someone elses's

WEll Ive got the Andre Maurice! & I got it from pete!

Pete do a search in old sales as Im sure someone had one on here for sale about a year ago. Brilliant record in my opinion and a little unusual for release year on Drive

Wished Id got that white demo off Pete Smith! Is it time for a revival on this one!

Steve Ive got one of those Nancy Ames ( South African) also got a shirley ellis Soul time as well!
