  1. Paul,I'd ignore that last post by Baz. An untidy box is a small step from satanism in my book. You always put the 45 back inthe same place it came out of with the A-side outward and aligned so you can read the artist and title. Baz is obviously trying to drive you to distraction whereby you end up leaving the scene and selling your records at a knock-down price to Mrs. Baz, who will claim to be no relation. He has a history of doing this. He told my mate there was no B in the alphabet and got Jimmy Burns original off him for 3s/6d. ROD
  2. The wife went to see the play with her ex-husband and it brought back so many memories for them both,they're thinking of getting back together. I can't thank you enough!! ROD PS They both loved it. Rest was wishful thinking.
  3. Alphabetically by surname for SINGLE artists, shirley. And by first letter of group name but divide into Motown,Detroit, Modern[very very small box]and Northern. Dave and Steve M hit on a novel and interesting idea there but as you can see it took a Northener to refine it to perfection The only drawback is that I can never own 45s by such as Rubin or Tate due to lack of surname and Little Ritchie causes many a sleepless night. And that goes for Paris too. Do the words "retentive" and "anal" strike a chord. What order would you put those in. I can talk. I have spider[3-prong] middles in all my USA stuff and they're all the same way round [like a Y] and I wanna know who's been messing with my 45s when they're not. So, I have to agree that the alphabet is the fella for you but don't drink cos if you're anything like me after 5 or 6 I can't even remember the betalpha although my new found best mates tend to make up for it. ROD Ps Forget Mr. Roberts. This is the stuff of Northern collecting!!!
  4. Spanner I PM'd you. For anybody reading this thread, the lucky winner of the first auction of Barbara Lewis was Spanner1012. No relation to Spanner0. Must be a fad. Think I'll change my moniker to "Black and Decker Cordless Drill" ROD
  5. I just used the link earlier in the thread to check on the auction where I won Barbara Lewis this time. Im down as a possible shillbidder when in fact I was trying to win the 45 after some dodgy goings on with previous auction [see Ebay Jokers]. So Matt how do I download this tool and I think a bit of work required yet if data is to be analysed correctly. ROD
  6. I once saw Jackie Wilson "I get the sweetest feeling" on regular US brunswick reach $100 with two people bidding against each other. Is this not just the same. It gets personal sometimes. ROD
  7. https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...AMEBI%3AIT&rd=1 I won it this time around. No overbid. So somewhat inconclusive but I think there was something fishy about the whole thing. The Mad Lads got no bids. ROD
  8. Astounding hypocrisy Isn't that govermnent for the people by the people with hippos running it on the quiet?
  9. Tony,you'd have to ask them. I think they're Southern Baptists and wouldn't hold with that kind of behaviour. ROD
  10. "Why would you sell something on ebay for 50 quid if you could get more at a venue?" Can we lay off Baz a bit. He's been a bit of a naughty boy and he knows now what some of us think about the way to run an auction. As for quote, there is travel costs and admission,usually for two cos the wife never pays. How many times have you sold that Al Williams at a do, given the money to the wife, and when you get home she can prove you spent it all on beer and a kebab!! ROD
  11. To keep everybody who is following this episode of Rodlumbo I have now bid on the Barbara Lewis again. ROD
  12. So, no strong opinions either way then Dave. ROD
  13. Hi Bearsy, yes I did know that. There is a link to Mad Lads as well further back in the thread. A few people on here have been giving the guy the benefit of the doubt but to me,and I guess you, it's bloody obvious what's gone on. ROD
  14. Netspeaky,Shit!! I've just seen your "yellow things" You were having a laugh. My deepest apologies!! ROD PS I owe you a drink. Baz will get you one on my behalf.
  15. You see mate round these here parts Im considered a bit of a wag so it was kinda of a joke!! Is it irony, sarcasm,bathos,pathos. No f..king idea but just a throwaway line to end with a laugh as my singing voice leaves something to be desired. Of course I wanted the bloody record. And the last line means Im just going to have to put up with the way some people run their auctions. ROD
  16. Dave, you know me. I know you. We don't buy anything with the word "Lilac" in it!! Im not sticking up for Baz BUT what he's saying is that he's got his mates to make sure he has a safety net. OK it saves him a £1 for a reserve although makes him look a bit like he may avoid buying us a drink should we ever meet. There's a lot of difference in that and getting your mates to keep on bidding to put the price up. Maybe Baz will think about a reserve in future. He is right about reserves putting people off but shirley that's only when it's an unreasonably high reserve. I did try to start a thread about these wild fluctuations in prices but no one was interested. Anyway Spanner has his Mad Lads and Barbara Lewis. If I understand Pete F. and others correctly the seller would already have set up his false snipe to make sure he doesn't undersell so in a few hours time Spanner may be the lucky winner again. ROD
  17. Baz, that sounds somewhat unethical. When I've sold on Ebay I usually put starting bid as the lowest I'd accept. If there's a difference in Ebay fees for starting at $4.99 or $59.99 say then that's my cost. I don't really think you should have mates bidding for 45s they have no intention of buying if no one else bid. My faith in Ebay is well and truly destroyed. Bad enough with the poor grading but now all this which people seem to accept without much question. I'll tell you, I'll NEVER bid on Ebay again unless it's something I want!! ROD
  18. Well Mark it's 2 copies of the record I bid on and Spanner won plus two copies of the record I didn't bid on and Spanner won. I know it's Fiday and something smells fishy. ROD
  19. Tony,did you get my PM. Did it make any sense. ROD
  20. What would be interesting is if Spanner wins these two items again. I hope guy isn't on this forum or anyone here knows him cos he may just be daft enough to pull the same trick twice. ROD
  21. https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=4870876505 https://cgi.ebay.com/THE-MAD-LADS-I-WANT-SO...1QQcmdZViewItem There is also this to consider m'lud ROD
  22. By the way if you wanna talk about the ins and outs of sniping go and start your own thread. I wanted some advice about how to tackle this as I don't like to be made a fool of by some moron who didn't even have the intelligence to alter the 45 description slightly. ROD
  23. Netspeaky, no wonder we have rampaging hordes of criminals roaming the streets!! Exactly the same down to the small mark where sticker taken off. Gimme a break!! ROD
  24. Well this Snipe sounds wonderful but if you've set your snipe for $61.79 at 3 seconds before the auction ends and my max bid is $101.76, how does that help. ROD
  25. Tony I just use my watch. It's not complicated and free. ROD
