Forget it. Three Hail Mary's and 1% of selling fee into first charity collection box you see. ROD

I'm in two minds about this. Looking forward to seeing the film and quite enjoyed Soul Boy as entertainment. However the "navel-gazing" doesn't appeal. Im not that interested in what I was doing in 1973 never mind what Ian was doing. To those involved with the film don't get despondent about "criticism" . I remember watching "Anzio" with my dad. He never stopped moaning. ROD

Beats, It is best practice to state condition of 45. Please read Sales guidelines. Also next time can you just edit original post to show bids rather than adding an extra post. This comes under "Bumping" which is also referred to in Sales guidelines. Thank you ROD [Forum Moderator]

I agree it's pricey but to be fair you have to say that the copy on EBay was described as VG+. ROD

As you have failed to read my PM of the 23 April,never mind respond to it, I trust that if you are selling this 45 on here the buyer does not have to wait an inordinate amount of time to receive it as happened with the Tobi Lark you advertised on here back in April resulting in a complaint from that buyer.

T.H was never an expensive 45 when compared to Jimmy Mack, Dena Barnes, Thelma Lindsey. An also-ran back then. £4/5 seen it years ago. However it has turned out to be rare on Giant. IMO more of a collector's record than an in-demand dj spin. £500 seems about right to me. ROD

There are some Phil but sales on here only reflect what is going on in wider world. The newer boots that fill EBay don't appear on here. ROD

"ADD FEEDBACK" facility shows in Sales Forums and PMs. I always leave fb on payment. Often I don't get a message to say received never mind fb. ROD

I get that Vince which is why I suggest selling on here. My experience is mixed. As I said US Ebay items seem to go IMO. Selling generally face to face is nothing like it was but then the reason often given is EBay. Selling on here is pretty good I think but it is rare to get more than one request for a particular record or big response to an auction item. May be everybody wants a bargain ? ROD

I wish more of you would agree with Chalky cos some f**ker is stopping me getting 45s at a reasonable price never mind bargains. Still in the main cheaper than buying in the UK and under "book" value. Gotta be bargain if less than the book. Er....... ROD

Having just looked through US Ebay I see bids on most items that are collectible, and often regardless of condition. I rarely come across decent 45s that have been "missed". No offence Vince but have you considered that some buyers may think starting price too high ? I bet if you started all at 99p it would be a different story. Pretty sure you don't actually sell on here. Don't remember seeing an ad recently. I'd give that a go. No EBay fees or final cut of the selling price. ROD

OK Dazz. Just keep all info as was and add SOLD to topic title and ad post. I'll look at guidelines later as you think they weren't clear enough. ROD

This is what happens when sellers remove info from ads contrary to recommendations in the Sales guidelines. It now looks like someone got a real bargain when in fact they didn't. Thanks Wiggy for pointing out original wording in the ad. Pretty sure it said it was taped up on other side too. ROD [Forum Moderator]

So sad. ROD

Deleted some posts. If members want to know current prices then using a want ad is not on. Just open a fresh topic in LAYB please. ROD [Forum Moderator]

Thank you Pete. Let's hope Nancy understands those instructions. You lost me after Rod.... ROD

Nancy, I think you need to format these sales better. Hard to read really. Just one title per line would be clearer. And maybe £'s easier to take in than Euros ? ROD [Forum Moderator]

All 45s are US originals unless stated. All are VG++ to M- unless stated. VG+ is still a nice 45. Graded under strong lights. And of course happy to refund where buyer unhappy.

Please PM to reserve Finally I don't normally sell UK so finding harder to grade than US. I'd say most are VG++ [EX] in that marks are hard to spot . Some are nearly Mint. VG+ means you can see marks but they're usually few and light. Don't mind doing scans and of course anyone not happy can return. Look nice to me though. Thanks ROD For scans see previous sales lists

Merged the two ads. Rules are 2 ads per day. IMO pointless splitting into separate ads as you have done with Barons and Holman.. Just list what you want in one ad. If you don't get any joy with an ad you just need to add an extra post saying "Still Wanted" whatever and it will go to top of list. Once a week would be the norm. Thanks ROD [Forum Moderator]

Yes I was thinking that too. More reliable than picking up the boots/re-issues. I'd guess that most prospective buyers wouldn't be on here so not really a plug for his ads and if it stops the odd person reading this bidding up to £50 + then probably worthwhile highlighting ? And don't forget the other seller with his double-sided 45s starting mostly at £19.99 ROD

Just a thought. Where is he getting "old records" from if he has sold multiple copies of some. Old boots aren't that easy to get ? ROd

I've booked a phone box. Hope it doesn't clash with the modern soul do they hold there. ROD

There are various tiles on Ebay like that Richard by same guy. Also noticed double-sided facsimiles but sometimes he gets the original label wrong. Think that's a different seller. ROD

And prior to that around 82/83 I'd cut him a copy off the tapes with I think "Love starved heart" on B so he may have played that too. ROD

I believe the title is "Don't hi-jack a wants thread to discuss prices or the nasty moderator will tell members off for doing it, and for causing him work in splitting the posts off into LAYB where they ought to have been in the first place" Some copies have "I don't need another baby" but fetch nowhere near the amount of the copy referred to above.
