There are a bunch of ebay record dealers (often in different genres) whose auctions command a premium, due to professional listings, a large amount of return customers built up over the years, etc.

I never understood how people think it's a good idea to register on sites as "Ruby Andrews" or whatever artist they think is cool. I understand you're a fan, but you know they're actual people and not like some object, right?

here's northern soul kittens 1 and 3 buy it now https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=%22northern+soul+kittens%22&_sacat=0&_odkw=%22soulful+steppers%22+%22beat+ballads%22&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

here's all volumes of "soulful steppers" except 4 https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw="soulful+steppers"+"beat+ballads"&_sacat=See-All-Categories a little over a day left

The bags unlimited site specifically says that polyethylene and polypropylene are suitable for long time storage but polyvinyl sleeve (which is also semi-rigid) offgasses and is not: https://www.bagsunlimited.com/c-86-poly-sleeves.aspx#PV I think the sleeves you are talking about are probably not PVC since the plastic is thinner and not stiff, but it also isn't clear on the site. https://www.bagsunlimited.com/p-4178-7-polylined-sleeve.aspx you could ask them. they're probably fine but personally i'm too paranoid to touch any poly inner sleeve.

not trying to be a dick, but i don't see the point in posting these two auctions. what's special or interesting about them versus a hundred other ebay auctions that are on at any time?

Kris, are you maybe thinking of a topic on Waxidermy? I panicked after reading that and have been trying to purge all poly lined sleeves from my collection. I know exactly what that hazing effect looks like too, it sucks and causes surface noise and there's nothing you can do

those UK style envelope mailers aren't even close to secure even with the super thin cardboard stiffeners that people use.

dude, you're not convincing me

I probably could find it in copyright to find a real year but it took 20 minutes to find that DPG thing so I will try to do this one when I have the chance.

I think even the labels are probably the same label. If you look at the publishing on the pusherman record, it goes to a website where they're actually selling maison de soul 45s. I would be surprised if this record was '71, before curtis mayfield's "Pusherman". I guess it would be interesting if it predated him though.

from all your posts I can't tell if you're a real person or a really awesome troll

same dude listing it over and over and over I don't understand sellers that are so stupid that they put high reserves or starts and keep listing rare items over and over and over again. Like the value is going to go up every new week it's on ebay. I just makes rare records look not rare.

maybe in cali, definitely not in chicago. chicago is like one step down from hippies, "yous guys" type dudes with worse personal hygene

Mike, thanks so much for all your work and dealing with annoyances in making this site work

also, btw, it's norfolk VA. I'm trying to find it in copyright now to tell you the year

just looked at a cleaner scan in popsike, guess is one of the writers

I don't know this record, but if it's the same label, DPG was virginia / leni guess related.

ok thanks. but it had "toss a coin" on it which is how I was able to identify the unmarked 10" acetate

this was on ebay recently, right? my friend has a 10" acetate of toss a coin with no artist listed, he had it since the 80s and we never knew who it was until this 4 song acetate was on ebay

the ace/kent masterpieces of modern soul vol 2 has some nice stuff on it. it's from 2009.

ok thanks a lot. I guess I will try it on a white label first.

thanks a lot, I appreciate it. That ahead of our time track is nuts.
