Twenty years from now very few people will want to spend any money on these records...its totally overhyped sales pitch and the lottery record few who maintain the market...
I sold quite a lot of stuff via auction recently and did very well...people are buying if its a bargain as Steve indicates...the economics are market driven....some records become in-demand and its possible to sell at double/triple/quadruple your selling price...esp with new collectors who are looking for new sounds e.g. funky dance driven stuff..or the more advanced constantly searching DJ's who want to have something first or before anyone else
Example Manujoti bought for 30 sold for 300
Sherell Brothers bought for 30 on ebay (Thanks) sold for 250
Richard Marks bought for 700 sold for 1500
Buddy Cantrell bought for 800 sold for 2500
Marshall Donovan bought for 25 sold for 500
Cheaper stuff no one seems to be bothered and its better to concentrate on newer stuff imo....Mind You I have sold pretty much everything I have ...
You got it wrong its commission at 20% making 200 then 20% of that is VAT if its all being done legitimately making another 40 ...a grand deduction of 240.00 from the selling price...if it sold for 1,000
Sounds like a good set Ian....New Jersey Deep was a cracker from Ashley way back....Hope it sells well for you and congratulations on getting it done...
