is this new rule just .co.uk sellers to .buyers in the UK ? sounds daft to be honest. I hardly use ebay now and this is not making me want to change my mind.

I think its mroe than just clean up, one of the 2 versions has some backing vocals that don't feature on the other. one of my fave's on the label is Tony Asdley "I'll never be satisfied" there are a few terrible records as well like the rayons so its not all worth picking up.

surely not TOO many others playing it. After all it is a rare record on hold now with a second buyer in reserve if deal falls through. could have sold this a few times over.

Paul Vann "i'm suprised / one track mind" Chance Ex cond very small biro wirting on one side "DJ copy" 750GBP including delivery PM if interested. a superb double sider with high demand and also very rare. if this hasn't gone massive yet its only a matter of time.......

I remember when we discussed this very same 45... great record and prefect deep soul. Quite suprised to see you offering this one for sale.

if you have 3/4 of an all nighter and it is due to finish at 8am does that mean you have to send eveybody home at 4am

the real rare ones are the ones people don't talk about unless they have a copy. you've been around a while now on the soul scene beeks your just starting to see how common a lot of the so called rare records are. demand plays a huge part in record pricing.

is that james bell a reissue ? you should be able to get that easily enough for a few dollars ? amazing love is on rojam.

in the auction update e-mail today it was up to 800.... the plot thickens.

bobby barnes "tomorrow i'll be gone / thankyou for loving me" poormans 200GBP including delivery. paypal gift preferred fantastic record 2 great sides. Heat it in refosoul. cheers, dylan

whats the general opinion on value of this 45 ? the few copies i've seen of "never my love" on ebay have been between 40 and 60 quid but manship has it at 250 in the guide ? seems to be one of those that probably has a much higher book price that its cureent market value ? but a very good record either way......

yes it does nev the mind boggles totally agree.

well they aren't yet and I didn't say they are. but they will be soon all i',m saying is thats all they should be. Both are very common and virtually everybody has had or has therse records.

is it the way ebay lets you search. I realy only use .com for searching for records. I don't think I even see records that are listed on .de .fr .co.uk etc etc ? also its much to general to say prices are coming down. just as many examples of records fetching top money. the records that are widely available will see the worst price drops IMO. for example things like lonnie lester "you can't go" realy should only be 20 quid. Sam Fletcher on Tolie should probably be not much mroe either as its incredibly common. jimmy tig selling for $600 in vg condition all be it the clip was very clean tells me that great and rare records are still fetching very good prices. but good bargains are there if you are patient

crdit cards he hasn't even got a till !!

has this been archived so we can listen now ? or is it real time only......

thats very cheap for something this rare and good. only seen 2 or 3 copies myself. Hardly ever turns up this one. I'd snap your hand off if I didn;t already have it.

thre for sale all prices in GBP and include delivery. Paypalgift if possible please. Freeman Bros "life of love" Sprout 70GBP Ex quality down tempo side seems pretty obscure. Willie Cooper "you don't love nobody / I can't take it no more" Whiz 60GBP ex condition 2 class sides but there is a lot of bass in the recording it needs knocking down a bit on the mixer IMO. Are they all like this ? EJ & Echoes "I had a hard time / you're gonna hurt" Diamond Jim 175GBP vg+ some marks on vinyl but plays fine. 2 great sides one uptempo and one mid. cheers, dylan

john manship springs to mind if you want to sell a collection fast..... also if he' got good 500GP records its lttle effort for a big reward just listing them one by one. the james bell in the piture would fetch a good price and there must be plenty more of that quality by the sounds of it.

thats a good story.

might it be a bit rare then ? it does seem to be one of those 45s that people have a lowish valuation between 20 and 40 quid but as you say it doesn't show up too often now.

I responded to a want today convinced I had the record then when I went to look for it I realised it had gone. luckily no harm done but it could have been embarrasing. so how well organised are you all ? do you know all the records you have etc etc and how to find them ? I had all mine on a spreadsheet on my old laptop but it died and its too big a task to do it all again. some of the records are sorted alphabetically but also a big chunk still to do.

1 record for offer Herman George "It breaks me up inside" Nimrod ex cond copy of a great downtempo soul track. Almost crossover ? 90GBP delivered. cheers, dylan

a sweeping generalisation but I think the higher % of quality deep soul appears on thr flip of the gritty funky stuff than the more traditional northern stuff. now i've set myself up for a whole set of examples that can prove me wrong.......

prehaps not identical but certainly very similar after another listen.
