this is what can you get for three quid these days
Only £2 and from the UK - never an expensive record so don't know if it counts as a bargain

UK record shops for old vinyl?
Not necessarily northern but I've had Joe e young and the tonics, the stockingtops, the heavyweights plus a lot of psych / garage from there - had at least one £100 record and never paid more than £5 each. Not been myself for about 5 years though, but very surprised that no one local ever cleared the place out - that's what I would have done - always in a rush to catch a train whenever I've been there

UK record shops for old vinyl?
Diskery in Birmingham - depending on which of the two old guys serves you you either pay book price or £5 for any 45. They have thousands of 45s plus a secret room full of them on the first floor

Sending an item without tracking on ebay
I don't bother with tracked unless its a particularly expensive record. If you sell in large volumes then the extra money you make in increased sales due to low shipping will more than offset the very few items that get lost in the post

Slipped Discs
This isnt something ive ever encountered but if you are sure its not a problem with set up you could solve the problem by increasing the grip on the spindle. A thin, very carefully applied application of nail varnish or similar to the inner circle of a uk (small centre) 45 would do the trick. Id try it first on something low value first though.

Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons – The Night
When ive sold them before the Motown seems to go for about the same as MW3024. So maybe 10-20 on ebay

Price Of A 45 1970?
Did a uk single really cost as much as 45p in the early 70s as they were only 99p on week of release in 2006 ?
-
Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons – The Night
Maybe a few quid more to a 'the night' completist... the Night on mw3024 is a charity shop regular, I stopped buying them a few years ago because i had so many copies and you can pick up a copy at almost any record fair for a fiver but they do sometimes sell for more on ebay

Valuation of records
I don't really understand how you can expect someone to value them without valuing each record? No need to involve an 'expert' unless you want to sell to that expert as thats what they will want. Just get googling.

Sek's Generation on Goliath
My opinion - throwaway syrupy girl group stuff...very little to like about it

Ungrateful feedback
Not to tar all French people with the same brush but in my experience I find that French people often tend to be the most impatient and unreasonable buyers.

N F Porter - Keep on Keeping On
Yes apparently they attempted to record keep on keeping on in 1978 but couldn't get it right, they then stole the riff and used it for interzone.

Value Please: Barbara Acklin "Fool Fool Fool"
Didn't you just pay $21 for it? And it previously sold for $44 dollars last year so the value is somewhere in that region. Never seems to get many bidders.

Record Digging in Philly and NYC - Recommendations?
Williamsburg is only 5 minutes or so on the L train, get off at Bedford Avenue. It's hipsterville, lots of cool bars, thrift stores and record shops so if you can spare the time and it sounds like your sort of place then I'd recommend a trip over there. There are no record stores in mid manhattan in the touristy areas but you can find some in Greenwich village and maybe the lower East side / East village

Record Digging in Philly and NYC - Recommendations?
Last time I went (2011) I wasn't too impressed with lower manhattan's record stores, Williamsburg is a bit better in that there are lots of record shops though I don't remember seeing much soul. Williamsburg Street market stalls actually had the best bargains, got some v cheap garage rock 45s. Ive heard that the best shops and less picked over are in harlem or out in the bronx but never had chance to find them myself.

Sales pitch?
Speculating on whether an item is original is against eBay rules so just report these listings and eBay should close them down.
