. Way back I 'm sure Paul Mooney had some stuff direct from Creative Funk with a view to licensing... - I scanned some Diane Jenkins 45s for his project. Not heard anything since so over to Paul......

Kev purchased a load of 45s from Norm myself around March coincidentally . Had to take a paypal claim against him as I was spun the same yarn - got my money back thankfully as it was within 45 day period. Records never arrived at any time ..get moving on this quick !!!

To prove it belongs to them . Remember when I was D J ing @ school discos back in the mid 70 's every one marked their own vinyl with initials or some other means ...

You won 't be able to claim for a broken package via Royal Mail unless sent tracked insured delivery. They will also require documentary evidence before even considering honouring your losses. Just factor it in to your sales as you get one every so often these days unfortunately mishandled. Would deffo ask buyer for photo evidence just in case though

Canyon 45 anything from £10 , to £40 depending who you check

Bob only rules for Paypal chargeback on their website are unfortunately not covering excessive postage : There are a few reasons why a buyer would request a chargeback: An unauthorised payment was made with the buyer's card The buyer didn't receive the item that was paid for There were errors in processing the transaction The item does not match its description

Would gauge @ £150 - but good luck if it goes for that for Tim. It s horses for courses n all that . Often see 45 's listed here on forum that I have listed at 25 % or more less , and I ' m sure others have 45 s listed cheaper than some of my commission sales but they all sell eventually - sometimes it is just a patience game ......

Got both releases by Family Affair - highly recommended - I Had A Friend will have it 's day soon....

Let me spell it out ....500 press = marketing strategy = stampede for the opportunity to own it ...job done ! Not missing the point - the record store day limited issue is a different label design end of ? The Expansion release is on a standard Expansion logo totally different from the 500 pressed , and who said ' it 's never coming out again ' don 't recall seeing that in print but please show me if wrong I apologise in advance. How do you think record label s stay in business ????

Agreed Pete , however a daily trawl through listings shows these sell constantly from the same culprits to no avail. I have even reported fake Motown material to the relevant authorities - They could not be arsed even to reply ....

Not comfortable with it Pete , but yesterday a fellow customer contacted me - He has had dealings with this seller - charged him £12 post for 6 CD 's sent at a cost of £2.70 - When queried seller told him ' fu** *** Nice he too will be leaving relevant feedback in due course . Sometimes it makes you wonder , but I feel negatives were justified .. Sure Ebay will advise him in due course when his D S R scores drop below the accepted level....

Unfortunately when you purchase on Ebay - you enter a contract to agree to pay terms - postage is sometimes a scam . Last week I purchased three cd s in UK - Buyer requested £6 post - I stated it would only cost around £2.75 even first class for that weight - He refused to budge despite three or four messages - Put it down to experience , and left him bad feedback - not something I am comfortable with . Package came 2nd class post - cost £2.20 ...

The Ebay listed one s have been sold by Mark Coddington - He 's a full time record dealer , that 's how he makes his living like many of us . So some on here would rather maintain exclusivity and wank over a rare edition . Gregory Porter is a full time musician - who I very much doubt would concern himself with limited etc etc this is also how he earns his money. Having seen the artist live last year in Birmingham I for one am glad he is gaining the recognition he deserves - hope it will lead to him gaining more exposure - that's what musicians are in the business for. Expansion are a 25 year long established record label - pay their licensing rights and obtain masters to release product - just going about their business correctly. Pity this forum don' t have the same venom for the Ebay sellers who trot out white label test presses of Motown , Northern in demand 45s for £10 plus , and compact disc comps from various soul club anniversary nights.. F F S get a grip - I bought the Gregory porter CD as a new release , bought his second CD as a new release , and will continue buying new releases cos I like them not to cream over it 's rarity ....Some of us just going about our business on a daily basis ...but hey in the U K nanny state you should do as your told ....

He gets more than ' good ' prices , way above the norm St Louis based well known dealer who has a big buying public in USA.... Cleared out Detroit with a mailshot to thousands of individual address asking for old soul 45' s ... something of a machine who lists 100s every week across 2 Ebay I D ' s . Always gets top dollar even for ' average ' 45' s

Just defeats the whole initial objective of Record Store Day though doesn' t it Steve ? Not what they set out to achieve when first developed a few years back. Saw a shop on Saturday in Sheffield ( while footie bound ) that never has customers...300 queing outside at 9 am.... Hours later they are busy listing them on Ebay at inflated prices . Gregory Porter is a great piece of vinyl but a £10 item is what it should be. Anyhow ten years down the line we probably won' t have a RSD all the physical entity shops will be long gone me fears....

Temper temper - just stating facts - facts its been well known for 18 months - played for 18 months , now cos its a record store day numbered 12 its worth £50 plus do me a favour ....go buy his latest cd ' Be Good ' , maybe in two years a ' rare ' soul DJ will spin a track from it....

Aah so the ' Northern ' heads scurry again ( well cos it got played at a rare soul venue ) LOL over 18 months after it ' s been played and appreciated by many ... catch up springs to mind.....

And today 's winner for f***** label of the day is... and unbelievably has a bid https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221001000197?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_500wt_1287

Did not say it was ' rare ' Pete that's a hot potato term anyhow - just one of the more elusive Grapevine releases. At the time of release Grapevine distribution was sporadic to say the least .... as the label was coming to it's ultimate end.... Incidentally have not managed to sell one myself ....seller was obviously a lucky bugger....

Same price I have it listed on Ebay £75.maybe I should have placed it on auction,.. - it is one of the more elusive Grapevine 45' s releases not often found in collections. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/U-K-Northern-Soul-NABAY-Believe-Not-GRAPEVINE-45-/110859132281?pt=UK_Records&hash=item19cfb81d79#ht_500wt_1054
