    Demand vs Rarity

    Sounds "G" to me to be honest.

    The Official Quantity Find list

    How many copies of The Primates - Don't Press Your Luck do we reckon are out there now? I snagged one for about $350 this week, which seems like a decent price but I guess it depends just how many are now out there.

    2017 - a year in wax

    Bit late with my round up. Scored a couple of my top wants but was blown away on The Noblemen, which was disappointing. The Illusions – City of People – Michelle The War Lords – Real Fine Lady – Thor The Lyrics – They Can’t Hurt Me – Era The High Tensions – Poor Man – Hitt The Answer – I’ll Be...

    The Illusions

    Hi folks, Both Keb and I have struggled to post these pics, so I hope this, finally works. Keb got these from a family member of the band. Not sure if they're "unseen" or not but certainly new to me.

    New comp: The Dark Side – 30 Sixties Garage Punk and Psych Monsters (CD/2LP)

    :lol: No man, no other passions. Just 45s. In terms of pure materialism vinyl dominates for me. I have a nice car, but it's functional, not fancy, I travel all over the world with work so travel is not a significant spend otherwise for me, I'm a big football fan but I support my local team in...

    New comp: The Dark Side – 30 Sixties Garage Punk and Psych Monsters (CD/2LP)

    I genuinely can't think of much I'd rather spend $700 on than a fucking cool 45 off my wants list, to be honest. If I didn't spend it on records, I'd only go wasting it on my wife and kids. Don't get the view that the fun is being taking out of "the scene" either. I used to be the only person...

    R.I.P. Glen Campbell dead at 81

    Alzheimer's took my mum 3 days before it took Glen. She was 69 and had been diagnosed for 12 years. It's an utter cunt of an illness. I like a lot of Glen's work but this, from his last album, is just too much for me. So gut-bustingly moving... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2_XnShocBg

    G45 Ebay Watch

    $1700 for The Bad Roads. That's about $1000 for the nice company sleeve. I can't compete on EBay at all anymore. Insane prices. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132283290676

    I was the third top bid. About enough for 70 seconds worth

    Foolish People: clueless ebay record sellers

    He's always been a gent with me, given me time to secure payment, ultra reliable grader, quality packing. One of the very best to deal with.

    2016 roundup

    God, if only the high paid part was true. I did score some expensive wants this year though but I've had to sell a lot of records this year to bridge the gaps in my desires compared to my means. The Chob – We’re Pretty Quick – Lavette Knights Bridge – Make Me Some Love - Sea Ell The...

    Foolish People: clueless ebay record sellers

    Ha, believe me, I have! I do see where you're coming from but think you're talking as a guy with vast, valuable experience. Most sellers on Ebay have a mere fraction of your knowledge. I see ebay as essentially a giant flea market and my expectations of sellers is low. I don't think this seller...

    Foolish People: clueless ebay record sellers

    It's not a PC viewpoint fella, it's just one that's different to yours. You've decided that this record, which is one you desire and would be interested in if it were the right condition, isn't the one for you, based entirely on the information the seller themselves provide in the listing. To...
