I'll be surprised if they attract any bids! Perhaps Half Pint will - it's the only one I'd bid for at least.

 

[bosshoss]

That is one of the most insane collections of Orlyns for sale that I have ever seen. However I think the minimum bids are roughly as much as I would pay for any of them. (If I needed any of them which I don't.)

$650 for a VG Sceptres, or $150 for a G Hustlers, etc?

 

[bosshoss]

I think the Hustlers is worth it. There would be 10 or less copies known. I think I'm probably overstating the quantity...it may be much less.
Sceptres is a bit rich at $650 for vg. $750 for mint would be ok.

 

[Botumlespit]

Much of it is a bit to high to attract any competing bids.

and the best ones aren't even there not even a GRAF ZEPPELIN?

i'm originally from chicago area, so it's def a shocking list to see at once. but several HALF PINTs have popped up in recent times (maybe not that clean).

i've wondered who the current eBay whales are i'm bidding against these days, somehow i'm imagining UK soul / facebook guys following Keb's lead, but maybe it's just other people on the board. don't know if anyone will touch these, i'm not planning on it.

 

[Outside_Lookin_in]

Well, the results are in, and two of the 45's received bids: The 2 mentioned I mentioned above funnily enough. Sceptres for the minimum bid, and Hustler's for $162.49. To bid on a G record with no sound file, you'd have to be label collector I guess.

well if anybody needs a copy of the Threats , I can offer one at a "competitive" price....

There's a minty Half Pint on Facebook now @3500

Is it really though? For what is probably the best condition copy of that 45 that's known?

I am almost certain it’s the same copy that went unsold on eBay twice over the last week, for $2500 and $2200 respectively. Someone else pointed this out and their comment was promptly removed.

I can tell it’s probably the same copy because of a slight tear on the upper right side of the flip. You can scarcely see it in the Facebook photos because he has it in sleeve that obscures that part of the label.

He’s probably going for a higher price to fool members that didn’t pay attention to the eBay listings

Well it looks like Rod B. bought all the Orlyns that "Mahslemonaid" had relisted , as all those listings are gone now .

 

[MopTopMike]

Looks like Rod B won't be able to sell the Orlyns then.

$3500 is over-the-top for a VG++ Half Pint & the Fifths.
No other Orlyn 45, except the Noblemen "Short Time", would fetch that amount.
