Clueless ebay buyers

[jerry dickens]

While I detest sellers who pulls of shit like this more than anything, you gotta question the judgement of the buyer buying a UK pronged 45 WITHOUT the little inward spaces (whatever they are called. What is the official lingo for it?) where the prongs connect with the inner circle of the label. These half moons/spaces + the anti-skid ridge must be the only two remaining factors still not reproduced by bootleggers.

UK pressings have either solid, round or tri(angle) centres. The round and tri centres were designed to be popped out to make the 45 compatible with juke boxes.

Back in the early 70s when collecting original 50s rock'n'roll on UK pressings was a major record collecting market, those anti-slip ridges were the main barrier to the bootleggers, who would have loved to have found an economic method of reproducing those little pimples. It's about the only thing I've ever thanked those old multi-stacking record players for.

That art guy seems to have had a major break through lately:

Wasn't this a $70 disc up until recently?

I'd seen it as high as $125 a few years ago, then more in the $75-90 range.

wish you best of luck, but from personal experience this is the beginning of a vicious circle

1 drool over abnormally high auction price of 45 you have a spare of
2 buy expensive 45(s) justiying the purchase with chunks of $$ coming in for that inflated spare about to be sold
3 find out that you only get a third of the last sales price for your own copy
4 feel depressed
5 try to cheer up w/ buying more 45s

hum... there's already quite a few of the same item listed on popsike, with similar final bids... looks hence that those guys know what they've bid on.

 

[mansson66]

Then I must be missing something here - cause the picture clearly shows a sleeve that hasn't been glued together and not a "foldout". But maybe it's a definite 1st press that came out like this for a few copies and ergo one of those (IMHO)silly 'hot stamper' things...

[MopTopMike]

Looks to be a pair of no-nuthin's bidding up the batch of 45s.
I don't believe there are any 45s in the batch worth more than $25 tops.
Most are $10 and under/

Nothing like a bar code to warn away even the most clueless bidder

 

[mojogogo]

Are you suggesting that's not an authentic vintage 1960's barcode?

I sent him an email and he just changed it!!! He dropped a zero.

 

[captainsalty]

some of the orgone accumulator-lots are not that bad - better than the usual trash lots floating on ebay like turds in the toilet bowl. there's always one or two interesting circa 10 or 20 bucks record in it, two or three lesser ones and a pile of stuff nobody needs. he sounds like he has no clue but the composition of those lots shows he knows a thing or two. snatching in repros... not that cool.

 

[Manos E. Brazos]

Agreed. Orgone Accumulator is hip; he knows what cooks.

 

[captainsalty]

just sayin' you'll get more bang for the buck when you get one of his lots opposed to buying something from those Facebook groups that peddle $1 "garage" records for 20 or 30 english pounds.

Hahahaha, even with a five-digit Zip-Code

Don't think he was kidding about inheriting a "ton" of records - those lots have been appearing for quite a while now...
