VG (nearly VG+) but I'm being careful.

Below is a link to my Dropbox folder with scans, mp3s and WAV files of both sides. no filters, recorded straight off a Stanton T.90 (usb turntable using Audacity program)

The only issue I've noticed is there are some tiny pits and peaks on the disc where a pit is on one side it seems a peak is on the other. Bad storage maybe or bad pressing? it doesn't seem to affect play though. Give it a listen. and I'll wait to see if any of you are interested in making a good offer.

Any questions or you need more scans get in touch.

Those facebook record selling groups have such ridiculous rules and stipulations. Can't wait for the new taxation collection efforts to take hold, then people who sell there will be liable for reporting all of their on-line sales.

If I want to sell a record I should be able to dictate how I want to transact the sale. And I should be able to sell or offer a 45 on any venue that does so. Why is there a need for exclusivity? There is no valid reason.

It is also nobody's business who I sell it to, how I decide to sell or award it, or, if I want to buy it, no one else needs to know that or how much (if an auction). I am well past tired of people wanting to know how much I or someone I might know paid for some sought-after record.
The facebook group moderators state these "rules" are done to make things "fair" but I think it is just so that everyone can know about a private transaction.
The same 4 or 5 people dominate these group sales anyway, one reason I prefer that offers be made instead of set-sales.

Suggestion - post your quality auction/offer 45s here on G45 before going elsewhere.

I set a set sale price almost as high as the max it has sold for but said I'm open to offers. Which obeys all their rules. I think.

I'll stick it up here tomorrow as "offers" and see if anyone here is interested. You probably all know what 45 it is already.

Thanks and sorry for the mess Boss.

Full openess.

I have a solid $2,000 offer already on this from the Facebook 60s Punk group.

The $3,250 is my dream world price any offers considered.

For the condition, the 2K offer is very fair. A number of hi-grade copies turned up maybe 10 years ago. The Fly-By-Nites 45 is not in the stratified category of rarities. Those were selling from $750-1000, the higher amount as the quantity dwindled.

If your offer is from a U.S. resident, I would feel safe with a transaction.

If this offer is from someone outside of the U.S. you will have to deal with the new complexities for shipping - like providing detailed customs info (full value) including the VAT tax if going to the UK. From what I understand, you must have an account number on the attached form for VAT tax collection otherwise the parcel may be delayed and inspected thru customs. Given the weather and high temps, who knows where and how long the parcel may be delayed anyway. I doubt the winner would want to have the item sent global express priority mail (near $100) but if I were paying for & expecting a big ticket item like this, I would pay the shipping cost to have transit sped up and run through far less processing than that of normal air transit (clearing customs checks on both ends, inspections, delays, parcel storage in hot trucks, ships, planes, etc.)

Failure to declare full value on a big ticket item to someone you do not know personally can result in financial havoc for both seller and buyer.
If someone here decides to make an offer you would be assured of reliability. Most of us here on G45 know how to properly ship and declare value and work thru shipping options in detail.
Insurance, by the way, will NOT cover full value, at least the post office will not, no matter how high a value you declare. They only pay a small percentage, if that, and it can take at least 6 months to get a response. Another reason to ship global express priority.
 
$2100 for a vg to vg+ copy sounds good to me. In April 2014 the G45 Ranking Project arrived at a m- value of $1555 using the values shown here :

Side A : 8
Side B : 5
Rarity 8.5
Legend 9

We fed that into the Oracle to arrive at $1555 for a mint copy. However that was 8 years ago and the current Oracle prices using the same ratings are as follows


mint - : $1796
vg+ : $1312
vg : $884

A strong vg would therefore be around $1100 and the $2100 offer is very fair in the Oracle's opinion. Prices have gone over the top recently for top shelf items and $2100 for a vg+ Fly-Bi-Nites fits that description quite nicely. A very fair price for the seller, but not a ripoff for such a great and rare 45. An asking price of $3250 for strong vg would mean a mint copy would have to be over $5,000, and would qualify the seller as a charter member of the CRPS (Certified Record Pimp Society). :bucks!:
 
I might be happy to take a slightly lower offer and a nice 45.

Sick of seeing all these grown men crying.

I might be being mercenary but I've learnt it from 15 yrs in USA. Supply and demand. All the price gouging in a crisis... I'll take all your words of wisdom and swill it around my foolish head.

Thanks all. Love you all. X

Was there ever a 'small quantity find'
on this one? Never heard about one.

There were maybe 10 near mint copies. They went pretty quick as I tried to get a spare for trade. BW had a few in his auction at the time. I recall his min. bid was $900 or $999.
I alreadty had a mint copy purchased from Hans Kesteloo when he decided to sell his collection around 1992. Paid $500 for it, as that was his asking price to buy any 45 from his collection, be it a Fly-By-Nites or a German pressing with cartoon sleeve of the Ohio Express Yummy Yummy Yummy.

I had a friend in that group send me the thread of your facebook post by text. Jeez.... what a bunch of crybabies.
 
Yes Mike.
They deleted my original sale post. Sob sob... (my sounds of a grown man sobbing...) Because I broke an unwritten rule. Telling someone his offer was no good was "ghost" auctioning. I thought I was being polite. But yes. . unwritten rules. I couldn't read their microscopic nonexistant small print.
Oops!

Now they got a drag me through the thorns post to crucify me. While also encouraging me to repost the record there. The juxtaposition is delightful.

All good clean fun fun fun.
