G45 Ebay Watch

[down-n-out]

I've been on a bit of a self-imposed eBay probation period recently. It turns out that the more time you spend monitoring cool 45's, the more money you spend acquiring cool 45's. Accordingly, this update is woefully late, and probably woefully incomplete. But, here are some things that have been cluttering up my watched item list...

1. A VG copy of Al's Untouchables - Come On Baby/Stick Around on Hunt sold as a Buy It Now for $800.00.
2. A copy of The Dark Horsemen - You Lied/Girl, Stand By Me sold for $338.33.

7. A VG+ copy of Intruders - Now That You Know/She's Mine on IT sold for $317.66.
8. A VG++ copy of Them - Square Room/Dirty Old Man on Sully sold for $249.50.
9. A VG copy of Tasmanians - Baby/Love, Love, Love on Conda sold for $565.00.

3. A VG++ copy of The Lee Vi's - Pictures on My Shelf/I Don't Know on Radio sold as a Buy It Now for $299.00.

The Lee Vi's looks to be a bargain at that price.

I must admit total ignorance on that one. I had to trust the description of "garage" when including it in the round-up.

Cool two sider comped on Michigan Mayhem. I recall Moptop saying years ago that it was extremely rare. Both sides have a great primitive, minimalist beat.

 

[MopTopMike]

I thought about buying it as an upgrade but the seller's grading is very suspect.

 

[HarvestmanMan]

Is anyone else going to bite on that "Rapunzel" acetate? It actually sounds pretty good. I thought about it, but acetates aren't my thing.

Acetates are my thing and it looks like I won this. I bid low not expecting to win but, hey, I'll take it. I would have bid more if the seller didn't include a complete sound file (I don't understand why people do this) and/or if the group name was printed on the label. It's not the Our Gang song, so I suppose it's another mystery group. But the song is pretty damn catchy and if it is unreleased (hopefully) it's a steal for $32.

I bought the Lee VIs 45, on first glance it´s atleast VG++ if not M-, havent had time to check it out more close due to a heavy work week after my vacation

A VG+ copy of the Knights Bridge on Sea Ell went for a penny or three under $1000 in a B.I.N.

...and looks to be one of the cleanest copies that's ever popped up on eBay. It would've been fascinating if the seller had taken bids.

How long was this listed? Reading the seller's patter sure makes it look like he would've taken less, but the buyer wasn't going to chance losing it!

no wonder I miss out on nice ebay scores: I dont even manage to find that ended Knights Bridge BIN. Could someone link, please.

 

[MopTopMike]

Yeah, that was a good deal on the Knight's Bridge. I didn't see it either. Buy It Nows are a matter of luck if it is a good deal/price for a sought-after 45. you have to be on-line right then and there.

 

[pfft]

It's pretty easy to find: just log in to ebay, go to the advanced search page and tick the "completed auctions" box.

Knights Bridge is here:

and Outcast - 1523 Blair sold for $1800 by craig moerer...

 

[eargasm!]

The Knights Bridge was floated around to me before it hit EBay as a BIN...Then the seller changed his mind a put it online. I was hoping to lead him in the direction of the forum to let it go.. It was a little rich for my blood at this time.

 

[Westex]

It was up less than 24 hours I would guess. I caught it within a few hours of if going up and the listing was already showing one offer.

As for the Zeljians... a Mark VII roundup is just around the corner.... less than a year anyway.

I intentionally excluded this one, as it didn't technically sell on eBay. The eBay listing was ended (probably because it sold on his website).
