G45 Ebay Watch

Which, for me, begs the question: you have pulled the trigger in past? What has met that threshold?

There might be a dozen times over the years. One I can think of is the Lords on Vance, another the Next Step "I Said No" on MCC, also Denise and Graveyard V. My copies of all those (except Denise and Next Step which I later upgraded), are g condition or less. And I knew it and still paid a lot. When you know that 50 copies were pressed and most of them were tossed into a swamp, then it's time to take what you can get and bid. Anything on the Miramar label does not fall into that category. They will come up for sale every couple of years.

G- in the hand > deadstock that never arrives

Purchasing other top-grade 45s with $$$ needed to potentially cough up for an overpriced G- 45 > G- in the hand

One thing I will say, the seller of the 45 I'm talking about has been very fair and honest by showing the scratches and scuffs close-up, with bright light, proper grading and sound clips of both sides.

The Sherlocks went for a lot of money - because it was stock?

Like a few others on Dot, I believe all are stock.

Worth every penny.
My #2 all time fave garage 45.

 

[Northeastbeast]

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

My all-time #1. There isn't even a close second. The most fierce garage 45 ever made...hands down. Makes heavy metal sound like Burt Bacharach.

Maybe enough for "Jeanie"

You obviously hate the song, in fact, everything about the band and the 45

"Record Condition: Poor (1/2 inch crack on edge of both sides, plays through but could skip on your system) filler copy please no returns, as is"

$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.

$700 for a vg copy without sleeve? That's still pricey!

Money better spent (and saved) would be to purchase a copy of the Savages Live and Wild LP.
However, I have to say that if the Troyes (Battle Creek, Michigan) unreleased LP had come out, it would sit at the top of the heap as the best garage LP of the era.

Well, it has been released finally .....

This has already been reissued by Cicadelic on CD - if anyone would rather just get it digitally.
