shattered

Can anyone tell me what a decent copy of the Good Feelings, 'Shattered' should put me back. Would love to own it. Also looking for the Bonnevilles on Fleetwood. Thanks!

Good Feelings -I don't know but I can guess based on what I think I may have paid. It's pretty rare.
m- = $500 - $600
vg+ = $350-$400
vg = $250
vg- = $150

I appreciate it, Mark. I haven't seen one in my orbit for some time. The Bonnevilles rarely shows up and would fit nicely in the Fleetwood section of my New England garage shelf!

In 2006, I won a copy of Shattered on the Bay for just under $500 (and for whatever reason, it doesn't show up on Popsike - none do). Except for a slight edge warp, it's near mint.
(I was originally selling it with my collection, but have decided to keep this gem.)

I've never seen a copy of the Good Feelins, at least in the last 6 years....would love to own it too, top tune!

Karsten just sold on via Facebook I believe to fund his new record label only a month or less ago.

500 euro for a VG (or was it VG-?) copy, surprised he sold it...

Bonkers price. I have only good experiences with buying from Karsten, top bloke. But some of his prices are pretty wack for lesser condition items. But hey, buyer's prerogative.

Those Euro prices for US 45s offered by those blokes via Facebook are beyond inflated. No wonder the same 45s end up being dealt to the same people over and over and over again.

I know. Strange scene. A certain amount of Euro collectors peddling the same rare discs at M- prices + 20-30% for lesser condition items. And the grading "scale".....vg / vg+ / vg++ / vg+++ / ex- / ex / ex+ / weak M- / M- / M (with only faint hairlines)

They could just as well do away with the grades and call it "okay for deejaying" instead .

weak M- - how does that compare to NM- (near mint -)?
Or would VG be more accurate?

I love when sellers try to make themselves seem like strict graders with a plethora of pluses.
I've only ever known one seller whose grading was that good that VG+++ meant something (it's what most called M-).
At the other end of the grading evolutionary scale, there was a Texas seller who came around in the late 80s who used from VG+ to VG+++++.
His definition of VG+++++ was "better than VG++++".
Anyone want to take a shot at what VG++++ meant?
He also thought play grading a record was stupid; only visual grading mattered.
