Over-Rated Tunes & Prices...

Post by stepping razor »

Just sold 20 minutes ago on ebay:
Echo Minott - One Man Alone - Twin Explosion 12" £340.02GBP.
with 6 bidders and 14 bids.

Its not that rare with at least four copies a year popping up on the bay alone.
Some people go nuts for tunes and a lot are over-rated.

Good money for what looks like a UK pressed record that probably sold for 3 or 4 pound back in the day. Just goes to show what peeps will pay for records. Seller rubbin is hands together on that sale !!

With the new bidding system on ebay where its bidder 1, 2 or 3 and so on,rather than the buyers tag,there is more scope for shill bidding.
What i do is check the feed back of the seller (if any) one or two weeks later to see if it was a real buyer.

You're right Steppah, the new system is a shillers paradise.

i saw 4 copies in 3 month of this one...and maybe i don't see all of them,it's rare but not SO RARE! never under 180£...i remember of it for 800£...LOL!!!

Killer tune , i love it...but damn it's toooo expensive!!!

i already took some records from this buyer and i think that he is honest...but who can know?? surely the new system is good for false bidders and no good for honest persons...and ebay earn money!
