kulcha beat records had a lot from back in the day. that people really want on ebay nowadays.

LP various artist- tonos all stars (tonos)
all the early b LP's
those i listed are the one's that i still regret not getting at that time and the one's i still think about til this day.
each about $9.99

They are still there leggo in Kensington.I think you can get the labels off now though[you certainly couldnt before]!

Not necessarily there , leggo ! I picked up a Creation Rebel " Starship Africa " , near mint but with no sleeve , there a while back for £2.99 .

Also , if I remember rightly , the red and white grid went to the next section , and got cheaper if it had been there longer than a week !

make sure you haf your papers in order!

I've seen some rare Canadian releases in local shops and swap meets, but I've always had to pass because they've been too expensive. My biggest miss, though, was probably *Badman Possee* by Junior Murvin going for $10 at a local shop. Someone snatched it before I realized the store even had it in the first place...

The same happened to me with Introducing Scientist on JB. When I came in to a store and asked for reggae the owner pulled out a couple of nice dub LP's for £11 each (I bought most of them). I asked him if he had any more and he said »Well ... I sold these just ten minutes ago« and showed me the list with the dub albums that had two titles ticked off. Burning Spear in Dub vol 1 and Introducing Scientist. Both for £11.

*crying a bit*

I was waiting on my nephew in a recordstore in Utrecht when looking in the recordbins but found nothing of value. But I did it a bit hasty. After that my nephew puled out the same recordbin Keith Hudson Pick a dub coloured vinyl for 15,- dfl. Was around 1997. It frustrated me so much I bought that LP on different labels afterworths. Unfortunately for lots of money. My nephew is still laughing about it.

arghhh; There is a frustrating one; Escape From Hell LP in OG press; I took it to the counter, and seller said: "no, I'll keep this one"

I would take the Wayne Smith's youthman skanking, but the prices are very excessive!!! Yesterday another copy was sold $200 on ebay, impossible to follow...

bless

@ Vlad-
did you kick the seller?
that is terrible the same thing has happened to me many times, but not with anything like "escape from hell"
