already at 25 quid+ for rhythm quest...dont these people realise that you can get a copy for 12 or 15 from netsounds (2 sellers) and probably less if you actually look harder and dont get sucked into stupid bidding wars....

no doubt all the ebay sellers will now be muttering STFU

Ridiculous..! I've got a double pack of this on Network. Compared to whatever release that is at £25 so far, would mine go for much more?

Perhaps its the quality scan thats temptimg them...:p

I find ebay really "inconsistant". I ahve seen mass bidding on a record that then goes for a really high price(example TOny G "Tony's SOng"- went for almost £40). THe following week the same item will go for peanuts (track went for £1-20. Same pressing same quality).

And that is not an isolated example

ain't it stupid

I have sold my own records for a silly price on ebay and then bid on the same item elsewhere at a considerably less price
and won it

then when my item has been paid for
pay for my item i've won and get them to send it to the winner of my record

mariah 'someday' (springs to mind)
(especially if 'sasha oldskool' is in the title)

but i usually don't cos I feel tight


Its not often i bid on a stupid price item without checking other available items before bidding




I always find if you email the the second highest bidder (during the auction) and make them an offer say 2/3 of the ebay price they'll usually buy it off you instead
sold quite a few lately doing that


RULE OF THIS

Ebay ettiquete THERE IS NON

yeah but it these inconsistencies that make e-bay so great, like it's said above a tune can go for £40 one week and a few quid the next..it's great if you're a buyer and not to daft to check prices elsewhere..

but as the thread says these guys are idiots..paying £25 for a £5 tune.

[RipleyPillwall]

but it is what it's worth to the "buyer"...

I ahve bought (recently) mint copies of obscure early house stuff (84-86) cos mine where used for "work" and show it - this stuff looks like it had never been played...

That bloke who won it (dannythefish) must have loadsa money because I've seen him pay silly money for tunes before, he pushed the price of johnny l hurt you so up to £55 with about 2 days still to go on it and it aint worth that at all either.

You're right mate I just had a look at this chaps comments, and turned up another couple of £50+ tunes from the last week or so.

The tunes don't mean much to me tho!

[jonnyp]

the sunny side up EP is actually a quality bit of vinyl...that doesnt mean it's worth 50 quid plus tho. Obviously if I sold mine it would then be worth 50 quid but as I buyer I wouldnt pay it

I got 2 copies of this if anyone wants to make a stupid offer for one of 'em I don't really rate it much either......

[pauly p]

I sold my copy of Sunny side up e.p. to a mate for a quid (thought I did well cos its poo).

Looking at the money he (dannythefish) has paid I am inclined to think he may be being used to manipulate auction prices...or has more money than sense.
