I think it's some sort of artificial boost to Reggae prices.

Mark G, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 09:38 (twelve years ago) link

explain the "fake reggae bidders" phenomenon to me. are they an organized group? do they have a political party?

flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 09:47 (twelve years ago) link

They have changed the lyrics of "punky reggae party" for their own use.

Mark G, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 10:00 (twelve years ago) link

yeah i don't think it has anything to do with boosting prices. they just really want to annoy reggae buyers and sellers for some reason. maybe they think the music should be free like the three little birds on their doorstep.

My Andwellas Dream LP is at £400 with 7 hours to go...! That's actually not that high for this record but still what a score - thanks again for the heads up Scott!

you might be surprised by what happens at the end. and no problem. just stop fake bidding on reggae records. i know it's you!

scott seward, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:29 (twelve years ago) link

muhahahaha

The Eyeball Of Hull (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:54 (twelve years ago) link

Talking of which, I tried to look at the FakeBidderList.org.uk and it's locked down with user and password, so you can't even see the list of fake bidders. Which seems a bit counter-productive.

The Eyeball Of Hull (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 16:04 (twelve years ago) link

i think they change their accounts all the time anyway. they would have to.

scott seward, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 16:42 (twelve years ago) link

not vinyl, but y'all might dig:

Talcum Mucker, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 19:43 (twelve years ago) link

JacobSanders, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 22:21 (twelve years ago) link

holy

flagsteban postez (electricsound), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 22:22 (twelve years ago) link

I bet your grandpa never imagined buying records back then would have that kind of return?

JacobSanders, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 22:25 (twelve years ago) link

OMG, amazing

Flag post? I hardly knew her! (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 22:25 (twelve years ago) link

good going. told you about the last minute thing.

scott seward, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 22:27 (twelve years ago) link

be great if it was someone close to you. you could hand deliver.

scott seward, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 22:27 (twelve years ago) link

okay, talcum is up next with his vita nova score the other day. start it at 300 pounds and see what happens.

scott seward, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 22:29 (twelve years ago) link

wow, poo~

most i've ever made was $150 bucks on an andre williams 7" iirc

omar little, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 22:30 (twelve years ago) link

congrats!

sleeve, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 22:32 (twelve years ago) link

I'm happy it went to this guy, he's bought a bunch of psych records before and if all else fails I can always send Tuomas round.

The Eyeball Of Hull (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 22:44 (twelve years ago) link

Paid already - now I've got the fear about all this Paypal dodginess that's been going around, is there I should watch out for? I'm pretty sure he's legit, but I've never traded in anything like this amount on Ebay before. What's all this Chargeback stuff?

The Eyeball Of Hull (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 23:10 (twelve years ago) link

some things are out of your hands. did you make him pay for insurance and all that? you should be covered.

scott seward, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 23:13 (twelve years ago) link

I still haven't gotten all of the money for my last ebay sale, which was Jan 14, even though I've received positive feedback on all items except one. Tomorrow is the date when I'm supposed to have the money. I don't even want to sell on ebay anymore. But you have a higher rating than I do and with your higher number of sales maybe you won't have the problems I did.

JacobSanders, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 23:14 (twelve years ago) link

Well, I put that I would ship with insurance, but he paid the max amount Ebay would let me put in, not the amount I put in the listing

But really at that price, I'm not gonna quibble, it's going out with insurance

The Eyeball Of Hull (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 23:16 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah I've been on Ebay since '99 if they have any problems with me I'll be slightly annoyed

The Eyeball Of Hull (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 23:17 (twelve years ago) link

with something like that, i, myself, would spend the extra money and use Fedex and have it sent as fast as possible and hand-delivered.

scott seward, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 23:18 (twelve years ago) link

also for the total sales I had ebay charged me $24 and paypal charged me $11. I know that's not a lot, but still it pissed me off. it's like almost 20% of what all of my records sold for. Granted I'm not a record seller and maybe this is usual, that everyone takes their cut.

JacobSanders, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 23:20 (twelve years ago) link

I'm going with special delivery signed for with insurance, that should do it? I could look into a courier but dunno if that's much of an improvement?

OK I'll spend some time tomorrow looking into any pitfalls of special delivery international, must admit I'm sighing some relief it's not going to Italy.

The Eyeball Of Hull (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 23:21 (twelve years ago) link

btw what's a good price to pay for Bob Seger's Brand New Morning? Is it worth paying more than $20? I heard it was his folkie record?

JacobSanders, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 23:28 (twelve years ago) link

"I'm going with special delivery signed for with insurance, that should do it?"

that should totally do it.

scott seward, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 23:38 (twelve years ago) link

congrats poo!!!

one dis leads to another (ian), Thursday, 2 February 2012 00:10 (twelve years ago) link

Nice going Poo...

Really tempted to flip that Vita Nova i bought yesterday.. but there's already an OG on ebay at the moment (already at 450 pounds!), so maybe i should wait a while...

Talcum Mucker, Thursday, 2 February 2012 05:25 (twelve years ago) link

good call -- id wait like 2 days after that one ends. you can catch all the people who missed the first one. sometimes those follow-ups go for even more!

$0. it stinks.

flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Friday, 3 February 2012 02:06 (twelve years ago) link

Nice one.

I did "this" once, showed an album/auction here I was selling before it concluded, sure it was going to sky. Never moved an additional penny.

Mark G, Friday, 3 February 2012 10:13 (twelve years ago) link

that's what happens when you list in USD

pun crock (electricsound), Friday, 3 February 2012 10:14 (twelve years ago) link

that pathetic joke backfired on me

pun crock (electricsound), Friday, 3 February 2012 10:15 (twelve years ago) link

Ah, the first time I was in the USA, I went to McDonalds as you do, the bill came to $3.01, I offered a $5 bill, the assistant asked "Have you got a penny?" I was like "OK I'M ENGLISH YOU GUESSED, WHY YOU WANT TO SEE MY NATIVE CURRENCY??? (Oh, you call a one-cent piece a penny oh I have one, terribly sorry)"

Mark G, Friday, 3 February 2012 10:22 (twelve years ago) link

She was like "I'D NEVER HAVE GUESSED YOU WERE ENGLISH FROM THAT POLITELY AWKWARD APOLOGY!!!"

once a weak eye sample (onimo), Friday, 3 February 2012 10:33 (twelve years ago) link

Well done on the sale Col. I watched the last ten seconds of bidding!
I wish I knew what happened to the piles of records my grandparents had - hundreds of old once-loved 78s are gathering dust in a box somewhere.

once a weak eye sample (onimo), Friday, 3 February 2012 10:35 (twelve years ago) link

(xpost I do Hugh Grant impersonations, yes. If there's any chance it might impress anyone. In the states. Actuaaly it might have, but I was with "Management" so wasn't allowed out on my own, so..)

Mark G, Friday, 3 February 2012 10:42 (twelve years ago) link

vita nova (not my one) finished at 907 uk pounds! insane!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330679699366

Talcum Mucker, Sunday, 5 February 2012 18:48 (twelve years ago) link

yeah, you gotta try and beat that col. poo and his price. record wars!

i've got a 45 up now and 40 people are watching it. that's a lot of people. the air is filled with tension. i'm excited if 20 people are watching a record. 40 definitely means something good is gonna happen.
