Ebay, Light Of My Life, Fire Of My Loins, My Sin, My Soul

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

that should totally do it.

congrats poo!!!

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...

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.

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.

that's what happens when you list in USD

that pathetic joke backfired on me

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)"

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

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.

(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..)

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

will wait a week or so, then i think i will list mine..

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.

i mean, it's a lot of people for a record that 99.99% of the world has never heard of...

what record is it??

a funky one.

I joined eBay in 1999 specifically to buy some long-searched-for records.

Also used it to sell off some excess records I'd somehow acquired over the years. That's how I found out my Bobb Trimble album I'd never listened to was worth $200+. Should have held onto it - it trades for nearly $1,000 nowadays....

The Scruggs Brothers - Gary And Randy Scruggs 1972 beautiful copy starting at 4.99!! not my sale, just want someone to buy this!

oh cool, thats the one i dont have!

man you shoulda just KEPT that trimble, it rules!

psych nah idve sold it and bought a reissue probly

I would have, knowing what I know now. This was late '90s, not much online about him yet. Great stuff, and he has a new record out too. Wasn't mentioned in price guides of the day.

I like this eBay bucks thing but fuck making me wait til the next month to use them.

This KInd Of Punishment's Beard of Bees on Ajax is up on ebay!! Wish I could bid on it...

the seller also has a lot of other interesting records too.

Wow, I really can't find anything on that Graf Spee record he is also selling. Looks interesting though!

oh brother

when I click on that link all of the "recommended" albums beneath it are Peter Frampton LPs

I shoulda taken out a bank loan to buy stuff out of the Ajax catalog back in the day.

Seriously! I remember when I received their catalog that said the store was closing, then afterwards the catalogs stopped. I owe that guy so much though.

Don't know if anybody's interested but this is up for sale, really great record

what should we list my wife's original copy of GBV's 'propeller' for?
should we put a reserve? do it buy-it-now?

roll the dice. start it at ten bucks. live dangerously.

i never have understood setting a reserve on records, it usually discourages me from bidding. i prefer the seller to start the record at either the base amount they want for it or starting cheap and letting people decide what they want.

i kind of agree on no reserve.

skot: don't want to start it low because, tbh, it's only "worth selling" if it's gonna help us significantly pay off our vet bills/other debts. so i don't want to list it at $10 and have it only sell for $200, even though that's a lot of money, ya know

tbh, i think we might just put it up buy it now for $1000 and see what happens lol.

mike rep cover art.

there are gbv records that sell for money???

propeller was ltd to 500 copies with hand made covers... routinely sells in the 700-1000 range. sometimes more, sometimes less, but that's kinda the average i think.

i wish i still had my records from high school, white bee thousand, vampire on whatever, devil between my toes

there was this one gbv 45 i had with a great song called shooting star, i think, it was good

here's the exhaustive (and exhausting) gallery of Propellers: http://www.angelfire.com/pq/propellerclub/

which cover do you have, ian?

i've always made good money on gbv stuff. steady sellers. like pearl jam.

it's not mine, it's helen's, but it's a mike rep drawn cover. like the one on that website but without the red.
