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.

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....

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.
― sleeve, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 05:09 (twelve years ago) link
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.

what should we list my wife's original copy of GBV's 'propeller' for?should we put a reserve? do it buy-it-now?
― one dis leads to another (ian), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 23:17 (twelve years ago) link
roll the dice. start it at ten bucks. live dangerously.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 00:14 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― JacobSanders, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 00:22 (twelve years ago) link
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
― one dis leads to another (ian), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 00:30 (twelve years ago) link
tbh, i think we might just put it up buy it now for $1000 and see what happens lol.

there are gbv records that sell for money???
― JacobSanders, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 00:44 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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.
― one dis leads to another (ian), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 03:22 (twelve years ago) link
man. I don't have anything with a Mike Rep drawn cover, but I *do* have an original of GBV's 'Sandbox'. On whatever label they released it on. I bought it direct from Scat ... after the either the 'Grand Hour' EP or the 'Vampire' LP came out, Scat started selling a bunch of GBV backstock early LPs through their mail order distro catalog. I loved the 'Grand Hour' thing so much that I punted on a copy of 'Sandbox.' Didn't buy the others because I was a broke youngin'. Later I got the 6lp box set, so ever since I've had two Sandboxes.
