Best Place To Sell Dance / D&B?

nah, i remember the ebay controversy over it
actually, ive just checked google bout this and the only records of the same i can find say it eventually went for $1,000 which a) would seem more like it and b) would validate my suspicion that those other bigs were just erroneously bumping up the price.

also, the seller had TWO copies, which further affirms this hypothesis. :hmm:

still, all well and good to him, he's made a pretty non descript piece of electro lite into the most valuable detroit techno record!
 
be warned, the only stuff i'm going to flog is the stuff that i think is worth at least a tenner i'm afraid..
 
nah, fanny batter. there is absolutely no way that could possibly have been anything more than two people bidding against each other for a laugh.

a record has to have a precedent to attain a price like that, all well documented within the northern soul scene.

plus, it can't even be that rare if it's the one i'm thinking of - and if so is also pretty piss.

the house/techno records that go for most money are Disco D (1st larry heard record) , the joe lewis records on target and the marcus mixx records on missing dog. nothing else even passes the £500 mark as far as i know. and i'm pretty sure i'd have heard if so.

placid sold his copy for about £500, but some dumbass paid a few grand just a few months before.

a few years before that though, a copy went for £5K or maybe $5K

eta: i'm glad the 313 list archives everything:

£5400!
but it was a bogus bid apparently
this guy gets offered over a grand for his copy:

actually, within the past 60 days i have made enough to pay for TWO plane tickets to Tokyo. Not that I expect I will be going anywhere for a while :(

you can bang 100-150 records up over a week easy (just make sure ALL your auctions are scheduled to end mon-thurs and within the hours of 8-10.30pm)

stick everything up for £9.99 first off then if they don't sell it wont cost you anything to relist them at £4.99 anyway.

:)

you must be selling hot / rare records to seriously be getting enough £10 's to buy airtickets - pristine hardcoreor D n B / NMint disco / Nmint kraut etc , maybe, but yer average dance 12" AINT going for £10's on UK Ebay, fact ( the odd Photek possibly ) .
 
When my shelves get too full I have a clear out and frankly the stuff i pull isn't really worth the hassle of selling especially now the price of vinyl is falling. Avoiding all the internet malarky and trials with postage I end up with a bag that goes to Barnados and they take the lot, simples ;)

(I decided this after looking up what i thought was a really rare hardcore record , it ended up being worth £25 ?)

are you on ebay? if so i'd be more than happy to PM you my seller ID so you can see how much the 90 records i have sold in the last 60 days have gone for.

99.9% chicago / detroit stuff, but nothing i'd even regard as particularly valuable or collectable. The odd record has gone for £30-£40 but the vast majority have indeed sold for around the £10 mark

yes. exactly as i thought.

actually, methinks one may shortly see a few copies start popping up on ebay etc sometimes soon. as you can get 500 12"s pressed up at GZ for just under £400 it's just a matter of time before it gets bootlegged (like the mayday - sinisters/z factor - fast cars/armando - confusion etc boots that were going about a few years ago)

only bus-shelter masturbating freaks would pay that sort of money for a record. if i had the disposables i'd just press up a load of booties, weasel a few onto the market so i was quids in then once i got sussed just flog the rest from tokyo at £30 a pop.
 
anyway, as i've said, i have about 2,000 12"s (predominantly american electronic dance music of varying genres) - i'm trying to get rid of at present so if anyone has any 'wants' lists please PM them to me and ill let you know if ive got anything you are after :)
 
think long and hard about this - i flogged a load of rockabilly/psychobilly vinyl when i was skint as i thought i needed the cash. i survived but fuck me do i miss what i sold now. and despite what chico says, it ain't easy getting it back ime.

yes, i don't doubt that for a second. that, like other genres is a real 'colectors market'.
my comments should ONLY be taken in relation to house/techno records, many of which by the very nature of DJing were of limited shelf life, plus with the advances in DJ technology in recent times many DJs are eschewing vinyl for digital systems and are subsequently selling their records.

yes, fair enough :)
 
how much for though..? and tbh i'm not that bothered about different versions, the original is as perfect a song as i've ever heard...
 
:confused:

that was clearly someone having a laugh. they probably bid ten gran for the guy's mobile phone. No house or techno record has even approached four figures yet. I'm sure i've got that record if it's the rather cheesy rap over a singularly generic electro track i'm thinking of....photo of a guy in a car park on the label? I used to be on the 'submerge' DJ mailing list so got sent tons of stuff from them. much of it pants.

Looks like the last two of those Clarence G's on ebay went for under a $grand. I don't even know if I've heard it:

Never buy the first time something anything rare appears on ebay and instead wait for others to flood it with copies afterwards! Case in point:
