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.nah, i remember the ebay controversy over it

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.

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

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 ) .
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:

the only stuff i want, you ain't going to sell.![]()

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.

knuckles/principle - cold world

yes, fair enoughyes, 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.

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.
