And there’s always the possibility of a last minute bidding war £££
Sometimes I see lots on ebay that are like 20 techno records and kind of leave it at that. Luck of the draw for whomever buys the whole lot. Maybe throw a description with the year and maybe labels in it as a teaser.
Highlights from a few days spent digging in London. Ended up going to Flashback, Idle Moments (twice) and Music & Video Exchange (where I was privy to a conversation about how “Instagram-first” buyers come get records there and sell them for higher prices at their own East-London based shops).
It’s been 10 years since I moved out from London and being there now wasn’t nostalgic at all but the opposite. It was exciting in a totally new and fresh way. Booking flights for the new year at the moment.

Floorplay 12" is a nice score. Done by Solid Groove and friends, I think. The St Germain one is excellent. I wonder whatever happened to him.

First dig in a few weeks and found 3 Oum Khalthoum LPs for four quid each. Probably going on ebay shortly.

I was once going through a crate of records at MK bowl bootsale priced at 50p. Did see an original copy E2 E4 along with loads of other stuff, which only some I knew, I left it behind as I the prefered Sueno Latino version…
Todays hauls £10 the lot. Still find Little Britain irksome, no idea why I picked this up.

Just edited as my associate has caught me in deep dig, that’s possibly less picked under there and where the three were found.

I found my copy the other day and played it and the pops are there but somehow I managed to make it not jump. Although reading this months later it does bring some consolation that it wasn’t me who messed it up.

On The Upside. That’s an all-time fave right there.

Herbie cut if you can get on Emergency, likely to bring it up a notch at least sonically.
God bless Herb.

Not a record. The charity shop opposite me is closing down and they are leaving the stock in the street. Had a look through a big box of VHS tapes. Early Star Wars rental copy. Took it home & looked it up on ebay.

Ooooof
Of course, you have to find someone who’s willing to pay it. Still, 100% profit whatever.
