I have no experience of selling on E-Bay but I think between E-Bay commission and Pay-Pals cut, there is probably little left for the seller, I could be wrong, perhaps someone with selling experience could comment !
A bit like record shops who say, we could only pay a little for records because no-one is buying at the moment, then they go on to show you the pile they keep under the counter " That has just come in " and proceed to ask you for £30 for a single.
Every time I read that the oldest person in the world has died, I have to do a quick check to see it isn't ME..........

i wasnt gonna do ebay, dont want to tread on trevs toes, thats where he sells, i did think of maybe my amazon account, signing up as a seller? or on punk torrents classified section.
or like i said, mi mates pub
also if it worked, i know ska is VERY popular round here so i could buy extra do the dog cds next time theres a sale (10 cds for £10, get 2 or 3 of each) and again sell those on / in the pub maybe

Yes I have bought a lot from him over the years, I suppose the bulk offers were on Facebook as I haven't seen them on his E-Bay or shop. I wish I knew the answer, my pension could look healthier if I had a good way of selling my surplus, either way when people tell you that what you have is worthless, then they mark it up at £30 or more pounds, I bet it hurts.
I have a whole room of shop ready Vinyl & Spectrum stuff, enough to open a shop, problem is the ground rent, overheads and hours to work to sell them, it would not be worth it. I know what stuff sells for and the rarity of some of the stuff, I would feel obliged to punch someone in the face if they told me " I'll give you £50 for the lot ".
I have heard people say on WOS, it is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it, that is true, but if you are selling to someone who will sell it on, the best you will get is 50% of what something is worth, but more likely it will only be a fraction. Selling to collectors is the way to go, they will sometimes pay over the odds as well.

That's why I would rather give stuff away than sell it, like fellow collectors offering £5 for a copy of Deus ex Mechina, which must be mint condition and include postage, yes it has happened, or the person who snags a box of software for his collection, then puts it straight on to E-Bay on the same day he received it, I even covered the postage.
Although it has happened the other way round, I have turned down an offer of £200 on a Test Rom Cartridge, which I just didn't want to sell.

I always get excited when a parcel arrives, even when you know what is in it, it is still exciting !
funny thing is, it was UPS, when i opened the door it was the delivery driver that used to deliver where i used to work and we took the **** out of each other, he got a massive shock lol, rolled his eyes and said next time he'll chuck em over the fence :P

The latest in-house tests are expected to be completed today, with some delay on schedule.
In order not to take any risk before a weekend, the Live will probably be reinstated this Monday, April 3rd.
so no show this sunday :(

They are usually ace in sending their orders out and the packaging as well, I don't think I have ever had an order from them where they havn't included a little extra, I much like boss tunage.

Some News from RN:
We are reopening the live right now (it could take up to one hour to be available on all the servers). We’ll follow if everything is running as expected and if yes it will remain open. If something goes wrong we’ll switch it off again.

Any news on your show yet ?
But hopefully by the time it is resolved, you may have lost the rogue element of the audience !
although the HDQ 7" was missing and there was a "free" colt seavers 7" instead Oo
I have also had nothing but the best service from Topplers as well, also from PUMF records !
I have never tried these though, The Toy Dolls Heaven I should imagine !
