    Should one assume that that's the best place for it?

    And he's got a pair of Ditton 22s for £349!!!!!

    The problem with greedy pricing is that it reflects across the whole used equipment market and prompts others to believe their lumps of 'old tat' are worth 'mucho dosh' and eventually all the useful bits of older gear get their prices pushed up alongside the junk! It's pissing me off, even the boot sale vendors are getting greedy these days.

    He's relisted them at the same £150 bargain price

    However, I hope that whoever has bought them is lucky!

    i have to agree. buying vinyl on fleabay is lucky dip at the best of times, i wouldn't shell out a grand for something i hadn't seen, and even then visually grading vinyl provides no absolutes.

    Will probably be a good investment if you stuck it in the loft for 30 years.

    Yup, Paul. The only way I'd have made a serious offer was if I'd lived in London and had visited the seller before the auction had ended (as many good sellers are willing to entertain), and inspected each album and found them all to my satisfaction...

    *Then* I'd have done everything in my power to have won the auction!
