You must have quite a collection by now. In the main, what sort of condition are most albums in when you buy them? Do you make allowances based on price?

That high bidder must have bottled it, withdrew just before the end. Went for a piddling £4100 instead. Bargain.

I'm not sure how many records I have, but I'm struggling to fit them in the racks now.
Condition varies so much, and if a record looks like it's quite badly scratched, I won't touch it whatever the price. The condition of the records is my priority, sleeves are secondary for me. For example, I got an early pressing of Miles Davis Bitches Brew for 50p recently. The sleeve is pretty much knackered, and the records looked grubby when I bought it, but I couldn't really see any significant marks or scratches, so for 50p, it has to be worth a go to see if it cleans up well. It did. A perfectly playable copy, it won't ever be saleable because of the sleeve, but I don't have any intention of selling it. The Roy Ayers LP I bought today is looking pretty scratched up, but the guy was selling 3 for a pound, and I needed one more record, so for 33p, it has to be worth the risk. I had a wonderful Japanese pressing of that album, but sold it when I was a bit short of cash, so I'd been looking for an affordable copy ever since.

The seller must have been gutted.
An album by Haymarket Square called Magic Lantern went for over two grand, and I have no idea who they are. I'll be keeping an eye out for it from now on though.

I'll be visiting Teignmouth next month where there's a pretty good 2nd hand record shop, so I'm bound to pick up a few, but I need to check out some boot sales, which will please the wife.

A funny thing, I never 'got' AC/DC. All that changed when I saw 'School Of Rock', now I love 'em*dance4*

I have 6 of their albums: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Let There Be Rock, Powerage, If You Want Blood You've Got It, Highway To Hell and Back In Black. Did have The Razors Edge, but sold it.
My brother was a bit of a metalhead, and I was a punk, so I never acknowledged any of his music, but secretly, when he and my mum and dad were out, I'd stick a bit of AC/DC on, then put them back exactly where I'd found them before they got home. *smile*

I've got "The Razors Edge" "For Those About To Rock" and "Back in Black", and now the other 5, because "Back In Black" is repeated...

I wouldn't have been. I don't care for Marillion, and I can't quite explain how much I hate Queen.
But if I were a fan, I'd be over the moon with that little lot. Well done.

Having heard "Oh So Quiet" on the Chris Evans show, I have bought Post - her second album I believe.
Also got a bid on Nirvana, Unplugged in New York.
Been outbid on a Fleetwood Mac White Vinyl copy of Fleetwood Mac (£11.08 when I stopped bidding ) and also Joy Divisions Unknown Pleasures (currently at £18.00 but I may increase my bid...)

Thank you. And I will accept the award on the condition that it's not a statuette of Freddie Mercury. *smile*
Good God, no; the award will be in the form of a statuette of another Freddy we all know and love.
