Just saw this end on eBay. It's an original Seven B presing and in mint condition, but I've always seen this go in the $50-$60 range on eBay. Now it's over $200???? What gives?http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4735609050&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

    I've been seeing the Capitol issue go in that range (50-60) for a couple years, maybe even a little higher. So the local issue going for more makes sense. $212 is definitely a decent chunk of change, but I don't think I've seen many NM copies being auctioned recently

    And if I can sell a new Sharon Jones 45 on ebay for $55, then $200+ for Eddie Bo doesn't seem as absurd. But then again, it's all absurd, innit?

    the real question is who is this nemo23 character.

    The highest I've seen a Seven B version go on eBay was for $80. The last one I saw was in March, 05 and it only went for $52.

    you ever get the idea that some of these crazy bids on ebay may be just a dude getting his friend to pump up the price ? draws attention to the seller, to them item he is selling, so if he has more copies he might be able to get that much again, who knows ? or at least drives the price up...

    speaking of ebay craziness, i was looking through popsike and found this one:

    http://www.popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?itemnr=4026314242

    isn't this like a 10 dollar record? i have passed it up so many times it's unbelievable that this would be going for 200.

    I knew the 45 in question just from the title.

    200 for a Spirit lp, what a joke! Maybe cuz its sealed? Must've been an AP auction or somethin.

    Don't you know? It's a "groovy band"


    Maybe this is another " I just heard about a DJ Shadow sample" purchase.

    Popsike flat-out LIES sometimes. I'm convinced of it.

    Damn. Had I been a bit more clever at the time when BF came out, I could've easily bought multiple copies. I got mine on eBay for $15, which was pricey even for back then.

    Maybe with all that talk about a Seven-B box set, someone said "OH, SO IT IS OF INTEREST, EH? FUCKA, JUMP THAT SHIT UP TO TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!"

    "Rare 45s 10 degrees to starboard..."



    A VGplus copy of the Seven B issue sold for 120 something about 2 weeks ago & I think it was even listed as 'northern soul' instead of 'funk'...

    I'm gonna blow up Delay's spot on this one, he bid on his own auction under another name, super obvious though it was like Dr. Delay or something like that. Sorry man

    I think the 'Just Dropped In...' 45 has been catching big bucks.
