| | I thought I had seen "When or Were" on Popsike once on Reo, but then I was locked out of the site, so couldn't check again. I must have confused it with the single 78rpm copy on London listed there. I've corrected my post below. |

| | I only added the buy it now price because it did sell for that much.
Also was where or when really released on a 78? If it’s serial number was #8445 than it would be after Marina by rocco Granata which is the confirmed last Reo 78 |

| | Yes, someone clearly had deep pockets and was willing to pay more than most, but he did pay this, so the record "has actually sold" for £98. As fantastic as the price may sound, it's not a complete fantasy price.
Note also that this exorbitant price was paid for an EX- copy whereas the two others were only VG+ ($39) and one even only G+ ($20). |

| | Well, the "buy it now" price that we have here, seems to be a bit of a stretch compared to what it has actually sold for. |

| | You definitely were lucky to find it, not to mention for that price. Could you please upload an image of the B side as well?
Dion And The Belmonts released 4 of the 5 records we have listed on U.K. London also on the Canadian Reo label, including 2 we don't have listed yet.:
#8244 Teen Angel / I Wonder Why (1958)
#8278 I Can't Go On (Rosalie) / No One Knows (1958)
Based on what I can see, your eBay values are all sold prices that people actually paid in 2018 and 2021. I don't see any of these Reo 78s currently on sale on Canadian, US, or British eBay.
in my understanding, as long as someone was willing to actually pay a certain price on eBay, it's fair game to list that price, regardless whether the record was listed for auction or with a "Buy It Now" price. Only if some seller simply demands a price that no one might ever pay do we exclude it. |

| | Since when do we use an eBay "buy it now" listing as a value? |

| | I got really lucky getting this record for $5 today. Idk how many Dion 78s were released in Canada but they’re very rare |
