 | Billy Two Matthew 7:7 Member since Nov 2008 3210 Points Moderator | I'm with the guy all the way - as he says, it's actually a historical artefact rather than just "a record". You can't value that sort of stuff, it's so rare and unlikely to come up again... Wonder if he's told the missus yet ?? |

| An6y66 Member since Jul 2012 1817 Points | That makes it even more of a ridiculous price to pay. Being as he just wanted it as it had less scratches than his previous copy ! |

 | Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | This guy tends to be one of the 'know it alls' in record world. His price determinations seem to be more based on his ego than anything else. A few years ago he found a 78 on Sun (from Memphis) by a widely unknown rockabilly singer. The record was in garbage shape. He declared it to be super rare and a lost treasure and worth tens of thousands of dollars. The valuation that he gave to it was really only his guess. |

I haven't heard anything about this. Any specifics? He was in the news in a similar way in 2009, when a Sun blues 45 (not a rockabilly 78) was bought by him on eBay for $10,323. But I don't recall him giving any valuation for it other than the price he actually paid himself. |

| Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | I stand corrected as far as the genre -- but the point is that in the grand scheme of things this record is only worth $10K because he paid that much for it. To me it isn't worth it and seems like hype |
