Bellend Sebastian Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 Just had a look at the going rates for some of the crap I've brought over the years. Even my original release mint condition 12" of Radiohead's Creep (brought during an instore performance of the band in Ainleys) is worth next to bugger all. All those Oasis CD singles that have been taking up space all these years that could have been used by something useful, like air, are actually worth less now than what I paid for them in 1994 or whatever it was

Ridiculously, I am loathe to get rid of anything. I've let a few things go over the years, but not many, and I sort of got to the point where I was happy with what I had. You look at it again years later and find that you're pretty much a Kingmaker completist and have everything Oasis released for 3 years and realise that you do move on as a person
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 When you said old thought you might mean 60's or 70's or maybe even some 50's when the 7" first started to be pressed. I have a load too some singles some LP's they are from late 60's to 80's. Not great condition as I used to play them. Just check record sites out. You can still buy them on Leicester market see what they sell them for and go from there. They are normally worth what people are willing to pay. Watch out for record Fairs in Leicester All the Geeks go and have money to throw away. The dealers do well. Still got a couple of hundred 60s singles and LPs. Love playing them Saturday nights.
Rincewind Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 There are still some of us oldies hanging on. Although I don't play mine now. At some point I'm going to be asked to choose some for 'Frog Island Discs our radion version od the radio Four one. It is hard picking out just eight.
JadeFalcon Posted 22 June 2013 Posted 22 June 2013 most stuff is actually worthless, its the niche stuff that actually makes money, such as coloured vinyl, quirky cases, signed copies. also dont ever use services like music magpie, they will want to take your pants down. such as offer me £2.18 for my Jurassic Park Lost World sound track which is quite rare as it is the 3D diorama version. which i have seen going on ebay for nigh on £30

whoareyaaa Posted 22 June 2013 Posted 22 June 2013 my uncle had a Elvis Presley record and it sold for a couple of thousand, some people will pay decent money if they are rare.
Rincewind Posted 22 June 2013 Posted 22 June 2013 One of my uncle Mick must be the biggest Elvis fan in Leicester. He probably has every record and film of his. He would also have a good collection of rock 'n' roll stuff. When Elvis died he did not know until a neighbour knocked on his door and said 'Hi Mick by the way Elvis is dead.' He was not happy in the way he was informed. When we visited him it could not be on a night when he was watching an Elvis film or playing records. His collection of stuff must be worth a bit but he would never sell it and I don't think he'll leave me it in his will unfortunately.

Is that him Ken?
Rincewind Posted 22 June 2013 Posted 22 June 2013 Not sure. His surname is Haywood. I know there is someone high up but can't remember his name. Used to work with another big fan. Strange really because he was not from that era. About15 years younger than me so his shouldd have been into 70/80's stuff. The UK President is Todd Slaughter. Mick still lives in the same house (40 years) Newfoundpool. Named it The House of Elvis. Never realised he's a year older than me. Or he's lying about his age. http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/leicester/hi/people_and_places/newsid_8625000/8625283.stm
