Vinyl records lot at local sale included a personal 'grail' album - very pleased to find this!

Cracking find, Richard. And what value. Amazing!

[@Vinyl-Heaven-And-Hell2023]

Thanks, Andy. Yes, good stock for buttons, have to be happy with that! There are some decent records in the other lots I bought too. I will price at the low end so hopefully there will be some happy buyers.

Cool finds - I wish my Village did this !

This event is like a carboot sale except that people just leave their stuff for the auction to sell. It was the first time I had found good records at this regular event - and picked up at bargain prices! Gav, I see you have posted some videos - welcome to the VC. I have watched your 'My 1st album' vid - really good. Subbed.

I have that Skids album back home in Ireland. A great album.

[@Vinyl-Heaven-And-Hell2023]

It is indeed a great album. Thanks for watching.

Those are some great finds!

[@Vinyl-Heaven-And-Hell2023]

Yes, very pleased to find these. Thanks for watching.

Looks like a great place to go digging Richard. I'm a big fan of the concept of personal grails - I've picked up a few myself recently. I don't think I've ever clapped eyes on an Elf record.

[@Vinyl-Heaven-And-Hell2023]

I had looked at records put in previous auctions held at the hall - not found anything worth buying. To find three boxes of good stuff this time was a big surprise. One box I did not show included Soul II Soul albums and a large number of Culture Club/Boy George albums, singles and picture discs. The other box had about 20 albums including Queen, Rainbow, Eagles and ELO. The Elf album is the big winner though, not seen this at any fairs. Thanks for watching, James.

Well done Richard, really nice box of records. I love that Skynyrd album and that Man looks excellent. The stand out for me, that I haven’t got is The Skids album. I can understand you being really happy about finding the Elf. Really enjoyed your video. Mike

[@Vinyl-Heaven-And-Hell2023]

Thanks, Mike. Yep, some good stock there and decent stuff in the other lots too, all bought for buttons. I will price at the low end so hopefully buyers will be happy too!

[@martinsvinyl1985]

Wow!!! What a find! Nice one RIchard 👍

[@Vinyl-Heaven-And-Hell2023]

Thanks, Martin. I am really happy to find Elf - will be giving it a play tomorrow. I will give the Man album a listen too - I don't know it but that sleeve is quite something.

[@BilKojak]

Nice ZZ Top! Hello from USA

[@Vinyl-Heaven-And-Hell2023]

Yes, it's good to find 'Fandango', don't see this too often in the UK. Thanks for watching.

[@SteviesVinylCupboard]

A very nice way of selling stuff locally and for a good rummage, well done. I seem to remember buying Best Of Rainbow for a fiver with a view to giving it a whirl then maybe barter material for the record fair. I think I saw it for sale at the record fair priced at £15, is that about right? I too have never seen that Skids best of but I don't think I've ever seen and Elf ever!! Maybe I wasn't looking too hard ; ). 👍

[@Vinyl-Heaven-And-Hell2023]

This is an alternative to car boot sales - people turn up on the day and leave their items for the auctioneer to sell rather than those people standing in a muddy field at 6 a.m. to deal with it! There were very few buyers at this auction and those that did buy were clearly dealers/resellers who were picking up all sorts of goods for next to nothing. The Best of Rainbow double album is a £tenner in this World. Discogs median for that Elf album is £38 so if you do see it in good condition for much less snap it up quick!

[@TheVinylOrchard]

Would have snapped that Elf LP up!

[@Vinyl-Heaven-And-Hell2023]

Yep, it's the big winner. I was happy that no one else in the room knew anything about records - the bidding on that lot started at £5 and the person who bid against me dropped out at £8!

[@TheVinylOrchard]

@@Vinyl-Heaven-And-Hell2023 perfect

[@Harrispilton22]

Awesome..absolutely nothing for me.....but I know they’re all pretty sellable, I’ve even seen ‘Hot Space’ go for £10.00-£15.00 nowadays which 5 years ago would have been unthinkable!

[@Vinyl-Heaven-And-Hell2023]

Thanks, Harris. Yep, some good stock for buttons that I will price low so hopefully buyers will be happy too! Another of the lots I bought there includes 12" - in particular a Culture Club/Boy George collection.

[@jedi-mic]

You need to get rid of the Inner paper sleeve get a polypropylene sleeve they do fit inside the sleeves as well

[@Thevinylscavenger]

Bargain! All records should be one pound anyway. Just to avoid any confusion. I have times when I refuse to pay more than £1 you know for instance charity shops have gone a bit mad. Similarly it's funny when they overprice the known artists and want nothing for the others which are actually worth more.

[@Vinyl-Heaven-And-Hell2023]

Bargain indeed, Martin. Some decent stuff in the other lots I bought too that I can price at the low end for fairs so buyers should be happy. The lot I showed started at £5 and bids went up by £1 until the bidder against me stopped at £8. If anyone in the room knew about records they would have realised that they were worth very much more. Discogs median for the Elf album is £38.
