Suppose you're bidding on ebay for a rare record, and Noel Gallagher starts bidding against you..

Noel doesn't seem like the type to sign off messages with "cheers".

I'm surprised by all the bidding; the photos look as if they were taken by a cell phone camera in 1995, and the seller hasn't provided much proof that the record is a genuine.

I wouldn't touch this with a barge poll, not that I'd want one anyway, but one went for 20 grand last year and if I was bidding I'd be a bit disconcerted by his attitude in the replies to the questions.

How is it known that that's Noel Gallagher? Or am I missing something?

So go on then Gunner2406, what's the deal with this? Are we talking ten quid or ten grand? Labels look like it's one of the poorer fakes in circulation, although they are becoming collectable in their own right. Does it pass any of the tests, and if you know anything about the record, you'll know what they are. Cheers, Mark E

And that guy from The Fall is bidding as well.

as far as i know it is real.if you bid its up to you.but please bid with confidense.thanks

NO FUTURE! ANARCHY IN THE UK

Yes, I'd like to bid 1,800 for that punk artifact, if it is indeed so!

The highest bidder is listed as "Bidder 9"

Click on the name, and you get a breakdown of what bidder 9 is bidding on right now:

Hmm, out of 30 bids, 3 for baby items, one for a fireplace, and all the others various Musical categories.

Hey, just call me A.J. Weberman!

Imagine Liam Gallagher bidding:

I FOOKING WANT THAT SINGLE - THIS IS GREAT MUSIC NOT SOME SHITE LIKE BLUR!

geir you could write an nme cover story.

I wouldn't like to be Liam Gallagher right now!

Why?

Or anytime, I'd imagine.

it's now at £3,000 and the winning bidder is a collector of World War 2 memorabilia. And rare punk records too. Hmm, who?

Mr K?

mmm.

This title sounds like an old Calum porn thread.

heh.. in a banana suit, etc ad..

looks like Noel's ahead again!

A new leader: This one is also in the market for motorcycle parts. And Fishing...

<i>it's now at £3,000 and the winning bidder is a collector of World War 2 memorabilia. And rare punk records too. Hmm, who?</i>

Peter Hook? Ron Asheton? Arturo Vega?

"withdrawn"

= noticed that he could make more money on the regular auction circuit & just f*cked off?

Um, no it's still going, now it's up to £4,100 and the fisherman is in the lead.

They don't mean the auction was withdrawn, I think they mean the single was withdrawn from the shops at the time.

Oh! Of course. Duh. Ignore what I said...

Seven mins to go: Current leader also needs parts for his Ford car.

oh, £4,200 at the mo.

No doubt, those 'last minute' bidder snipers will send this higher.

4k for a 20k record is good business.

Numbers be jumpin (last minute)

£5,095 it went for.

So, whichever way you look at it, it wasn't Noel.

You know, if I'd had a spare £90 back in 1981, I'd have had one of these.

Seller's an idiot, because of his attitude in answering questions and because he couldn't be arsed to borrow a decent camera and put up some good pics he's lost out on 10-15 grand. Assuming that it's genuine.

The shop "Beanos" sold one recently which went for £7,000

So, he lost out on around £2,000 maybe.

And if he'd actually put more detail in his ad, could have pushed it higher.

One of the bidders asked how he came by such an item. Naturally, the story isn't going to be of the 'oh, I got it at lewisham Oxfam' or some such. But a bit of history/context would have worked wonders.

Now, here we are a few months later. Hmm, how did this go in the end?

Interested?

Actually, the virulence of some of those feedbacks is quite scary. People who would threaten violence over a 5p Monkees single.

Having said that, some of them seem too recent to be for real...

.. looks like one very angry bidder decided to win loads of auctions and post lots of negative feedbacks.

JAM-TOWN CALLLED MALICE-WHITE LABEL-POLYDOR 1982 EX (#130166922798)

lol who would drop $10000 on a record from some cell-phone picture?

and a sex pistols record at that?

Some psycho bidders, for sure!

i want my jam lp... so i'm going to drown you!

that's why i moved to being insane about dance records, because at least then it's all PLUR, brah.

it boggles my mind that eBay has not suspended this acount. a lot of the positive feedback is very suspicious as well - tons of ones from the same person, all items for a penny.
