not takin a punt on any late 90's tho..lots of it and it's all worth naffink.
i had a look at a guy's collection a few weeks back after a tip off from a mate. talked on the phone and he had "about a 1000, including 200 w/l italian records that i used to get from a shop in slough". talked about a price and agreed a time to call back.
called back at agreed time..."i've had a look on ebay and some of them are worth £20". told him that putting something on sale is one thing and getting a sale is another. against my better judgement went for a look anyway, cos it's only 10 mins up the road.
he had them in crates on the lounge floor. no more than 500 at best. had a flick through but it was all mid-late 90's guff. no italian w/l to be seen. at least a box full of 80's chart (ie. phil collins, kylie) 12"s as well. didn't ask about the 1000 or the w/l cos i didn't want an argument in strange surroundings. bloke had well and truly pissed me off.
told him i didn't want anything and he was shocked "what? nothing? there's some great stuff in there." i pulled out an xtravaganza (late 90's trance nonsense) sleeve and a mid 90's junior boy's own sleeve. "these are worthless mate, their time has been and gone. stick 'em all on ebay as a job lot. if you can get £20 for individual records i'd be very surprised."
...and just like that *pffft*...i was gone.
edit: spoke to my mate, who also buys records but more of a rock/jazz/classical dealer, and he said there was 1000 when he saw them. so something obviously happened to them and the punter thought he could shift the shite on to me. no siree bob, was that happening.
