northern soul on ebay

if you need some inspiration,type in northern soul in search on ebay, then sort from high price to low. Wow! Look at some of those prices- then, quick, go check your 45 backstock to see if you have any. Goldsoul over in the UK publishes a guidebook which is more useful as a discography, as northern soul is kind of quirky as to what is considered northern soul and what's not. Good luck searching!

Kiss lps posted on Amazon

Blue Note deep groove pressing of Kenny Dorham

Rare Blue Note deep groove preesing of Kenny Dorham's Quiet Kenny is up for grabs on eBay right now - bidding is fast and furious with 12 bids topping out at $1091, with time still left. That's right, over a grand. Always be checking those old Blue Notes for the deep groove - most of 'em are worth bucks. Pick up a Goldmine jazz price guide - it's invaluable for picking out the different label variations. eBays rendered most of the prices passe, but it's still useful for determining a $20 lp from a $200 one.

Amazon listing for Kiss , Sabbath vinyl

Looks like noone's posted vinyl up yet for Kiss or Sabbath. Just scored some yesterday at a yard sale, so I'll be creating pages for them tomorrow. If you have any ,feel free to post 'em up on my Amazon pages! Just don't undersell me too badly :-)

new source for vinyl!

I found a new source for untapped vinyl. I made contacts at the various recycling stations around and offered to pick up their records and books for free. Lotsa crap that ends up being recycled, but a bunch of stuff comes in that I can use in lots on eBay and some nice individual lps & 45s I can list on GEMM or Amazon. Some of the vinyl, if you're lucky enough to still have a vinyl store around, can be traded in there for credit to buy better individual pieces to sell on ebay or Gemm. Good luck hunting!

using SKU's to manage your inventory

The easiest way to manage your inventory once you get beyond a few hundred items is SKU - stockkeeping units. Start at 1001 for the first, 1002 for the 2nd,etc. Both Amazon & Gemm support SKU's in their inventory uploads from Excel spreadsheets. Use removable stickers to put each number on the stock unit. Then keep the stock in boxes labeled on the outside with the SKU's it contains, ie, 1001-1100. Over time, you can combine boxes as you sell off stock.

This system prevents you from selling the NM copy of the lp for the VG copy, since they have different numbers and are separated by other inventory. Also makes picking a breeze and filing inventory a snap - just start numbering where you left off and put the inventory at the end of the last box!
