the Soulstrut factor revisited...

[luck]

Well, SoulStrut comes up quite frequently in Google searches for basic record info. I'm sure that in some cases, novice diggers look up, perhaps, a record sample on Google and find their way here.

On another note: I'm not sure why anyone would be a lurker here, other than for sheer laziness (or laughs, for Bigger Dudes).

I believe that hanging out here & plugging my auctions I'm able to get better prices for the stuff I have that really isn't all that "hot"...

so by hanging out here 24/7 you've been able to boost the price of 'people... hold on' 10 bucks or so?

sweet dude.

actually I think the soulstrut popularity of certain titles is mostly a reflection of digger trends at large, there are so many record fiends out there who are just unaware of this site totally( or find it incomprehensible...).

I didn't start coming on to the message board till about two months ago since I had no knowledge of what actually happened on message boards. Needless to say I am a solid middle-weight contender with my collection. Yet I would notice every couple of months new bizzare trends that seemed to appear almost instantaneously in different places -- the first I noticed was the library records. About a year or two ago, I was noticing that i couldn't find any polish jazz anywhere. And when i did find it, $45. Basically, as a total oblivious outsider, there is an influence. At least I can only assume it was you crazy mothers that made those records I found in Tijuana worth something. Thank you.

I've noticed one thing... even people with no clout here, if they talk about a record it pops up online quick-fast. I've seen certain records that I would have been searching for (in the street and online) for a minute and I would have liked the jawn to stay quiet to cop a copy and bam!!!... someone mentions it here and all these copies surface. And of course they go for way more than I'd be willing to pay at any given time.

This is a powerful place.

Agreed. That's why it's smart to not mention certain pieces on here until you've tracked down your own stash. Even then, there are certain records that I will not discuss here just to limit their awareness to those in the know. Not out of any type of elitism or anything. When the record game reaches saturation levels, with everybody trynna track down the few known copies of (insert raer title here), it's a good idea to have that next level agenda. Gotta stay one step ahead of the game...

What record has ever been mentioned here that was not immediatly called crap by a dozen posters?

And why can't I sell any Sayer? Even serious producers and beatheads wont buy his best and rarest records from me.
