"Well, your overall margin must look a whole lot healthier after this particular sale..."
"Yeah for sure. I buy records i want and am happy to sell for a small (or hopefully decent) profit on my discogs all the time. Just not quite the same margins!
I'm happy with the result and hope the buyer is too"
"Just briefly...if a dealer bought it you have to expect that they will want to earn something on it. I would say a 30% mark-up is the minimum they'd want to make unless they already had a buyer lined-up. I think 30% is also reasonable given the…"
"This forum has been a big part of my enjoyment of the situation, so i thank you all for being part of it.
I know who bought the record so i think everyone will be seeing it for sale again in the future, but I'll be trying to avoid any future…"
"I think you'd have to say that £19k before buyer's premium was a solid result. There wasn't much to go on in coming up with the estimate range but the final price was at the top end of it.
I wonder whether it is a total…"
"You sold into the market and made a killing off it. You have nothing to be bothered by; at the end of the day, you're the biggest winner in this scenario."
"Yeah, I caught the battle at the end of the live auction; looked like quite the back-and-forth. Certainly the biggest "win" for a seller I've seen on this forum, though I've only been here a couple years as a member."

"Congratulations, Lewis! You must have been on an emotional rollercoaster today. Go celebrate with a bottle of something nice, you deserve it."
"I was thinking more bonhams sellers commission, either way its thousands more then the £3 you paid for it ,enjoy it and keep buying the boxes of lps maybe check them before you put them on discogs though ,that was a close call "
"19k, but i don't know how the CGT works so that will take of a big chunk, unless that's what you were referring to "
"Ah its done now in the end its a £14997 profit cant be sniffed at "
"The highest private offer i recieved was $30k but i didn't fancy posting to USA and dealing with currency etc.
Obviously id have loved for it to have sold for 50k or something but i cant really complain on a £3 purchase.
We did kinda…"
" A nice £6000+ for Bonhams and £700 for the taxman on the buyers premium but to be honest despite the discouragment for a private sale and the fact that i think Tracks or other dealers would have offered him £20,000 + cash…"
"It sold for $30,000 US before VAT, so about what the last on went for at RR. Congrats!
What's the VAT tax for the buyer?"
