Unbelievable, I bought a BM 88 7" white label last year for around $30 - they're not that rare. One just sold on eBay for £337!

Some uninformed collector maybe thought they were getting an original FAC 73 white label?! :brow:

I don't get it.

There were three involved at the sharp end so it's hard to believe they all thought they were bidding on the mystical 1983 Fac73-7...

I've told the seller one week ago, that this was not a 1983 7" white label ( matrix info), he replied and said "Thanks", then he changed the auction desciption. First time I saw it, it states release year 1983, now 1988.

the mystical 1983 Fac73-7...

The mystical FAC73R-7 no less!

Madness, total madness... :crazy:

As you quite rightly say, it's not worth even a twentieth of that... Some people obviously have too much money on their hands! :shrug:

Has anyone spotted who the seller is?

Yep, it's Ang.

I'm fairly sure that there wasn't any UK pressing whatsoever of Blue Monday on 7" back in 1983, not even one single test pressing, so it's a search for something that never existed.

The subject of popular debate over the years in these pages! People want to believe it exists and yet no one - to anyone's knowledge - has ever produced a shred of evidence. It's a nice Factory fable.
