Does anyone fancy flogging their copy of the Wim Mertens linen box cassette edition (Fact 190c)?

If not then I might be tempted to sell the rest as I can't see I'm ever going to complete the collection!

Just keep trying Ebay. You will get one someday

This is the item LINK

It's probably worth asking on that site ,as it's more Factory Records based.

I think that the Wim Mertens cassette is the rarest of the lot - it doesn't often appear for sale...?

Good luck...

They typically sell for over $300. Looks like there's yet another copy going under the hammer here.

The ebay seller above is The Record Peddler (used to be a shop in Manchester - I bought quite a bit of rare Factory stuff from there)!

lovely Scottish crumpet

Essentially they aren’t just cassettes they are rare bits of Saville/Factory art. The high price doesn't surprise me.

I wonder how many were made?

Sold for £360.55

It's interesting that these Wim Mertens cassettes are selling for so high, considering the condition of the two copies that were sold was not all that great. About 6 or 7 years ago, I purchased it for just under half of what these sold for. And the copy I purchased was in near mint condition.

Anyways, to add to the recent Factory boxed cassette auction activity, someone is now auctioning off a complete set of the boxed cassettes on eBay.

The full set of boxes didn’t sell at a Buy It Now of £699 and the seller now has his copy of Educes Me up for a Buy It Now of £400!

Doesn’t surprise me that the full set didn’t sell at that price. Most collectors still in the market will have incomplete sets and no interest in paying for the lot.
