Representing the steel city of Sheffield we have the Deaf Aids first release which never fails to fire up strong passions among ebay's punk collectors. Though I have a roomful of piggy banks (one is actually a pig, three are hippos and one is a yellow Malta bus) they had been eviscerated to pay for my annual spending spree at the Olympia record fair. So I merely sat and gawped as this perky little item zoomed past the £200 mark. Isn't someone going to comp this?

EYE ON EBAY
A hefty windfall in Cyprus as a seller there nets a £178.05p for the Deaf Aids Do It Again EP. I submitted a negligent amount and was roundly set upon by fellow bidders. Originally known as Charles Hawtrey And The Deaf Aids they formed in Sheffield in 1978. Only 250 pressed so if they sold the lot today they would secure a place in the top twenty. The seller let bidders hear a snatch of the single. What I heard enabled me to suppress my renegade nature; it was a reasonable effort but until I've vast amounts of disposable income I'll not suffer sleepless nights on letting it go to some unknown bidder. What I want to know is how the seller spent that 5p.
