They are the electronic equivalent of the Buy Here-Pay Here used car dealer. Just ignore them. There are way too many buyers out there who will buy the junk and they know it.

Almost like the Payday Loan Places.

Ron,

I don't want to dwell on the subject but none of his records have yet to go off. The first one ends tomorrow. Maybe he had the "Greetings" record that he sold privately but I doubt it. I collect other things and guys like this are all over ebay and Craigs list. I've given up trying to set them straight. It's not my job and all you get out of it is aggravation.

It is possible he got good money for some of his DDs.  He's got Christmas
records there, I think I saw and these go a bit high.  Maybe one was LUNF
which usually goes for more than $100.   We don't know if they were 52000
series, right?

I wrote him when he first posted.  I told him in a nice way that he was
spending more on Ebay fees than what the records are worth. He told me that

he had sold six also.  I think the tooth fairy bought them.  What really
bothers me about nuts like this is that their insanity has a tendency to
spread. I haven't bought a cylinder or disc record off ebay in I don't know

how long. If people like this ask crazy prices over and over again it soon
becomes the norm.

I wrote the individual asking how he came up with the price and he responded

with

"We had the records appraised by an antique dealer. They're appraised at
$250-375 depending the song."

Then when I replied to his email he threatened to report me to ebay.
He also informed me that he had sold 6 of the records at this price.

Wow, friends! Take a look at this beauty. It's bargain priced. It states
in the description, "A part is broken and missing, but does not affect the playability or beauty." At this price, one can stand a part or two missing
I'm sure!

Ebay item number 180396054703

PS - I've got a William and Mary that I'd sell cheap, and with lots of
Diamond Discs!

Brantley
