Subject: Re: [Phono-L] You gotta love this... "Museum Quality Black Patti
Record"
This guy is not only a joke, but something very strange is going on with
his eBay account. I checked his feedback - back to January of this year
and found a very peculiar situation. One "buyer" named "lgirmscher" has
supposedly bought and left positive feedback for 79 records since January
13 and paid anywhere from $24.99 - $83.52 each. The peculiar part of this
is that lgirmscher had a rating of (209) purchases on Jan. 13 and on May
13 after buying at least 79 items, his rating is still (209)... what's up
with that? There are other multiple purchasers, but this one stands out as
odd. I can't imagine buying any records at his prices, but someone bought
one for $750 - left negative feedback, claiming the record was a repro and
eBay backed this seller.
The feedback number isn't strange if he did indeed buy only from this
gentleman. You can but 5000 items, if they're all from the same
buyer/seller it counts your feedback score as "one".
However, not buying or selling anything to or from anyone else in that time
period IS very very suspicious.
I would also think that if someone is going to try and move an item for four
or five figures they could have some better pictures, at least a description
of the particular item, and some sort of grading.
I mean even "I" could scan some photos of labels out of a book and go on
eBay claiming to sell rare records.
