Re: [Phono-L] You gotta love this... Museum Quality Black Patti Record

2011-05-17 Thread William Taney
He may just be crazy not know what these things are worth.. Most of his sales 
were $25 dollar Champion/Gennett Country and Western records and if you are 
looking for a particular title or record 25 bucks is not that much to pop for. 
How he came up with 12,500 for that Victor Sousa record I just can't imagineā€¦

 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.

hi all
kurt has bought from him and had left some bad feedback or so it  shows.
i just got two rare records from him but not at the prices he had.
he does take offers and if they are fair you get the records.
i have not had any problems but i do agree that most are not museum quality 
 but some are rare and a good price if you know what the real value is.

2011-05-17 Thread Mike Stitt
Good morning again all,
Found the last name. It is The Record Ranger. Richard Tussey. It 's public.
I knew he was near St. Louis. This is odd as Richard knows what these are
worth. He has very poor eye sight so one not prone to fishing. I split a
label collection with him years ago. Other than a few very hard to get
labels he has, I have them too. I would sell them all for the price of just
one of those records.

2011-05-17 Thread Rick
He describes the record as   I CAN GURANTEE THERE MUSEUM QUALITY AS BEING THE 
RAREST AND NOT SOLD  ALL MESSED UP . There is no grading either. So to 
protect himself this record is museum quality only in the sense of being rare 
not necessarily museum quality as being a grade E+ record. What he means by 
not sold as all messed up could mean a lot of things.
