Bitchdj Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Hi, has anyone seen the buy it now bargains offered up by SIRSHAKIE (0) currently on e-bay on a ONE DAY LISTING ?? they seem to good to be true to me.... he's based in ROCHESTER,N.Y....... it looks unbelievably like the copy sold on e-bay on 18/12/2008 for a mere $5.000 but in a jamie guyden sleeve.... can this have been superimposed or am i just being over cautious.... feel free to grab yourself a bargain... it looks well dodgy to me..... he also had a BARI TRACK on a buy it now ..that picture looks very similar to the one currently on JM's auction...
Bitchdj Posted April 10, 2010 Author Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) i've inadvertently messed up any potential bargains to uk customers..... i made enquiries relating to the higher priced items, which were originally available to worldwide customers (at that time)..... and ALL items up to the present are now for u.s. customers only ..... the plot thickens ???

De-to Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 If you try a seller search now ther is only a Johnny Caswell there Cheers Richard richard,yes i spotted that as well,!!!
golborne soul Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) richard,yes i spotted that as well,!!! re- larry clinton ....i've just asked him is this the real picture of the 45 ... he as now added another picture of the 45 out of the sleeve but this picture has no felt pen on it ... two diffrent records ...... he replyed this is the record in & out of sleeve .... beware ... very suspicious ..... Edited April 10, 2010 by dean mitchell
Bitchdj Posted April 10, 2010 Author Posted April 10, 2010 nice pictures de-to...i'm not clever enough to do them ,or else i would post the doni burdick photo to scrutinise too.... i know who has purchased "bari track" and he asked the seller for a photo of the flip ( he was more than a tad suspicious after larry clinton went on "a buy it now" at a bargain price)..... he is still waiting !!!! its been over an hour since i asked why the l.c. was so cheap ??.... $3.200 less than a very similar copy, in identidal condition.... i would have expected him to have amended the price somewhat,but he hasn't...... i guess he's just a philanthrope with a big heart ???
De-to Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 hello again bitchdj,is this the d.burdick 45,??? https://cgi.ebay.com/DONI-BURDICK-BARI-TRACK-I-HAVE-FAITH-IN-YOU_W0QQitemZ260583924882QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_on_Vinyl?hash=item3cac032492
Bitchdj Posted April 10, 2010 Author Posted April 10, 2010 nice one dean...ive just wet myself........... the johnny caswell must be a "one off".... its a VG decca demo in MINT condition ...... god knows where i'm gonna get the money to pay for all of my new purchases ?? anyone want to make an offer on a well soused kidney ??
De-to Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 did someone else get stung with this one,????? https://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-NORTHERN-SOUL-YOUNGBLOOD-SMITH-YOU-CAN-SPLIT_W0QQitemZ260583724479QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_on_Vinyl?hash=item3cac0015bf
Bitchdj Posted April 10, 2010 Author Posted April 10, 2010 yes,thats the baby ,agent de-to....its the way its slightly short of 12 o'clock.... with shading round the bottom of the centre hole...most cameras seem to take pictures with a slightly different hue etc etc (eg the ideals on boo-ga-loo can look any shade between blue and purple) ...this looks identical to JM's auction pic...
Craig W Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 The seller has just listed a Blossoms 45 with a very vague image of the record upside down. https://cgi.ebay.com/THE-BLOSSOMS-ITS-ALL-UP-TO-YOU-FIRST-ISSUE_W0QQitemZ260583985572QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_on_Vinyl?hash=item3cac0411a4 Ive been watching this sellers antics for the last 24 hours and would be very wary of what he is up to.

But... If you pay with Paypal as the buyer accepts you should in theory get your money back if the item is not recieved.

Prophonics 2029 Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Saw that one - ended April 1 so is the whole thing a hoax, the popsike scan with the Jamie sleeve?
hrtshpdbox Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 A couple of years ago there was an Ebay'er with just three or four feedbacks (all as a buyer) who listed an impossible Five Sharps "Stormy Weather" 78, a nearly impossible Stones "Street Fighter Man" pic sleeve, and a few others records, as well as some ultra-rare vase and whatnot; the buyer said his grand-dad had passed away and left him the stuff. All went into the thousands, and none were ever delivered (as I recall, the Five Sharps had been photoshopped from Tefteller's website). It's funny how far people will go when they hope that something is true.

Soul-slider Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) Interesting that he has NO feedback and he's been a member since December 2007!!!!now that just does not add up! A scam all the way I reckon! Edited April 11, 2010 by Soul-Slider

Youngblood Smith average price is £125.
Hermanthegerman Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 It´ll certainly be fun to see our faces, if it doesn´t turn out a scam I doubt it, but was tempted.......

If it were me I'd stay WELL away !! Has anybody PROPERLY read his descriptions of the items he's selling.. VERY cleverly worded I feel - a potential interpretation being something along - and between the lines of : The item is a RARE collectors piece, IN IT'S ORIGINAL FORMAT here is an 'EXAMPLE' of the rarity WHICH IS A 'REPRO' !?! Doesn't actually state he is selling an ORIGINAL pressing of the item(s) !! Whilst, at the same time, avoiding describing it as a 'copy' of any sort !!!! Mmm.. I, for one, would most DEFO steer (round the other side of the globe if necessary..) to avoid this joker (imo of course..) Fingers
Dave Pinch Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Noticed that the seller bought a copy of Derek & Ray's "Interplay" about two weeks ago... https://cgi6.ebay.com...mpleted=1&all=1 the seller of the interplay re listed a copy of interplay last week and it finished yesterday so it looks like sirshakie never paid for the interplay he won either. very dodgy dave

Sebastian Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 the seller of the interplay re listed a copy of interplay last week and it finished yesterday so it looks like sirshakie never paid for the interplay he won either. very dodgy dave Dodgy indeed!
boba Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Dodgy indeed! both sellers are in Rochester, NY, this guy was obviously shilling for the other guy, or IS the other guy.
MikeHinNewJersey Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 i bought the youngblood smith $200, mmm..have not paid yet though. what do you all reckon on this? tell him you've got a mate that'll pop round to pick it up and pay cash
Investinsoul Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 I told him I lived nearby and would love to buy everything he has as long as I can pay him cash and see the records first. Ha...waiting on his response.
Investinsoul Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Here is his response to me wanting to pay him in person: "Im sorry, I do all my business by mail order. If I do anything from home, I will list as such. Thank You for your inquiry." So fishy. I told him a wanted to meet up or be able to call him just to verify the condition of the records. Waiting on his response... I am thinking about reporting him to the NY-FBI.

Pomonkey Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Should set up a dummy ebay ID to simply buy everything scammers like this list and not pay. Plus leave entertaining feedback of course.

Investinsoul Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 I asked him for his phone number so I could call and listen to the records he has. He just sent it too me. So I will give it a shot and tell yall whether he is for real or not. Donald

phillyDaveG Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 I don't even think of buying anything off someone unles they have 98+% positive feedback and at least a score of 50 or more. Certainly not big money items. That's like giving someone in the pub car park £500 and trusting that he'll meet you there tomorrow with your record.

Let's see what happens next ......
Pete S Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 The police need to be told about this, it's a full blown scam to con people out of their hard earned money. If it was in England, I'd do it.
