Can't Work Out Whether This Is An Ebay Scam Or Not

follow his solitary feedback!

At a guess he just sells on the same collection he bougt for his one feedback rating...even the cartonage is still the same LOL ! At least that what he says...strange that he is not using a reserve though

Strange thing is though Marc, the collection has multiplied, he bought a collection of 520 records, he is now selling a collection of 709

The postage has also doubled.

Strange.

He's selling more than he originally purchased - 709 compared with 520 in the original lot. Maybe he's stripped out what he wants, left the rest and added others to it from his own collection.

Doesn't look particularly dodgy to me, but what is a bit disappointing is that the artists names are given and then a separate list of labels. There is no mention of song titles, so you could be making some big assumptions that for example Ruby Andrews is one artist listed, if you look at the box pictured (right hand side) you see a Zodiac label - you could make the assumption that this is Just Loving You.

I think that if anyone is considering making a serious bid they should pick the artists from the list who they think might have a 'big ticket' record included in this lot, then email the seller and ask him what those particular titles are.
