I am the seller of THIS comedy sale of the day.

I sold a record on Discogs, the order came in on Christmas Eve at about 8pm, so I sent out an invoice then prepared to shut down for the holiday.

Yesterday I got an email from the guy asking where his record was.  He is in the United States!

A certain UK dealer seems to always have a habit of hoovering up very fairly graded records from well known US dealers, then listing them back on eBay at buy it now set rate prices with massively exaggerated gradings.

I have noticed this on many occasions, but this last one is the straw that broke the camels back a record originally graded vg- or possibly even G+ with discoloured labels, a couple of months ago by US seller has suddenly and miraculously become Ex....... This record is beautiful philosophy by the way, for those who can't open the link, and for the record I didn't bid because the condition was shabby.

Same person did it with a copy of Gino Washington I lost you girl on perfecta a few years ago, then inflated the condition and relisted it at 6 times the amount, fixed price.

Whilst I understand people need to make a living and I'm certainly not mithering about that, I think this is just deceitful - is this Dick Turpin masquerading as a record dealer? Do they think they can get away without people realising their tactics?

Well, news flash, some people scour eBay from top to bottom so it won't slip through the net!

The very brass neck just really winds me up, and it's not so much comedy as just plain ridiculous...

In my experience there's not too many clean copies of that about, sound file sounds pretty good to me, but I'm always suspicious of photos that don't detail the vinyl, especially at that price BTW whats a minter worth £300.00?

Genuine reason for sale?????..........always puzzled me that comment, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Better still it says..  "must go to a good home"... :g:

 

Now call me a cynic but I reckon if you offered him 6 times the going rate and told him you always "wiped your backside on a record after playing it"  you'd still get it! :lol:

Think I must have got out of bed the wrong side this morning, not meaning to be belligerent or to cause unnecessary fuss if not merited. Fair play for such epic use of "creative license" I salute thee lol
