He must have seen this thread by now and hasn't offered any explanation despite a number of people (including me) doing the "calm down, calm down" thing.
I hesitated about saying this when I first posted because I thought that there was a bit of a lynch mob attitude and felt that Ian should be given the chance to defend himself but he hasn't. My deal went through OK in the end, but it did take some time (over a month) from flash to bang. I did wonder if he had sold me a record he hadn't got and then went out to find one for less than I paid. maybe? maybe not? Don't know, but he is still offering records to people despite having his reputation completely trashed on here. Go figure as our colonial cousins would say.
Personally Dante, if you haven't sent him the money yet then I wouldn't, particularly for Ace Spectrum which is a really common record and appears on ebay every other day.
I may be speaking out of turn here but I'm just expressing my opinion.
Cheers
