Paul Capon

Did this sell??? Eddie & Ernie - Beautiful World / Indication JAYBOY

Could someone post the results for the 24/07 auction please

The problem I’ve had is Royal Mail demand proof of value not the sales price. How many of us have receipts for every records you own….. In all the years I’ve only had to make 5 or 6 claims. The most recent was a few weeks ago for a £5.50 George Benson 45 that never arrived. I refunded the buyer and made a claim on principle rather than for the money and to RM’s credit they sent me a cheque inc postage.

Not an external noise but once you hear this you can’t miss it. On Sideshow ‘Sexy Lady’ - MUSCADINE 45 the lead vocalist Arthur Ponder comes in too early at 2 mins 25secs after the instrumental break. He then sheepishly trails off and comes back in when he is supposed to at 02:44. Makes me smile anyway!

Aaarrrrgggghhh !!! Thanks

This is bugging me - what is the song on this clip please?? https://www.facebook.com/share/v/f4SWNThRx9SAweW2/?mibextid=KsPBc6&startTimeMs=38000

One here - PMd you

This user on Discogs koolandgroovez Bought a cheap record and reported it broken and he offered to send pics. I naively refunded him straight away (I won’t do that again). No pictures despite several requests. He then responded to my email saying he was ’on holiday until the end of July’! I waited a few more days and send another email - nothing so I posted negative feedback. Since then two other sellers have pinged me saying they have also had the buyer report their items were broken in the post. Scumbag scammer - avoid at all cost By the way - here are his details Mr Alex Thomas <address edited out by site> I posted this on the Vinyl Vigilante Facebook group and this was also confirmed:- Been caught out before - there was a posting about him on this forum in March 2023 - 'Has anybody else had any dealings on Discogs with Alex Thomas from Kidderminster user name: Vinylfan0509 also recently opened another account in the user name of johnnycashfan200900 His agenda is to get records for nothing. He says that the records he has received have arrived broken/cracked. He will not send them back but does demand a refund. I have been in contact with other sellers he has dealt with and they say the same - I gave him a refund because he mad me so angry and it it just not worth it., others have done this also. He is a nasty piece of work who does not hesitate to leave bad feedback. I contacted Discogs expressing my concerns and they did remove the bad feedback he had left me. Just by pure coincidence I mentioned it to a friend and told him to be aware of vinylfan0509 So when had a similar experience from johnjnycashfan200900 he rang me to check if it was the same guy. It was the same person and the same address and the wording he used trying to get a refund was exactly the same. I think this guy is running multiple accounts - a fraudster who wants to collect records for nothing'
