VG minus! I hope you didn't charge him for the postage.

Postage AND insurance...that was a "high dollar" record back then! (lol)

The 'garbage man' John D!
Wonder whatever happened to him?

Dad musta found out how much he was spending on rekkids.

I recall John D. being the same collector who offered $800 for the Mourning Reign with the picture sleeve in the late 1980s.

He must have taken that classic Third Bardo single literally...he was definitely five years ahead of his time.

I plead guilty to being one of the first Americans to get a ridiculous price for a 60s garage 45.
I sold a VG- copy of the Split Ends 'Rich With Nothin' (XXX version) to a fanatical Florida
collector for $425.00 way, way back in 1982. Anyone here can score a M- copy for about $200
these days. Mea culpa...mea maxima culpa.

At the time of sale, it was worth exactly $425.00, namely what someone would pay for it. The concept of inherent worth is meaningless in reality.

Money is just a practical joke played by bankers. "All is Maya...all is Maya."

Frank M.'s latest ramblings lost me somewhere down the line. i vaguely remember something about cuddling with a gay couple in a non-sexually arousing way in a tunnel and some milky substance opening the path to nirvana. i was distracted at this point and never went back to the narrative.
