Foolish People: clueless ebay record sellers

Since Bob says this is the only known copy, I can confirm it exists and it's real. I had this briefly in my possession in the late 2000s and heard it. There are some slight differences in the mix to the mono release (I had a stock original to compare it with then and made some notes which may exist somewhere in my abode).
However, there was uncertainty as to the vintage of the acetate. It wasn't sure if this was from '67 or may have been done by Lelan Rogers in conjunction with the 70s IA represses. I had a discussion with Patrick the Lama on that (may still exist in my email folder).

Of course, a good chunk of what Bob rambled on about in his description does qualify it for this thread. It reads like he just cobbled together whatever random notes he could scrape off the internet to make him sound like he knew the Elevators and their music inside out.
Last, but certainly not least, his grading sucks (no surprise to those who know him). Something that's allegedly "VG++ TO EXCELLENT (just a notch below NEAR MINT)" wouldn't skip. This had skips on one song, maybe two.
 
Not me obviously:

TRULY AMAZING!!! There will be MANY auctions available for the records that I have. DEFINETELY make me a favorite search!!!!!

EACH AND EVERY "45 rpm" record that I sell will be cleaned, using diluted glass cleaner.
This works VERY WELL, does NOT affect play, and cleans super-nice !!


DO YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE BOUND FOR ETERNITY IN HEAVEN, AFTER YOU DIE??
There is ONE way to know for sure :)


John 3:16-17New King James Version (NKJV)


16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, JESUS CHRIST, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."
 
while i'd never call the seller a "dumbass" or "idiot" as our threads suggest, i still find this listing quite cringe-worthy. $300 bucks for something that does not play except for a short piece of super lame pop/rock-mediocrity.:nope:

How about this? Is it possible to be this stupid? Apparently it is...
How hard is it to google "Moving Sidewalks + Mutt" instead of just making some s**t up? Or is it a deliberate scam? :O

I sent this guy a message with a link to 45cat.com showing that the ep he is pushing is from 1980. Here's what he just sent me back.

Hello,

Well, that is your standpoint. I have posted it with a full description and all the info I have on it so it´s up to the buyer to make up if it´s a original or boot leg. I have bought it as an original.
I sold an autograph a year ago and recieved a mail from somebody (not the buyer) saying that it was a fake. Funny that since I obtained it from the artist personally.

Thank you, go bother somebody else.​
 
I'm not surprised at all. Someone that stupid will definitely take that standpoint - going all defensive... wow
