Foolish People: clueless ebay record sellers

[gregk25]

Not sure who the fool is in this case, seller, buyer or myself, but I'm kind of puzzled by

a) the seller calling this "superb condition"
b) the fact that torn beer mats with three letteres scribbled on are worth $100+ today
b1) esp. this being a Newcastle Brown Ale mat (now if it was Murphy's...)
c) the seller's notion that somebody might actually frame this

$3000 min. bid for a G condition copy of "I'm Lovin' You" by the Decades...I won't even trouble everyone with the ridiculousness of this expectation by providing the link. His posted comment: "sounds good to me..."
Let's just say 2014 got off to a flying start with this clown who leads the pack of Clueless ebay sellers!

If the beer coaster had Sid's blood on it, I might be interested. I would expect anything signed by him to say something like "fuck off and die you wanker"

As a record store manager, you should see what people bring to me regularly, to sell to the store.

I'd go out of business, if I purchased all that whipped cream.

This has to be the most liberal use of the term "garage" I have ever come across:

And it's a picture disc ta boot

"Rare" isn't exactly too appropriate either.
Not too many years ago, I saw a noted eBay psych designer dealer, who had no need for abusing keywords, title an auction for a copy of Revolver "Pop Psych Garage Freakbeat".

i've played guitar in a garage quite a few times. i've burnt things with a cigarette.

they should put me on ebay. i'm damn near 60, but i'm not VG+ by any means. so I might not get many bids.

I just got a copy of one of my top wants, Vejtables "Feel the music"/"Shadows" - unfortunately the seller failed to mention a major cigarette burn on "Shadows" ...



Waiting for a full refund from the seller. Oh, and the other side is totally scratched up and plays with surface noise + the record was sent without a sleeve stuck inside some taped together cardboard!

 

[bosshoss]

I wonder if my stylus would be vg+ after playing the burned side?

That's only a minor cigarette burn. Major is when it burns right through to the other side.

here's an email i got from a seller who was bugged cause i mentioned him by his nick name
why did you call me (???)in your feedback ?

that was REALLY irresponsible

i don't need my psedonym or real name mentioned on ebay

now i've got to have your feedback

removed

that was really BAD what you just now did

it actually ruined my day and weekend

you NEVER EVER call out a seller or buyer by their true identity

that is totally bush league



oh brother. your gonna give me a hard time about paying you next

 

[nadorozny2001]

by the way the guy is a known garage guy from the 1980's -90's

 

[bosshoss]

So if you work behind the counter in a shop, you should wear a mask?

 

[nadorozny2001]

it was that mono man guy from the lyres. what an asshole. i shoiuld send him a postcard & tell him to go fuck himself
