$63US minimum bid with 0 feedback.

+ this hilarious little quote: "I don't grade records but will discuss a refund if you are not satisfied with my grading and item is returned in same condition as posted."
How can an eventual buyer be satisfied or not with the grading, if he doesn't grade records?!? :confused:

Huh?

People like this is going to be a much bigger pain in the ass when they start selling off their precious Garage Greats collection some x year´s on from now. Especially if some patina is added to the boots general appearance.

This guy must be a baseball fan, because he wants you look at the "pitcher".

He's also a mathematician, since his "5 records for $5" lot actually costs... $13.50!

Wow. And how is anybody going to find these records if he's too lazy to even type the artist/titles in the description?

GARAGE?

Yeah man- it's NORTHERN Garage. It is a new style of music just breaking the big city dance scene, Garage record collectors dress in speedos and wear bowties and revive break dancing...

 

[eargasm!]

Certainly has gone up in price since I purchased my copy.

[reyes]

Ha, only copy in existence??? What about the repro copies that exist where did those come from. Plus that copy In popsike for 100 and change. 90 grand? what are these people thinking? I wonder

thinking doesn't come into it! if they thought for a second they'd realise 90 grand isn't going to happen, in this world or any other.

"It's almost like a garage rock Northern soul record...."

yeah, almost.

 

[Jeffers66]

"It's almost like a garage rock Northern soul record...."

yeah, almost.

If the Lettermen were from Chicago and hired James William Guercio to produce them, this is what you'd get.

 

[HarvestmanMan]

Classy move, threatening potential buyers even before describing the actual disc.

"hello! DONT YOU DARE WATCH THIS AUCTION. THIS IS THE LAST TIME I AM RELISTING THIS ---- im not listing items over and over again so that 15 dudes can watch and nobody bids. (ridiculous!)"

How high will it go? :p

Plus this gem:

"this is an absolutley smoking snarling shitty day snotty fuzzy 60s stomper"

Smoking, snarling, snotty, fuzzy...sounds pretty bad.

This turd (I mean the listing/description....not the record!!!) has been kicking around for a while.....

"FURTHERMORE, I BELIEVE THESE WERE RECORDED PRIOR TO HIS DEATH IN THE LATE 50'S- BUT RELEASED IN THE EARLY 60'S."

I would hope that he would have recorded them prior to his death!

 

[MopTopMike]

$75 for the reissue!

Doesn't say that it's the reissue. It does however say:
"Vinyl in excellent condition to boot, save for light intermittent static." So, I guess the word "boot" constitutes full disclosure.
