whoah, that is one hell of a Blue Note collection

wow. serious business.

i stopped counting when i got to a hundred grand. must be more like two hundred grand for all that stuff.

Fuck what is up with people registering, have zero feedback, bidding on my shit and then never paying. Had 4 no-pays in the span of one week. Shite.

the most disgusting savages!

:0)

Fuck eBay UK for for forcing free shipping on all records.

that fuckin guy i mentioned upthread eventually paid me but it took him several more days. i took my time mailing it out after he did.

wtf patrick? including box sets & international orders and the like? that's retarded.

lol @ that zeppelin description upthread, fuckin inner sleeve has mad ringwear that the guy who wrote 30,000 words about the great condition of the album didn't see fit to mention

wtf patrick? including box sets & international orders and the like? that's retarded.

I can still charge international postage but this has stopped me listing things for a no-fee 99p and then it doesn't matter if they don't sell since basic postage in the UK is now part of the price. Now it'll cost me for everything I list even if it goes nowhere.

It also means that eBay are getting a bigger slice of final seller fees as postage is included in them now.

It's the same deal for CD's and DVD's now too. There's no point in offering postage discounts for multiple items any more because, well, you can't charge postage anyway! Which means less sales, and less advantage for the buyer too as you have to be paying full postage on everything as sellers have to include the p+p in their listing fees. Hopefully ebay will invest the extra profit into their customer service HAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

And they said Capitalism would save us all!

someone should buy this record probably.
"forest ranger" is an amazing song.

that's not even good

also, what are you going to do w/a 10,000$ record? how can you make your money back off it unless you resell it?

play it? boot it? i would doubt it was bought to flip

Does anyone know how much the Italian Post service charges for approx 1 LP? There is a seller in Italy wanting 20 Euros to Canada (which is like $35 CDN). Isn't that ridiculously high? Somehow he has 100% feedback.

In my experience, LPs coming from France/Germany/Belgium, the postage paid is about 7-8 Euro for 1 LP.

isn't the italian post notorious for losing packages? i feel like i've seen a lot of sellers who refuse to ship there.

Yeah, there is that, too. I've sent to Italy with no problems, but many packages seem to "disappear" or take months to arrive.

Damn...do I really want to pay $20 Euro in shipping? :/

no, that is excessive.

hey remember that guy selling all those blue note records? el scamola:

At least they all seem to be getting their money back...Ouch.

that's not everything either. my brother said it added up to $120,000. can't find anything online about it though. ebay paid everyone.

jeeeessus.

what makes a man start lying?

the desire to live like a king in estonia for the rest of his days.

yikes:

and there are FIVE days left on the auction. ay yi yi.

i got the (very very nice) reissue of that the other day for 1% of that price

i think this will work - i've been having fun watching the deep pockets and highest auctions with this view:
http://tinyurl.com/yzssvxn

it's cool that the Sort persists if you drill down through genres and sub-categories.

top atm: original pre-Residents Santa Dog 7" at $1200, 2 days left...

that's cool! i wouldn't have thought to do it like that.

weirdness: last summer i sent a record to england and it was the one and only time i ever made the mistake of sending something out before i got paid for it. either i forgot or it was one of those deals where it said *payment pending* from paypal instead of *payment sent*. i don't remember. but i felt like an idiot. and i e-mailed this person more than once saying HELLO i sent your record even though you didn't pay me. can you PAY me??? after a while, i gave up. last week my box and record got returned to me. undeliverable. from last summer! guy must have died or something. glad i didn't harrass his ghost too much. would have been like a bad version of a raymond carver story.

i've had similar situations where records reappear after countless months in the ether. no paranormal activity involved though.

this guy...

Ebay has been underwhelming lately. A lot of the fun people who aren't trying to make a serious buck don't seem to be around as much.

i really want this album. but not a thousand dollar copy:

ebay UK have replaced the free shipping rule on records with a £4 maximum.
http://sellerupdate.ebay.co.uk/april2010/free-shipping-replacement.html

Well, thank god for that.

It didn't even happen: sellers would just put the postage charge in the main body, and add it onto the invoice on auction closure anyway.

Unless you were super-swift and paid before the invoice....

Hang on, that link says April 2010...

Q: Ciao! I am very interested to buy this cd, but I can't understand why I must add 11 dollars (I live in Italy) for a registration (for what?): Can you help me? Thank you very much, Luca

ok dudes im about to lock in bids for three robbie bashos (zarthus, sings, and song of the eagle) in nice condition (all LPs in NM- or better, one jacket E, the other jackets NM). is $50ish each a ridiculous thing to do? i really wanna get them, and these are in sweet condition, and i could save on shipping!
