    It'd be really fucking funny if he finally came here for the first time now, when there are multiple threads on him on the front page

    Here I thought he was an overspending quack
    with the ability to buy everything in sight
    and the arrogance to expect sellers to know
    whether he'll like it or face loss of income.

    Biggest spender does not make "big fish" IMO.

    Economically...he is indeed the big fish.


    I've sold him plenty of LP's....some good....some bad.....never once has he complained or been a problem.

    So you're saying that all of the baseball cards in the world are worth more than all of the records?

    I don't see what the big deal is. Maybe dude already has ferrari's in all his fav colours and instead of buying another one in a colour he doesn't like he just buys records.

    Everything should be relative. If you have a couple of Mil or something. It's just like an regular dude buying something for 20 bucks.

    Shit 5 years ago, people all over the world were spending fucking crazy money on beanies babies that were brand new.

    I say let the dude live large.

    Also remember. For every big purchase, there's another dude on the other end thats willing to spend almost the same amount of money on the same record.


    PS- Somebody should tell him I could have gotten him the don carrington trio LP for alot less tho.


    Does dude new a minty Hot Chocolate or minty What is it???

    Is anybody watching hockey?

    That Wings/Oil game was pretty sick, although
    the end was pretty lame.

    Baseball cards are about the same level price wise as records. Sports cards took off in the 90s, then tanked. Not sure they ever recovered. Not saying there aren't very expensive baseball cards to be had, but the majority of buying and selling like the majority of buying and selling of vinyl is very light weight and probalby comparable in price.

    Rock is right that the high end
    of baseball cards is way beyond
    the high end of records.

    That "world's rarest record" that
    was in the old price guides, the Dylan
    that was found on the sidewalk in the
    village was what, $20,000?

    Honus Wagner be like upside down airplane level shit.

    I live in Edmonton and I didn't even watch that game. I have been shunned by my city, province, and country.
