This is a must have for record lovers!
These are 129 Different opera records from 1940 to 1970.
The reason the shipping is so expensive is because of the total combined weight.
Starting bid: US $550,000.00
price: US $1,400,000.00
The reason the price is so high is because the records are worth that amount,but also because Ebay take a large amount the selling price.
These records are what my mother wants me to sell, she has stage 3 Alzheimers Desasise,
She has asked me to sell them, that way she won't have to worry about the her care in home now, and funeral costs when she dies.
These are records in mint condition, and will be a huge investment in the future

    the more folls like this there are, the more ebay's stock goes up. posting fees are the goldmine.

    why do SO many people fail to do any research before listing? It borders on willful ignorance, because its so easy to run a 30 day completed check and see whats been selling and what does and doesnt work. yikes.

    There's a theory that eBay plants sellers like this out there to encourage a snowball effect of activity such as this...

    I believe he also sold some propery or real estate and used the same photos for different places....

    It looks like the seller is using broken English. Maybe the listings are meant to be in Lira?


    These are some other confusing ones from the same seller:

    one bidder hit the buy it now button on one of her auctions where the price was $1,875,000 for five opera records.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1588&item=4838003907

    this person was probably stoned and retracted. so she left negative feedback

    because this bidder didn't pay the $1.8 million he/she owed her

    Unfortunately, they probably haven't even gotten the bill yet. How many thousands of dollars in listing fees will that be? I couldn't find it on the eBay site offhand.

    Actually, it doesn't look like the fees keep increasing after a $500 opening price, so these auctions cost only $5.05 to list with the buy-it-now feature.

    Still...

    I think that's roughly a $20,000 listing fee - isn't it about 4%? I don't think it's long before we'll see "no longer a registered user" beside his handle.... ebay foll #1.

    I thought you had to pay fees only when someone payed for an item?

    You have to pay listing fees just to put to something on there

    you have to pay to list and pay if your item gets sold. And then you have to pay again if you receive your payment via Paypal, which basically is Ebay.

    That is so strange. The buyer leaves a positive feedback, which leads me to believe that he/she was satisfied with the item. The seller than replies with the above stated remarks
