Ebay sellers have gotta quit saying things like "original represses". Or try to hide it by saying "original" then later on say RE?
"We are unable to verify with our suppliers whether this is an original or re-issue, nonetheless if you bid with us you will be getting a very hard-to-find LP in beautiful condition!"

The one that I hate the most (because it got me a couple of times, of course) is "second pressing" standing in for "bootleg reissue," which happened to me on an Eddie Fisher & the Next 100 Years, he was like "in opened shrinkwrap, second press" it seemed like the whole listing was designed to make you think it was original - I mean, a "second press" on Cadet of that LP probably does exist, with the orange label or whatever...what dude sent me was the Kim's-Video-style "reissue" bootleg sounds-like-shit pressing.
There's another guy who always calls his psych reissue records "a true artifact of the sixties" and seems to be going out of his way to pass them off as OG, when they are in fact reissues available for $8 everywhere else on the web.

Fuckin' please! We just ordered this brand new looking rare record, but were not sure if it's a re-issue.

yeah, but the fruit stripe label is a later press than the orange label.

haha! true.
Yea, they've always been wacky, but the overload of recent re-ish has got people showing how shady they really are.
"I'm a record dealer who isn't shure about pressings."
Oh so your
1. A fucking lier trying to rip me off
or
2. A dumbfuck who doesn't know shit
El Rey will make you pay.
i've actually gotten some good original pressings from that seller though.
