    Wow, didn't see that one coming. Seriously surprised some of those records went for that much being sold by a zero feedback seller.

    Cool that you got your money but you must be pissed that you
    get no butt records, dawg. That shit is beyond lame.

    I was talking to my friend. Here's the thing that made me just say no way to the auctions. Guy buys over the years 21 used records and all of them grade VG++? It seems improbable to me that they would all grade that unless:
    1) No records in existence
    2) Doesn't know how to grade
    3) Seller optimism

    Cool shit. I hope my boy from down here got his funds reversed.

    Shit I remember the thread that started about his auctions. Many, including myself, inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt. Good thing I didn't bid on anything. Sorry to hear if anyone got ripped off.

  • Seller is a fraud! Seller seemed to have auctioned fake grail items with no intention of sending the records. Basically take the money and run. I just received this email from ebay telling me to take action to get any payments I made to this seller back. I cut and paste the email right below:

    The following is a notice from eBay Trust & Safety regarding:

    Item Number - 4839503428

    Item Title - WAYNE McGHIE & THE SOUNDS OF JOY BREAKS & SAMPLES

    Our records show that you were a bidder or buyer of one or more of this
    seller's items. We recently removed this seller's active listings and

    If the seller asks you to complete this transaction outside of eBay, we
    strongly recommend that you do not proceed with the transaction.
    Transactions for items listed on eBay but then completed off of the eBay

    If you have already paid for this item but have not received it, you
    should take all possible steps to receive reimbursement.

    1. Stop payment with your bank if you paid by check.
    2. Contact the Security Department of your credit card company to file
    a chargeback if you paid via credit card.
    3. If you paid via Western Union or MoneyGram, contact the company
    directly (Western Union 800-325-6000 or MoneyGram 800-926-9400).

    coverage at no cost. To file a claim with PayPal, login to your PayPal
    account and copy and paste the following link into your web browser:

    Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the File a Claim link.
    PayPal claims must be filed within 45 days of the close of the listing.
    It may take at least 30 days to complete the investigation and resolve
    the dispute.
    5. If you did not pay with PayPal and would like to file a claim with
    eBay, please initiate the Item Not Received Process online directly from
    the Security and Resolution Center at the bottom of the eBay.com page.
    6. eBay claims must be filed within 60 days of the end of the listing.

    Our goal is to ensure that your eBay experience is safe so that you can
    buy confidently. It is rare that something goes wrong with a
    transaction on eBay. However, in the event it does, we would like to provide as
    much assistance as possible to help resolve the issue.

    Please do not respond to this email, as your reply will not be
    received.

    I dont' understand why dudes do this with RECORDS. Why not do it with something thats gonna pull in like 1000s at once? Would it make a difference if you were prosecuted? I got ripped off by a dude in Mexico recently (which hurts cuz it was a fucking dope and rare record) never showed. Same shit with this dude. Some Ravi shit

  • This is a real strange situation. Ebay quickly blocked/deleted anything related to this seller (mel9061). None of the auctions can be found... even in completed auctions. Somehow ebay was tipped off very quickly about this seller which leads me to think they are planning to somehow take criminal action against this person.

    DAMN. There must have been some super silly business going on for PayPal and eBay to act this fast!

    probably because people wonder "why would someone do this with RECORDS" and they don't raise the same suspicions they would if they were selling something like laptops.

    Exactly. It was a scam, with record collectros like us as the mark. Fortunately, this one got found out. Frankly, record collectors are the perfect patsy. They will pay huge money for things other people consider trash. They act all illogical when you put a grail in front of their nose...I'm not saying I'm immune to this behavior (definitely not, in fact). Just saying this is why someone might choose to run a record scam.
