My $1.68 STARCASTLE eBay purchase came today!!! One of those estate liquidators sold it so I wasn't expecting much since they wouldn't know a good shape record from shinola.

It is virtually mint, light sleeve paper scrapes etc. It was a little dirty though but once I cleaned it .... beautiful sound. No noise record with quiet lead ins. The sleeve is a little ring worn but nothing too homely imo.

Anyway I am waiting for a couple more records in the mail from"eBay" and hope I make out as well with those. I got each of those for $1 so it won't be a huge let down if not great.

Anyway .... wanted this album here for a while.

Bought a copy of U2's Joshua Tree from a Canadian... I don't know anything about Canadian pressings. I was happy because I won the auction for 4.50, but then 14.00 shipping made me sad. I'm thinking that buying vinyl online just isn't worth it because of shipping costs.

I also bought Obscured by Clouds from a Japanese seller. I don't know if it is original. The auction said $4 for shipping. Then I got an email demanding more. Then I got an email saying it shipped. I don't know what to believe anymore.

The ad usually states "$4 is not the shipping!!!!" and they list an airmail rate of usually $12 to $14. It's eBay's fault and not the international seller's fault.

I haven't had any problems ... if on ebay check the seller's location and don't bid.

I got 100 plus for 99p on Ebay yesterday. Picking them up on Sunday. Then I'll know whether there's anyting worth keeping. The last time I bought a 99p job lot, I kept a dozen or so for myself, made a tenner selling a few on Ebay, and the rest are going towards my next 99p job lot sale :lol:

It's hardly big business, but it keeps me out of trouble and gives me something to do :D

Uh oh! Some careless record store employee put this out before the release date! Of course, I did not buy it, but dutifully reported it to the management and asked them to hold it for me until Tuesday... :wink:



Well, maybe not.
I know it's only rock & roll, but I like it.
