listening to this song now

Scans look like on the one that went through recently, looks like a pretty obvious scam to me.

I just wrote to the seller and asked a straight forward question about stamps / writing in the run out groove. Thought it might give a clue if he has the item or not.

Here's his reply:

Hello,

Ahh Pottsy,

But is the record you've been offered authenticity?

How about everyone oh here with an ebay account start asking him a question about it, see what replys he can come up with?

Maybe worth letting the people bidding on it know.

Mind you it usually takes eBay a while to act on anything so it could be an interesting excercise

Good idea mischief. My question wasn't very technical.... i only asked him which state he lived in.

Let's see if everyone gets the same reply.

I've just emailed him, so we'll see what reply I get. It's funny that it uses the exact same scans and title as the copy olrecord sold earlier this year. F*ckin idiot, as if we weren't going to notice

Maybe worth letting the people bidding on it know.

Won't it just get pulled?

If I contact the bidders to tell them it's probably dodgy, it could be argued that I'm trying to sabotage his auction without proof of anything iffy.

If it does get pulled I've probably done 'em a favour anyway

its a con

hes offered this to my m8 for £700

he wants a cash transfer

np paypal

he wont answer any questions when my m8 contacts him

he says he bought it off ebay for bout 1200 but now hes skint and needs cash

he wants to use western union transfer

Why don't we all bid really high - to about ten grand, he thinks he's rolling in it, then the winner doesn't pay! I'm willing to sacrifice 1 neg feedback rating for it

Let's just see if i get a reply to this question i've just sent him.

"Hello again, i'm very interested, but i'd like it for $900. Can you confirm it is the rare version with the church choir backing. I would have thought it would be, please let me know a.s.a.p. Thankyou."

No other items for sale,

No feedback,

Brand new member,

No address on payment details,

Dodgy "lifted"scan,

Incoherent answers.

No Paypal.

The strange spelling reminds me very much of our belgian friend! No native english speaker would write like this, would they (defanitaley some would am sure though I! )? He has been a member of this forum under various pseudonyms and probably reads the forum from time to time.

I downloaded the scans of the one that went through ebay recently and ive just don the same with these and lo and behold they are Identical right down to watermarks and smudges...either the person who bought it last time is reselling...or as weve all summised its a definit scam

Geeoooordie

No matter how skint you were, wouldn't you put a reserve or more of a grand on to at least stand a chance of getting most of your money back?

New high bidder.....

Don't think they will pay up though.... dont suppose they mind getting a negative feedback.....

WOOF!

The so called seller sent me another email with the exact same content as last time (see above), so i replied:-

GENE TOONES - STILL ON THERE?????????????? EBAY BE AFRAID BE VERY AFRAID.

LINKING THIS TO ANOTHER THREAD, NOW YOU KNOW WHY PEOPLE GO TO JOHN MANSHIP, AT LEAST YOU KNOW ITS THE REAL DEAL, I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH HIM OR THE RECORDS HE COMES UP WITH AND I HAVE BOUGHT AND SOLD THRU HIS AUCTIONS. TOP BLOKE

Most american (and other) sellers on ebay are good and serious people in my experience, I have had few bad experiences. There is a feedback system, use it, and ask questions before the auction end and you'll be alright. If you seriously bid on something like this Gene Toones (without taking precautions and researching a bit) you are simply not very clever, and there is no insurance that will always protect you against your own stupidity.

Me 22.49: You misunderstood my question.... please answer that which was..... I'm in UK but have various contacts all over USA.... if win can I arrange for it to be picked up and cash handed over at that time?.... please let me know.... Thanks

Him 23.02: I'm in Illinois,Chicago,and all the shipping cost i will pay for it,

Me 23.08: Got family near Chicago and friends nearby so can arrange for one of them to meet you and exchange if I bid and win.... when they are in UK in a month they can fetch.... safer with them than in postal service.... would that be OK.... Thanks

As you can imagine.... still waiting for the latest reply ....

Yeah, the choirboys bit is priceless What a tool he is!!! I wish we knew where he really was, tossers like him deserve a bloody good kicking. Some people actually bid on that record and the less astute could part with hard earned cash.

I think we should ALL start emailing him en masse so his account gets blocked up - w*nker!! Send 10 emails each and he'll have to trawl through them thinking some are genuinely interested in the "record"

Someone should ask him if it is the version WITHOUT the Church Choir backing, as you have the rarer Church Choir backing but want the one without....but then again why bother - why no action from E Bay then?

Amazingly bidding has shot up to £5K on this record....

Bet the ''seller'' is pissing his pants at the thought.

WOOF!
