I dont think the seller is on here. I assume he means he's got regular buyers he knows who are following the thread for him which I dont mind at all. I sent him a link to this thread as soon as I opened it. Let me reiterate here. I dont think he or I are duping each other. Just have different ideas about customer service. ROD

Hi Monkey, Think that's a very fair question. I think you should post that in LAYB though. The Wants section gets less through traffic. ROD [Forum Moderator]

Just got back from dentist. I did look at picture and it looked like UK. Solid centre,black, with Liberty logo. It's not a great picture. I did assume it was then UK cos on UK Ebay. I take the point about checking beforehand but there was nothing in the ad that caused me to think it was anything other than British copy. I had no idea it came out in Sweden. If I come across something else advertised on UK Ebay say on Stateside and picture is poor from now on I will be asking if that is UK Stateside. ROD

I do respect other views here from Mark etc. Just trying to point out that I DIDNT know what was on offer and am not trying to fool him as he says in his message. I thought from ad it was UK liberty. It was Swedish. That wasn't stated. I had no idea it existed on Swedish so it wasn't like "I must check fully with him that it's not a Swedish copy" I also have no intention of leaving negative feedback. I will get a refund and that will be it as far as Im concerned. I just think a seller should stand behind what he sells and when I contacted him he should just have said "sorry, I should have added Swedish to description". Far from messing him about I paid for the 45 almost immediately and contacted him as soon as 45 arrived and I looked at it. Its not like I expected a valuable UK Liberty copy and got a cheap Swedish copy. Probably little difference in actual value. And yes £15 isn't much but I am on the dole and dont have much spare cash so I'd rather I got something I actually wanted for my £15. With hindsight and reading Soul Slider's comment I should have just put it on here for sale but if I had not sold it I would have been stuck with a 45 I didn't want. And yes Boba I sent it back recorded so I will probably be out of pocket by a couple of quid. ROD

Yes he does mention pic sleeve but I didn't know. There were some sleeves in 60's mainly pop that were issued but just dont turn up. Thane Russell on CBS pops into my head. I just thought "oh some had sleeves". I agree though the pic is very vague. And of course unlike some pics there isn't a larger image available. ROD

Im not saying I was duped. Just that his ad wasn't clear. Well I dont think so and was just wondering what others thought. ROD

There were no stiffeners in mine either but just a cardboard sleeve. Suffice to say I put stiffeners in when I returned. ROD

You can post up any grievances with Ebay sellers. If you look there are loads of them. You dont have to get moderator approval. With sellers on here it is used only as a last resort. Better to sort out between buyer and seller behind the scenes with a little encouragement. And then if that fails both sides have their say in public. If dishonesty involved memberships have been revoked. ROD

There is no problem from my end. He will refund Im sure. But it should have stated it was on Swedish. ROD

If I was still selling Mark I woulda kept it and put it in sales box at £15-20. But hardly worth carrying one 45 around. I knew second bid was £15 so I didn't think he'd have a problem taking it back and getting rid. ROD

I dont usually do this but the seller has riled me . This is the last correspondence I got from him some minutes ago yes please post the comments in soul source,,,and i will also post up my 100% FEEDBACK,,,,will look forward to seeing that....you knew what was on offer you cant fool me,,,,as soon as its back ill check it,,then reimburse you.ive sold it again anyway,,,straight away...thanks SCO..let me know when its in,,,ive got a few very well collectors ready to follow it. This is the seller's original ad:- https://www.ebay.co.u...cvip=true&rt=nc As you can see it was for "Too poor to die" on Liberty. I bid thinking [though perhaps I shoulda checked?] i was bidding on a UK Liberty copy [it was on UK Ebay]. When I got it unfortunately it was on Swedish. I got in touch right away and asked the seller if I could return it as I didn't want a Swedish copy and would not have bid if I had known. He informed me at first that and I quote" i never said it was a UK issue,,,and the pic clearly shows it isnt a UK issue,,they never came with pic sleeves,,and were blue/pale blue...." I pointed out that I couldn't tell from the picture [i dont think its clear at all and looks like an UK issue with solid centre] and that he was thinking of "Train keep on moving" which is blue and that he didn't state it was on Swedish. He reluctantly agreed after telling me not to bid on his auctions again. I sent it back today by recorded after he agreed and sent me his address yesterday, Am I being unreasonable here ? The record is fine but just not what I thought I was bidding on. So much for his "100% guarantee,,return for refund if not satisfied ROD

Here's Bethea. Think I got it off Pottsy on here from Ebay. Quite a nice record. Not quite how I envisaged it would come out on the page but you get the idea.

Here's Tony Middleton [hopefully] ROD

If these are open to offers then topic can remain unlocked. Next time though do not keep re-opening a topic I've locked without consulting me first. If I've locked it there is a reason. If circumstances change I can look at it again. ROD [Forum Moderator]

I'd remind you both that this is Ralf's personal want posting and perhaps not the best place to discuss Judy Freeman. ROD [Forum Moderator]

Frustrating I know but Mal did point out the fly in the ointment here. ROD

And I prefer to keep it locked so we dont have any more superfluous posts bumping your ad. ROD [Forum Moderator]

You know Im anal. Gotta look like that stuff you got off me back in end of May. ROD

A nice minty copy and I will take it Pete. Thanks a lot. ROD

I know. Pretty vague. I've PM'd Warren to get him to go into more detail. Gonna lock it now as I think Mal and Jim have made the point. ROD
