E-Bay Stalker ?
If you want to see the full ID of the bidder, go to Advanced Search->By Bidder and put in your user ID, check "Include completed listings" and uncheck "as high bidder only" and click on "Search". It will show the full ID of the bidder. I'm pretty sure I know who it is in this case and they aren't stalking you (not that that would be possible).

Record Skimming
people keep talking about the "boiling method" which is apparently specific to UK discs. There definitely are a bunch of US sellers that polish records and I don't think they're using steam. I don't think they're using T-Cut either (which isn't available in the US as far as I know, although maybe there is a similar product). I don't know how they do it but I have gotten lots of obviously polished records in the mail, I can think of 4 california sellers alone that do it (not going to name names here). You can tell the record has been polished as there are dull scratches that look like they used to be deeper. I also have gotten more and less polished discs, sometimes trashed records have clearly been highly polished where there is little left in the grooves versus records that clearly just have a little bit taken off. Also, some of the records I've gotten that have been more heavily polished have wear on the label that looks like it might be from the process.

Audio On 12 Inch
I think John Anderson or soul bowl is actually thanked on some audio 45s, if he brought in the 12" I'm sure it's legit

Ebay Snipers
this doesn't contradict what I was saying, people don't bid their true max / "true valuation" (which is slightly more than you want). However, you STILL should snipe because it's still better to pay less than your true max even if you're willing to pay more. Why throw away that money?

The Intrigues On Bullet
this is the first release. not super rare, although it's usually about VG in my experience.

Record Skimming
it's the practice of "polishing" the record, usually by taking a layer off of the surface. if you look at a polished record, it's clear it's been polished, there are scratches that are clearly the deeper end of the scratch where the top part has been taken out, and the record has an unnatural shine. anyways, polishing won't fix a skip, but it's not that hard to fix a skip unless there is a scratch parallel to the grooves that is causing it. i think pete s said he could fix skips for you, you might try him.

Ebay Snipers
anyone who complains about being outbid, sniper or not, didn't bid their true max, which is slightly higher than you want to pay so you think "screw it, I didn't want it anyways" when you are outbid. snipers take out of the equation people who will rebid out of spite and not bidding their true max, bumping up your bid unnecessarily. if everyone bid once with their true max, snipers would be unnecessary.

Trivial Pursuit
I don't think they are the exact same group, search for a thread here about the technics, there is an LP that has a bunch of info on the back about the technics and someone reposted it here.

Trivial Pursuit
I went to the city of chicago website once to pay a parking ticket and on the site a page caught my eye, it was a list of people who owed the city the most money for water. i thought it was funny and opened it up and there was an "ernest mosley" on there owing the city over $10,000 for water.

Jackson Sisters - Miracles
polydor 45 is actually a different version, harder drums and clubbier sounding. i've only ever found the polydor version in real life for some reason despite the prophesy version always being on ebay.
