    have you ever seen or been abducted by a UFO

    Are you talking about the crappy Timothy Good book from about 20 years ago? Ha ha. That crackpot has written several books about encountering aliens for crying out loud. Yup, even your own Timothy Good writes about "ship from another planet with aliens inside". I know what UFO technically...

    have you ever seen or been abducted by a UFO

    Are you serious? Nothing has been proven. No scientifically confirmed evidence exists. None. The national enquirer doesn't count. There is, however, a lot of speculation. And of course, an abundance of theories. But overwhelming evidence proving the existence of UFOs???? If anything, I...

    EBAY buyer claiming significantly not as described

    Saracenus, Thanks for the tip. I, too, am thinking about quitting. With stuff like this and exorbitant ebay/paypal fees, it's just not worth it. I've been really polite to the guy (maybe that was my mistake) but he's been getting increasingly hostile. His last message was straight up...

    EBAY buyer claiming significantly not as described

    The records cost about $40 and the postage was $40 (germany). He's saying I need to refund him $40 AND he gets to keep the records. Otherwise, he's threatening to elevate the dispute and try to get all $80 while keeping the records. He keeps saying he gets to keep the records. But, if he...

    EBAY buyer claiming significantly not as described

    I just got a message from Paypal that they were freezing some of my funds because one of my buyers filed a claim because he thought my records were "significantly not as described." I've never received any negative feedback about my record grading before.Now, he wants a FULL refund of the price...

    People do not know how to ship a record

    A japanese seller once sent me a record (Finger Five) sent in a thin plastic bag, one of those practically-transparent ones you get in cheap supermarkets. It was taped "shut" with some scotch tape. Somehow, the record was unharmed.

    Waiting on Ebay Auction Winners to Pay Up

    Seriously! What's the point of giving a guy an unpaid item strike if no one can see it? I'm sure you get banned if you get a lot of strikes, but other sellers should be warned. I've only been selling on & off for about 2 years, but slow payers and non payers are definitely on the rise.

    ebay store - yes or no?

    Is it better (i.e., cheaper in any way) to open an ebay store?I have a regular seller's account and the various ebay fees are killing me!! At the end of the day, I feel like I'm just giving stuff away for free. If I open an ebay store, I know I have to pay about $15 a month. So what are the...

    School me on L.A.

    You like ethiopian? Try the little ethiopia portion of fairfax. Meals by Genet probably has the best food (try their dorowat!) but I'm really not feeling their euro-style decor and (sometimes) snobby waiters. When I take friends to eat ethiopian for the first time, I just swallow my pride and...

    Where do you order your Paper products from? RR

    yep. best kept secret is Pat at Something Special. She's not even on the internet and is an old fashioned gal. If you are nice she might just give you an account and let you do billing rather than use a card. and she has rounded sleeves. That sounds like the woman who runs Far West Record...

    The most I ever spent was $150 for a nice copy of He 6 Vol. 2 last summer in korea. Before that, the most I had ever spent for one record was $34. No regrets.

    Seoul

    The underground market that Gary mentioned is near Myoungdong. Picked clean. Just out of curiosity - why does everyone recommend the stuff north of the (Han) river? It's good for shopping and underground clubs, but I actually prefer the nicer spots south of the river. There are some classy...
