My guy had like 8 ratings that seemed legit lol and the price seemed middle of the pack price wise. It wasn't like the cheapest copy or anything.
Should I be alarmed if he generated a label within an hour of me paying the invoice? The fact that you just said you've gotten scammed with 200+ ratings has be ultra worried now.

i will say, it was easy to get my money back from paypal when i got scammed. they sided with me immediately.
i wouldn't be worried if they generated a label quickly. i tend to do that just so I don't forget...but definitely keep an eye on the progress. hope it works out for ya!
the latest scam seems to be that dormant seller accounts get hacked, someone changes the paypal account, lists a buncha stuff and cashes out. i didn't get a mailing label which prompted me to contact the seller after 5 days or so (it was over a holiday weekend so figured i would give them a little time to get it packed and shipped).

Oh yeah, everything I sent always got there, just 5-6 weeks later.

I should ask you about that one sometime. Like what pressings are decent.

so someone got his account hacked and either didn’t notice or Discogs took too long to respond ? shitty.
I’m more and more returning to the same sellers nowadays.

This one comes with a bit of a story. I have a sickness. I have lost track of the number of copies of this album I have purchased over the years, chasing the perfect sound in my memory. It’s an addiction, like chasing the feeling of the first high. Growing up my best friend was Brian. His...

Also, Pete Townsend can go fist a horse if they thinks I am going to drop about $400 on a cd boxset for Who's Next.

Man I knew you told us about this before, but damned if I remember actually participating in the conversation. I’m getting old man.
So the MOV then. Is that relatively easy to find?

They’re just about to drop the Half Speed Master. I know that series can be mixed but I quite liked what they did with the first four who albums.

That's what I was going to suggest. The MOV version does not seem to be very common lately

I have only owned this pressing of the album on vinyl. Before that I had a Japanese SHM-SACD. Both are fantastic. Sorry can’t be of more help!

I won't lie. I grabbed some KG classical after hanging up from that YT video. The card board box story is hilarious. Sony is a mess...

I was wondering how so many scams were happening with longstanding accounts, and the hacker scenario is a very logical explanation that I hadn’t considered.
I agree about not worrying if a shipping label is created quickly. If I get an order when I’m working from home, I print labels almost immediately. And if it’s really the right time in the afternoon before the postal worker delivers my mail, I ship it almost instantly by handing it to them. I’m on good terms w/ my main postal delivery guy. I apologize for how many records I get, and he tells me it’s nothing compared to a guy a block over. And we tip him every Christmas, so that helps.

A few from the 2016 Speakers Corner Columbia MasterWorks. Geez it's an encyclopedia of words.
I just wanted to hear a few and might sell later. Out of print for the most part.

Also I agree, I play it in the background. These YT guys tend to regurgitate already discussed conversations from Westman and interviews before. A little prep would be nice but it is what it is on these You Tube dudes.
