[78-L] Caveat Emptor: Paul Solarski / ebay "lecter54"

[buster]

Just in case it matters, this dealer, Paul Solarski, aka "Paul  
Solarski Rare Records", aka ebay seller "lecter54" and using an email  
address as "Andrew Solarski" has turned out to be rather bigoted and  
unpleasant.  Here, in his own unedited words, is probably enough  
information for you to form your own opinion:

------------------------------

assuming you are gay being from CA.You are a true douchbag.

I think what these alias postings are are vehicles so losers can find  
their need to join something so they search for anything to  
participate with-such as your flimsy complaint-why didn't you state: I  
am a bottom feeder that buys $1 records. I almost shit in my pants whn  
I won these for less than a dollar...

"but can you please send me a brief blurb on your packing methods so  
I'll be less nervous" so my bottom feeder specials will not get upset.

 From that I should tell you to go fuck yourself but you are obviously  
already into California reaming so watch that hershey highway and wear  
a condom when your boyfriends play with you.

------------------------------

all this for $20 worth of old records, poorly packed.  lots of anger  
and unresolved issues for this one, it would seem.

i won't mention him again;  hope someone finds this useful, and if  
not, ignore.
