[78-L] 78-L Digest, Vol 5, Issue 50

[David Lennick]

Echoing Glenn, but as you'll note, many of us on this list (aside from being 
curmudgeons of a certain age who were around when they still made 78s) have a 
vested interested in buying, selling and keeping the music alive 
professionally. EBay has made a great deal of stuff available that we might 
never have found otherwise, and it's all the more frustrating when we have to 
deal with damaged goods and a few bad apples among the sellers. It's a subject 
that comes up every so often and fades away.

Enjoy the sparks!

Oh, one hint..when you reply to an item in the Digest, quote the individual 
subject line.

Cheers

This list has lost a bunch of members recently due to these long, negative threads that are, many times, off topic.  Too bad as we lost some very knowledgable people.
