[78-L] A mis-informed seller? or just plain dumb?

[Jim Whipkey]

  There's a seller on E-Boing   I came across yesterday  who is  offering  398 LP records from the 70s and 90s, which he says are 78rpm.  The  offering was such a mess of contradictions I  felt compelled to ask him a question, part of which inquired  about was he sure  the records were 78rpm,  which of course was ignored.

  the item number is 320477094503.  The seller is the VillageGiftShoppe,  and is "a top rated seller",   This  seller is offering the records for $125.00.  Payment must be by Paypal,    no returns accepted and  local pickup only, but  inquire if you're buying  more, so he can give you a shipping discount.  The description says the  jackets are in fair to poor condition,  but  one might consider using them in crafts projects.  assuming the records are in playable condition,  you can get them for about 31 cents apiece,  such valuable  discs of great artists  from the 70s and 90s,  none of which I would  have or bother listening to.
  Irritates me to see  dummies like this  offer something which is patently incorrect,  which by association, colors  other sellers who accurately list  their items.   This seller is in Gnadhutten, OH, place I know well, deep in the heart of what is called  "Amish" country, where they have a lot of  those  folks who eschew  modern inventions such as electricity and phones.
