[78-L] More from the Eb*y Stupid File....

[Marie Lamb]

While this one from the same dealer is not in the million-dollar category,
this person is asking US $500.00 for an unopened copy of the "Sutherland
Sings Mozart" LP.  It's not
super-common, but it's not THAT big a rarity!  A U.S. dealer selling a
near-mint copy of the same LP that still has the label and shrink wrap has a
starting bid of US $5.00, which is much more in line with reality, IMHO. The
links for each one:

Granted, Dame Joan Sutherland is from Australia and they're quite proud of
her, but presumably not to the point of paying $500.00 American for an LP
that is not worth anywhere near such a price.  In plain old American slang,
"Yikes!"
