[78-L] eBay rules

[Taylor Bowie]

"Jimmie Rodgers"?  I think you mean Jimmie Rodger's!

I want the vinyl to be shinny and no marks on the lable,  either!

You iz somewhat out of date,  Cary,  as it's been quite some time since the 
seller could leave negative feedback for any buyer.  But I know what you 
mean.
