[78-L] Clueless classical 78 rpm seller

[David Lennick]

Jeez, who packed those? The Erna Sack Capitol set is probably already smashed, 
and the Rossini Overtures should have been at the outside of that box. Some 
people....wait a minute, isn't that from one of my lockers?

Kidding aside, that could be a helluva collection for someone at that price. I 
hauled more than that out of the basement of Hobart-William Smith College in 
2003. Had to make two trips with it and stow half of it in Nick Nickson's 
garage, and the price was something like 3 discs for a dollar.

Might be tons of dupes of what I've already got from Kurt Nauk about 16 to 20 years ago when I bought his whole wall of classical 78's for $200 when he was closing down his Houston shop before he moved to Spring. Then add the other classsical 78 rpm sets I've picked up since then&  you'll see why I don't want to buy this lot. Now if he had a Make Offer button I might offer perhaps $75 for what this seller has but thats about it. Not a penny more. And even then it would just fill up space in my home that I could use for other records. So like I said, I'm not bidding on this at all.
