HELLO CLIFF; 
HERE'S MY 2 CENTS WORTH . WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT OLD BLUES RECORDS THAT ARE 
75 YEARS OLDER OR MORE , I BELIEVE , THERE IS NOTHING THAT IS N- , EXCEPT IN 
YOUR RECORD DREAMS. HOWEVER , $300 FOR THIS RARE RECORD IS NOT TOO MUCH. 

CHEERFULLY;
THE RECORD RANGER

Subject: [78-L] E*AY Seller Complaint - Bait & Switch on a $300 Record

Anybody here familiar with 2ndfiddlerecords (aka George Casalle) of Chicago?  
I'm wondering if I should
worry about dealing with this fellow.  I bought a Blind Lemon Jefferson record 
from him (auction #121039784517)
described as Grades N-,  Never Played,  Excellent, and so on.  I found out the 
photos in the auction are of a
record that sold on ebay in Sep, 2011.  The record I got was not the record in 
the pictures and had significant 

environmental damage to both sides in addition to significant label damage on 
both sides.  I did not examine it 

close enough to tell if it had ever been played.  Could be unplayed.
 
I paid an embarrassingly high price for this record, but the photos and 
description seemed a once in a lifetime
opportunity, so I bid on it.
 
Anyway, I sent him a note with these issues.  Haven't heard back from him yet.  
He has 100% positive feedback so
he must be doing something right, just not this time.  
 
Has anyone here had issue with this seller?  Please, someone, say something that 
will ease my anxiety.
 
Thanks!  CDB
