This one seems a bit off to me.

For starters, why would anyone take all the
cylinders out of their boxes and pile them up?

Does this add sound weird to you all?
Look at some of the titles.

This picture must have been taken with a cameraphone It is horrible, however you can see that the boxes piled up have cylinders in them the others just do not have boxes.

Anybody from here grab "Let us not Forget" yet?

I would have, but was afraid something seems
a bit "off" about this listing. Perhaps even
a belated April Fools joke.

Wrote seller a few emails and never received
a coherent response, so I passed.

At least you got a response. I think I sent a couple emails and no response at all.

Well just for the record, here's what I got back:

My first email was just me stating interest
in a few of the titles especially "Let us not forget".
I asked the seller that since these records are stated
to all play, I asked what machine was used to listen to
them to make this determination.

The response I got back was: "They are blue 4 min. records"

After that I responded: "Thank you, yes, yes, I know
they are blue 4 minute records but if this add is
genuine and you really know that they all play, then
please tell me what kind of a cylinder machine it was
that you used, to listen to them. Now, what machine
was that?"

No further response after that. None. Nadda.

As of today, 4/15/14, this listing says it was deleted.
I wonder if anyone got any records or got ripped off?
