Why would anyone pay for information which is freely available on an internet forum such as ours?

No one would, and it seems obvious to me from the outrageous sum that the seller really doesn't expect them to either. I looked at the seller's sales history and saw that he has sold some phonograph-related stuff in the past. He is probably a legitimate collector and might be annoyed that some first time buyers would be fooled by the purveyors of crap. His altruistic eBay listing does a public service by showing some clues to look for. Kudos to him!

These Crapophone alert postings are popping up all of a sudden in response to this most recent sale on eBay:

The reasoning is that since these people don't know how to do research the information is being delivered right to them when they search on eBay.
