I was interested in knowing if anyone knows or has purchased from this seller his username is crankster1

I bought this cylinder last night and then I see he has two more of the same cylinder listed for 6 more days should avoid paying for this cylinder?

his feedback looks good..

It's just that the same picture was used for all 3 cylinders of the same kind Dr J. Mr H.


It's just odd that someone would have 3 of them?

If he started collecting back in 1975, he might have acquired previously unsold store inventory, in which case he may own multiples.

If it worries you, write him through the eBay message system before you pay.

You are correct, this is the same picture for the 3 Dr. Jekyll listings. The seller may have made a mistake and you should definitely write to make sure you get the record you bid on.

'If' he has copies, ask for the nicest example.

Last night I asked via ebay message if he had multiple copies of this record after I realized he post more of them after the close of the auction put he has yet to reply.


I will keep you informed

Just sent 2nd message reads as follows:

I bought this record Last Night I thought and I am waiting on a response to a message I sent after the auction. I realized there is more than 1 copy you have for sale is this true or is it a mistake. Would like clarification on this matter so I feel safe to pay for my cylinder.

So just heard back from the seller as follows:


New message from: crankster1 (143Turquoise Star)
Hi Kevan, Yes you bought cylinder #8879 and I mistakenly listed it a second time and have removed that listing. In my remaining records to sell, it's possible I may have another copy to sell, and if so it will be listed sometime later. Thank you for your bid and please check my future auctions. Your total for this auction will be $77 + $5 shipping = $82.00 through PayPal. Good luck next time, Ron


The shipping is off I'm in Canada but I'm going to pay for it and see what happens I don't want any neg feedback

He can't neg you as you're the buyer. If you pay with PayPal you can always get you money back if you are sent the wrong item.
