This just makes me mad.
The guy is selling his record like this, and claims he is blind and in dept. All his other records are priced insanely high. I really doubt this is the worlds rarest record.

Thoughts?

Ho Hum. This is the second time this thing has been on ebay, that I'm aware of. Apparently the man isn't so desperate that he's willing to sell at a lower price.

I wonder where he got all the old Aussie labels from? Most of them are actually quite common over here.
He even has the hide to list cracked & repaired discs as museum quality
No wonder he says he wont grade them, & they should be displayed on the wall

Wow. I'm sure that's a
really stirring rendition of "blah."
But seriously, "blind and deaf" eBay man has been a running joke for a while.
If he was really in need, he'd let 'em all go to auction. Methinks someone ain't too serious. Plus, can you imagine the fees on a sale like that?
Wow... that "world's rarest record" website is just amazing. I find records that aren't listed in the books on an almost weekly basis. When finding such an item, the first question to be asked is, "Does anybody care?"
Some times the answer is yes, but many times the answer is no.
