If anyone wants to point any collections located on the Gulf Coast that are only being dealt locally in my direction I wouldn’t hate you for it. I finally got my first Blue Note at a garage sale, after about a decade of collecting records and garage sailing. It was super collectible (Grant Green-Alive) but still a good rush.

@Mark, not sure but it could be because the post office that used to be right next door to them closed. They also seem to be very busy in store the last few times I’ve been there.

According to one of the owners they were having too much trouble with fraud. People claiming packages never arrived or that records were in worse condition than advertised. They haven’t had anything of note in more than 6 months.

Why did Atomic stop posting on eBay?

Is it just me or is there a bit of a lull on ebay? Perhaps people have followed Atomic’s lead and stopped posting items online?

Answers: OK, when I get a chance I’ll tell the story in more detail. My son directed the musical She Loves Me. I have thought about “subcontracting” and I’ve done it on occasion. I’ve also passed on tips about collections that either weren’t of interest to me or were out of my geographic location. In this case, however, there were a couple of very high bids already in for the collection and the woman was in a hurry to close the sale. I was there to either buy the collection or offer advice and, since the price was already out of my range, I wound up just offering my advice, which was basically that she wasn’t getting ripped off, which she wasn’t.

Al, have you ever thought about “subcontracting” the eBay selling of a collection to a JC reader or friend, paying a “commission” from the proceeds, to have someone else do the heavy lifting of getting the LPs into postings, and following the auctions through shipment to the buyer(s)? Just a thought.

Al – please tell us more about the collection you turned down (if you can, obviously). I like those stories.
