Yes, that is correct. But a return because, say, the buyer changed their mind, is not something sellers are required to accept, and often the word ‘return’ includes that. we agree.

Gregory, yes you have described ebay’s policy. To summarize: Ebay distinguishes between a return for an item not as described versus a return for a buyer’s change of mind. What I am referring to is this scenario: A seller may say that he doesn’t accept returns, but it is ebay’s policy that he must accept the return if the buyer is of the opinion that the seller overgraded or otherwise misrepresented the item. I believe that this is the scenario that Mark is referring to.

Paul: not true. a return is distinct from an item not being as described. in the first case, a return is just an ‘i no longer want it’ situation. you do not have to accept returns. but if an item is not as described, you are required to deal with it, which usually involves the item being sent back to you.

I sold my copy of the Jack Sheldon 10” on eBay some 6 months ago for $99.99. Was quite happy someone used buy it now at that price.
Nice lp; liked the cover more.
And re JRM blues auction, remember decades ago seeing all those kind of lps at Bob Koester’s Jazz Record Mart at it’s 7 West Grand location. Was never a blues guy so I passed them all by.

All ebay sellers are required to accept returns. They have no choice in the matter.

I’ve been wishing someone would start a similar site but for blues records (I would, but my writing/proof reading skill are atrocious). There isn’t the same kind of community around blues collecting either (my current theory is that the blues collecting community is much smaller than that of jazz and perhaps skews even older).

Anyway, if anyone wants to sell their blues albums let me know.

As far as the Hopkins is concerned it’s nice, but there are better records listed by JRC I’m interested in.

I’ve had a solid VG/VG+ copy of that Hopkins for sale for a little while, and I think 100, even for a perfect copy, is a bit much, though I am admittedly not really a straight blues guy. The few people that have looked at it physically at shows have all mentioned that they believe people want that record almost purely for the cover. Interesting, because, again, not being a straight-ahead blues guy, I find that record to be fairly enjoyable.
