I love the thrill of victory but would also enjoy some agony of defeat stories as well. Anyone game?

the best, by far, was a lot of 3 10” LPs, two of which were valuable jazz records and one was a bizarre collectible to car enthusiasts for some reason, which i sold. the whole thing cost 11.50. Nice.

But as a collector you can imagine how many bad buys / or bad luck i had for one (or two) great finds ! 🙂

(just kidding Michel)

Found my NM copy at “Buy It Now : 9.99” at the glorious Ebay beginnings, when nobody knew exactly what was on the garage. 🙂

How long will it be before we have the $5,000 + bin ?
