Nautiluso Where Art Thou? No News, No Feedback
It’s been more than a month since the now-famous — or perhaps infamous — auction from the seller Nautiluso. I use the words famous and infamous quite loosely, of course, but it was certainly a major topic here in our limited world of Jazz Collector. Anyway, there is no feedback yet from this auction. None, zero, nil. I reached out this morning to someone who knows someone who knows someone who won a record and the record has not yet arrived. Hmmmm. I know many of you were suspicious in the first place and I’m sure this information does nothing to dispel the whiff of fraud you perhaps had scented in the air. If anyone in our audience has first-hand knowledge of anything — a record that arrived, or a record that clearly didn’t arrive — please let us know. At some point, if there’s no information forthcoming, we will contact eBay directly and see what they may have to say about it. For those of you new to the site and unaware of this auction, just type “Nautiluso” in the search bar at the top right of the page and you’ll be able to see all of the articles and comments dating back to our first post on the topic from October 5.
Funny you should write about this Al. Just this morning I was wondering what became of that auction and also noticed that there has been no feedback related to any record sold therein. The one related feedback was a guy who complained that the seller was reluctant to accept paypal. Should be interesting how it plays out. I am once bitten twice shy with these foreign sellers who suddenly list a collection containing some of the most collectible jazz titles all at one time.
Great collection – One nice win :

Duonri,does that “one nice win” mean that you were the winning bidder? Because,as you know,a ‘nice win’ is only good if it’s as described,delivered intact in a timely fashion,and without blemish. (Like a good pizza!?)
Good morning,
I’m one of the bidder that didn’t receive his lps yet.
Interesting to know that the package sent by Nautilus with a tracking number was refused by the customs and sent back to Brazil. As we speak, I sent several emails to Thomas( Nautilus)to find out if he received the package back .
As of today, he didnt acknowledge that he received the package back yet.
Another interesting point is that Nautilus doent have any other records to sell .
I already filed a report to Ebay and I will pursue the investigation with Paypal in the next few days.
Finally, I got in touch with one another buyer who didnt receive his lp either..
I still hope that I will receive my lps..Naive..will see ! CEEDEE is right…A nice win is only goog if its as described,deliveres intact in a timely fashion and without blemish.
Thanks to giving us a window to express our opinion
and share our experience.
Sorry ( or maybe lucky me ), it’s not me. I was looking at the “JM on ADLIB” LP hoping it will find a new home.
Now seriously, since eBay do not provide “completed items” by “seller” after a couple of weeks, I’ve sent this link in case someone is looking for items of that collection.
At the risk of being traated of arrogant and “know it all”, i would never have bidded on this “too good to be true auction”.If i’m financially able to spend 3000 or 4000 $ for an LP, i certainly can spend them buying from a reliable, well established seller, with 100 % confidence. There are plenty on Ebay and everywhere else, and they sell the same “big stuff” mr nautiluso auctioned every week. But it seems like in the jazz collector world, more money than brain has become the ususal behaviour…
1st feedback: A positive feedback for one of the classical LPs. I hope we’ll see more soon…
