No, No Nautiluso: Buyer Opens Claim With eBay

A couple of readers have already pointed this out in various comments: The feedback is starting to come in on Nautiluso and it is not very promising. One buyer has issued two feedback reports, stating the same thing: “Records never delivered from Oct. 16 purchase . Have opened claim with eBay.” Both of these claims were for classical records, but the notes are ominous, as is the fact that so far there has been zero feedback from the huge jazz auction we were watching: Nothing at all. If you go back to our original report on this alleged Jazz Vinyl Collection, we had pinpointed about 75 records, in pristine condition, all among the rarest of the rare in the world of jazz collectibles: Jackie McLean on Ad-Lib, Tina Brooks True Blue, Hutta Hipp on Blue Note, and many, many more. We were somewhat skeptical and many visitors to Jazz Collector

were even more cynical than we were. Now it seems as if there were reasons for our concern. There’s no hard evidence yet, but the circumstantial evidence is starting to get overwhelming that there were no records to be purchased. I’m going to place a call to the media relations department at eBay and see what they have to say about it. I’ll keep you posted.
