Dan 98% in, but not settled or unpacked. Wow what a huge task. If there is something I have you want please don't hesitate to speak up as I am sure that we can work out something re future payment. I need $$$$ to make it easier but could work something else out to help out a friend. Would rather see things go to local friends than some one back east for sure. I am just trying to keep up with the Nor oregon folks(Melvin, Stanford's). You sure got a great place, but your other one was not to shabby either, was probably hard to leave it. Appreciated the tour. Thanks and let me know if i can help. regards brice

Message-ID: <[email protected]> Hi Al, I appreciated your post because I never thought of that. I don't know much about the Gem, but I would guess the only way to tell for sure would be to see if the serial number on the ID plate was the same as the one under the ID plate. When I restored my Triumph E the serial number under the ID plate stamped into the bedplate was the same as the one on the ID plate. Also I have never seen a reproduction decal that was like exactly an original except for the Edison that Dave Jolley made for the front of Edison cylinder players.

The record has a red stamp applied by hand accross both sides of the label that says NOT TO BE SOLD and then below that the number 9132. It's the same stamp on both sides. I talked with a couple of Oregon collectors I saw over the weekend and we speculated it might be a store sample, a returned record and I even thought perhaps it was a mis-labled record. I played it and it is the correct songs on both sides. Has anyone seen this before? Any idea what is is?

First, "shipping" is not the same as "postage'. There is the cost of packing materials. (Have you folks priced packing tape and bubble wrap lately?) There are the matter of timing. A dealer might charge the postage ad then hold a bunch of packages before going to the PO. Have you been to the POs lately? I know I can wait 20 minutes in line once I get there to mail a package and sometimes I only have one but I try to mail same day. Of course you wouldn't know which sellers do that if it's your first purchase. And if we are talking excessive, how about "buyers premiums" at auctions. They charge the seller maybe 25% and the Buyer 20%. For what? Their "overhead". When I buy on ebay at auction (or fixed price) I consider the cost to my door. If the cost delivered is fine, I'm happy. And when I bid, I decide the total cost, deduct whatever the shipping charge is (I ALWAYS ask if it's not there), and that's my top bid. You do that at live auctions, why not on ebay. And saying "I'll never buy from someone with a shipping charge I consider excessive" is cutting off yourself from something you might get at a low price. Believe me, the word "excessive" should also be reserved for Ebay seller fees which keep going up. Well that's my take on it as both a buyer and seller. Steve
