Re: [Phono-L] HI ALL
IF you haven't seen it, Scott's back on-line http://www.spike.com/shows/auction-hunters/episode-guide Sink or Swim Season 2 Epi 3 - #203 Aired 4/12 So according to the below note it should be available after 5/12 ... ? Availability Notes Each full episode of Auction Hunters is posted on Spike.com three days after its premiere. After one full week of availability they are taken down, and posted again 30 days after the original premiere for you to watch indefinitely. Scott and Denise Corbett wrote: Yes, the name of the show is Auction Hunters. They buy storage units and sell the contents to make a profit. They bring stuff to 'Experts' in a Antique Road Show fashion and instead of finding out what it's worth, they find people who will buy it. They were at the house for 4 hours to use a eight minute clip. We have been on TV many times over the years. It doesn't pay and we see little in increased business. We do it to promote the hobby. Any chance we get to expose phonographs to a national audience, we take it. We also were filmed for another new show recently which stars Ty Pennington of Extreme Home Makeover. It may air this summer. I kind of doubt the show will fly. They blew off some real antiques and got excited over a kids Dodgers bobble head collection that dated way back to 2006! My wife and I have done school assemblies as well. I believe that we all must do what we can to expose phonographs to a younger generation if we are to keep this hobby alive in years to come. If anyone wants to see The old man (me) on the show, you can view it online. Google AUCTION HUNTERS and I think it is Season 3 episode 2 (or is it season 2, episode 3?) The show also featured a second storage unit with a small speed boat if that helps. If you have cable (we don't) it airs often on the SPIKE channel. As a side note, I purchased some phonographs from a guy a few years ago who bought storage units like the show and he said the strangest thing he ever found were two dead bodies that were in a box that was sealed in layers of heavy plastic tarps. Some Asian guy killed these people and forgot to pay for his unit. The killer left the country and might have gotten away with it, but he sent a check to the storage unit people from the country he was in. The local police arrested him and he was soon executed. I think I'll stick to phonographs. -Scott Denise -Original Message- From:phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org [mailto:phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org] On Behalf ofzonophone2...@aol.com Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2011 11:58 AM To:phono-l@oldcrank.org Subject: Re: [Phono-L] HI ALL hi you are so right this list is great but we don't need to get caught up in things that are not as important as the great facts we share with each other on our great hobby ...AND WE DO SHOUT IT OUT WHEN ONE OF YOUR COMPATRIOTS MAKES IT TO A TV SHOW.. scott are you here tell everyone about your experience with the show. i forget the name of the show but its the one that buys units. i believe its auction hunters. regards to all zono -Original Message- From: David Dazerdda...@sbcglobal.net To: Antique Phonograph Listphono-l@oldcrank.org Sent: Tue, May 3, 2011 1:13 pm Subject: Re: [Phono-L] HI ALL Hi Zono, I am glad to see that you have such a good sense of humor about this!

Re: [Phono-L] You gotta love this... Museum Quality Black Patti Record
This guy is not only a joke, but something very strange is going on with his eBay account. I checked his feedback - back to January of this year and found a very peculiar situation. One buyer named lgirmscher has supposedly bought and left positive feedback for 79 records since January 13 and paid anywhere from $24.99 - $83.52 each. The peculiar part of this is that lgirmscher had a rating of (209) purchases on Jan. 13 and on May 13 after buying at least 79 items, his rating is still (209)... what's up with that? There are other multiple purchasers, but this one stands out as odd. I can't imagine buying any records at his prices, but someone bought one for $750 - left negative feedback, claiming the record was a repro and eBay backed this seller.

The feedback number isn't strange if he did indeed buy only from this gentleman. You can but 5000 items, if they're all from the same buyer/seller it counts your feedback score as one. However, not buying or selling anything to or from anyone else in that time period IS very very suspicious. I would also think that if someone is going to try and move an item for four or five figures they could have some better pictures, at least a description of the particular item, and some sort of grading. I mean even I could scan some photos of labels out of a book and go on eBay claiming to sell rare records.
