Re: [Phono-L] You gotta love this... Museum Quality Black Patti Record
I dealt with this seller some time ago. His name is Frederick Tussey. Perhaps the Richard comes from the fact that his full name is Frederick R. Tussey - or it's just a coincidence on the last name. But the coincidence of the poor eyesight statement from Mike would lead me to believe it's the same person. Anyway, in my dealings with him 4 years ago it was pleasant as we traded some things after I made a purchase. I've been told he's legally blind so grading is somewhat of a mystery and perhaps why he chooses the route he does now. Not defending it, just making a statement. I find it difficult to buy something ungraded. Interestingly, at the time he was saying he had plans to do a book on record sleeves and that's what he traded for. This guy has generated a lot of banter on 78-l as well. Who knows what's lead him to his current state - perhaps fallen on hard times - but it's his choice to try and sell records at high prices. Some will bite, many won't. It would be in his best interest, though, if he worked to keep his customers happy. The seller that called the record a repro is a knowledgeable collector. Too bad he didn't work it out with his customer.

Re: [Phono-L] You gotta love this... Museum Quality Black Patti Record
glen i agree with you i have bought two rare records from him and totally satisfied i did make an offer that was a lot less than his ebay price but still a fair price considering the rarity of the two i did buy i have no complaints but do agree his records for the most part are not museum quality but like anything on ebay you do it with cavet emptor zono In a message dated 5/18/2011 11:42:26 A.M.

Re: [Phono-L] You gotta love this... Museum Quality Black Patti Record
He may just be crazy not know what these things are worth.. Most of his sales were $25 dollar Champion/Gennett Country and Western records and if you are looking for a particular title or record 25 bucks is not that much to pop for. How he came up with 12,500 for that Victor Sousa record I just can't imagine… On May 16, 2011, at 11:27 PM, Don Dellmann wrote: - Original Message - From: Vinyl Visions vinyl.visi...@live.com To: phono-l@oldcrank.org Sent: Monday, May 16, 2011 10:13 PM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] You gotta love this...

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.

He describes the record as I CAN GURANTEE THERE MUSEUM QUALITY AS BEING THE RAREST AND NOT SOLD ALL MESSED UP . There is no grading either. So to protect himself this record is museum quality only in the sense of being rare not necessarily museum quality as being a grade E+ record. What he means by not sold as all messed up could mean a lot of things. -Original Message- From: Zonophone2006 zonophone2...@aol.com To: phono-l phono-l@oldcrank.org Sent: Tue, May 17, 2011 5:34 am Subject: 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.
