"Introducing The Beatles" on Vee Jay

Is this guy for real? No feedback and picture, makes you wonder!

Introducing the Beatles

 

There's probably ten copies here in Nashville for less than $10 each. Most are in decent if not excellent shape.

What a schmuck!

 

Well, he only has to get one schmuck to fall for it, I guess...

 

Has to be a joke. I remember seeing that album at a damn variety store in the late 70's!!!!

That #24 White Album only went for $10,000US!!!!!

Oofah!!!

 

I can't believe that one!!! Need I say buyer beware!!

 

I have an old toaster that Good Housekeeping says used to brown toast quite nicely. As a special deal to Forum members, you can have it for only $499...

 

That Good Housekeeping article caused a lot of consternation in record collecting circles.

First, some background:

For a long time, the top record dealers and collectors assumed that in 100 percent of the cases where a copy of Introducing the Beatles --
A. had the titles on the back cover;
B. had a "Stereophonic" banner across the top front; and
C. contained "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You" --
you had a counterfeit copy that was readily available in bargain bins for $5 or less.

Then, one legitimate copy showed up, and a Beatles collector/dealer paid the equivalent of $25,000 in trade for it. Since that time, another dozen or so legitimate copies have appeared, so the price has plummeted to a mere $8,000 or so.

The problem, of course, is all those counterfeits. I used to get calls all the time about Introducing the Beatles, but now that almost every book I put out that contains Beatles LPs has an explanation of how to tell the real thing from a fake, the calls have dropped off. Even so, there are still idiots out there. Do some of these people think "eBay" is an acronym for "Every Buyer A Yahoo"?

 

I think bug's bunny said it best: "what a maroon"

 

Gee no bids yet???

Norm must be waiting to SNIPE it at the last second!!!
