Is this seller one of us?

I found an auction for a Japanese first pressing RCA CD of David Bowie Station to Station. The seller says the following:

Is this seller one of us? He sure talks like one of us. Here's a link to the auction:

Doesn't ring any bells.

 

I haven't heard of him before.........

 

A lurker, perhaps?

 

Yeah, I noticed this one as well and thought "must be a lurker or a quiet member".

Good eyes Keith. You aren't going to bid on this one too, are you?

 

Dave, no, I am not going to bid. Have at it. I haven't been going after the RCA Bowies on eBay. I have a decent stash right now, and the Japanese pressings always seem to be around. Don't get me wrong, though. They're great discs.

 

Hi,

Well, dunno if the seller is one of us BUT the first bidder is!

Happy Friday,
Jeffrey

 

Hmmm, so it comes down to the "big guy" and me huh? Grrrrrr.

 

Betcha Steve is the seller....

 

I think some eBayers will search Google for the title and find our site.

However, I did find "Hoffman DCC" written in white font against a white background the other day. I think it was for an MFSL or Sony gold disc.

 

Wow, I said "our site." Weird... I guess I'm really attached to this place.

 

Hi Dave,

If ya want it,[removed - HZ] send the original to you! Geez.... it's the least i could do for all the GREAT things ya have done for me over the years!

No need in biddin' against ourselves, brother,
Jeffrey

 

Wow! I'm both humbled and surprised by your generous offer and graciously accept even though I would never intentionally bid against a friend and fellow member.

Thanks Jeffrey!

 

One thing about watching each others back in auctions. If member A and B both want an item, and A is willing to bid $50, and B is only willing to bid $30, and A agrees to not bid to let B get it, there might be a sniper or another bidder who will end up winning it at $32, $40 or $45.

As a result, the winner could have been member A, but he did not bid, and member B got outbid - end result: Neither member gets the CD.

I don't know the seller but he sure has a cool handle.
That's from a song by The Band with Van Morrison right?
