Any new ebay codes?

All these things you are saying are accurate, but the risk can be greatly reduced, if not nearly eliminated altogether, by reading reviews on sites like Discogs and the aforementioned Steve Hoffman forums. Sometimes VC has the answers that I need, but, other times, Hoffman has a fifty three page thread on what is the best pressing of Steely Dan's Can't Buy a Thrill.

Final Fantasy: Distant Worlds vinyl back in stock at Amazon for $35 shipped:

FYI if anyone got their orders cancelled it is probably because the esteemed RareLimiteds swooped up 11 copies to resell on ebay.

I don’t think they’re ever gonna get it. I successfully ordered one and they cancelled it.
My record just arrived today; try again next time it is up!

Demon Days repress incoming? Or did amazon just goof?
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00094ASR2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It lists this as a 1xLP; I don't think there is any way the whole album fits on 1xLP at anything near a fidelity that you want. Probably a listing mistake for the CD.

These are up on US Amazon. They're pretty pricey. Has anyone in the States ordered from elsewhere for cheaper?
A Grand Don't Come For Free (Currently OOS)
Yes, in my OG post:
Shipping is 10€ so it ends up being USD $58.71 for both albums shipped, or USD $56.14 if you have a credit card that you can bill in euros and not get charged a fee for.
I will couch that by saying however that I don't believe there is any way that these albums stay those insane prices on Amazon US.

Update: I won the paypal appeal and got the $$ back. Big thanks to @thievedrelic for the advice on checking the weight since I'm pretty sure that evidence tipped the scales in my favor.
Here's the buyer's info for anyone who wants to make sure they avoid him. I'll be posting in the bad buyers thread too.

Awesome, glad it worked out!

Just got an email from Bull Moose saying the price was a mistake and that it's actually 20 bucks.
Amazon listing is gone now, too, but I bet Amazon will honor their price mistake. Is Bullmoose trying to charge you again? I generally love them, but that is not a classy move for $6.

Sounds like this is probably a B-sides comp from Temple of I & I.

A few excessively expensive bundles with a color variant. I assume the black vinyl will probably be available from standard retailers, but probably not the bundles.

Banquet are generally good at RSD leftovers w/international shipping: https://www.banquetrecords.com/daughter/music-from-before-the-storm/4AD0038LP I'm still not sure where I am and if I can attend this year, else will pick up an extra for you.
Isn't it a rule for RSD that shops can only sell 1 copy of each album to the same buyer? Maybe my shop is just....uptight.

From the source
I Returned him his item. Seller sold me an item in NM/NM conditions and when it arrived the cover had seam split damage. The vinyl was outside the cover upon arrival so this was no question pre-existing damage. When confronting him about the issue he called me a liar and told me to bad, no refunds. I had to jump through every leangthy hoop in order to return him his not as described item where He continued to call me a scam artist to the admins. Now he’s claiming I sent him an empty box and that he’s going to prosecute me. Contacting everybody he can to smear me and cause trouble. Your obviously his friend or something so I’m sure your judgment is biased. Fair enough, but I’m not gonna let this BS and his harassment continue. Funny how it’s always the perpetrator who makes the most noise.Did you email this guy or what? Honestly let's not turn this thread into a pitchforks and torches thing. VCers only getting one side of a story and then harassing people is not a good look. I agree from his feedback and OP's story, it is believable that he is a jerk/in the wrong, but we don't know for sure what's true and what is not.

This isn't true at all. The buyer pays any conversion fees ( I just bought from Gunner Records yesterday and had to pay an extra 3% to paypal - this is always on the buyer as you get charged an international fee with a credit card too).
Look at your Paypal contract. You do get charged more for international orders. Buyers do not mitigate this.
Sales within the US 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction International sales 4.4% transaction fee plus a fixed fee based on currency received 1 minute ago, shenanigans said:While USPS first class international is certainly not inexpensive - most countries do give delivery confirmation now if you pay online and print a label. This is all paypal requires. For the most part in my experience and chatting with people who run labels/distros - people won't mess with your package if it has a barcode because it's been tracked to their location (whether they show you that or not) and it's easier for them to get caught. And again the expensive shipping is on the buyer as well...
If you read my post I acknowledge that some countries do supply a delivery confirmation. Some also don't. I have gotten screwed by the latter, maybe you haven't. I've also had people "reject" deliveries, and then had no proof that they ever reentered the postal system (because they didn't). I never received those records back. Exercise caution with int'l buyers that do not have good reputations.

This is a terrible scam, and I feel sorry for the seller.
Regarding the comment about selling outside of the US, what is the relevance here? Maybe I missed it, but is there a policy within Paypal, that treats domestic vs international differently?
Thanks
I don't think there is a policy difference persay, but as a seller things become more convoluted when you deal internationally. First off, int'l Paypal fees are higher, so you're technically losing money from the get-go. But the real killer is international tracking. There are not really inexpensive ways to ship international and have anything resembling a reliable tracking system. Sure, Priority Mail will track you package when it is in the US, but beyond that it's really only delivery confirmation, if that. International postal systems do not work well together. At least when things are within the US, you have a reliable point-to-point tracking number that tells the whole story. Once a package enters or exits, say, Brazil, your ability to "prove" anything via shipment data basically goes out the door.

Not a ton of negative reviews, but the ones that are negative sound scathing and very similar to what happened to you. Pretty sketchy indeed.
