So I'm a Misfits collector and in our community, we have a strange problems. Our colored Earth ADs have been changing color. 
 
Its only apparent rent in the green and yellow copies. Over the past few years, a lot of the pure yellow copies have been turning brown. I have a green copy that used to be pure apple green, but lately has been turning cloudy with yellow/brown smoke. I'd post pics, but I'm not at my PC now. 
 
Its not just my copy, but almost everyone's green and yellows are decaying. It's kind of sad because these go for $1500 to $2000. 
 
Some of these copies haven't seen daylight, so it's not UV radiation. Some have been stored in paper, so it's not a reaction to plastic sleeves.
 
So here's the question, do you have any 30 year old colored records in which the dyes have recently started to decay?

because they were taken years apart. when people took their original photos, they had no idea that the color would change and that they needed to take them in daylight 

That's a whole 'nother  issue.

Maybe they never actually looked at them in daylight? Then enough people got it in their heads that the records had looked different in the past and now others believe it via the power of suggestion. Classic Berenstain Bears situation. Mystery solved. End thread.

That same thing always happens to the apples I have at home...

Fastbreak is an appropriate name for this record.

Even though this took place years ago, I feel I owe it to new members to explain what happened.
 
A few years back, I did something foolish. I was trying to circumvent the reserve fee on eBay. So I started my auction at something small, and used my wife's account (who had almost no feedback next to some feedback I gave her so she could get sales for her clothing auctions) to bid up to the reserve price I wanted. Why such a stupid move? Because years of eBaying showed me that things sell better when listed lower, but also you run a risk of selling what usually runs for $100 at $1 (that happened to me!)
 
So some guys here figured it out and called me out. I canceled the auction, apologized to everyone, promised never to do it again, and read up on shill bidding which I didn't know was a thing, but is no excuse. It is against regulations and I'm grateful no one reported me.
 
The bidder was pissed and never forgave me, that's fine. What I did was dishonest, wrong, and stupid. I'm grateful I got to learn the lesson so early. 
 
Some people though use it for ad hominem fuel to put me down.

So you're complaining over nothing?
 
Come on, this thread is to out scammers, not to accuse people of being shady when nothing happened.

Did he start his message by saying "hello" and end it by saying "thank you" because, to me, putting "certain words" in quotations can make "anything" feel "more shady" than it might be. I would "move" on and not give it too much "thought".

How about some Stranger Than Fiction singles?
 

 
 

Take the record out, otherwise it will mess up the "art" over time. 
 
melt the record in the stove and make a cool clock.
