afireinside7444 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Anyone have any experience with them? I asked about buying some thrice, Death Cab ect. Very vauge and intermittent (1-3 days between vauge emails) replies such as "how much do I have to work with" and "they go for 100.00 ea whats your offer" Ect So I gave him recent ebay values for the opened vinyl and no replies..... Just a collector trying to get too much? Thoughts? experences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktdlmnop Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I remember seeing that site a while ago.. didn't buy anything because it seemed a bit sketchy, but that's just my impression and not based on any interaction with the owner. That probably doesn't help much, but it's my two cents and, if nothing else, a free bump haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I've never been able to work out anything on his site, but i have bought from him on eBay and he was fantastic there. I think his wife flaked on a bunch of trades or something. So yeah my advice would be to NOT buy from the site. http://myworld.ebay.com/huckys/ there is the eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenanigans Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I've had experience with him both on ebay and his website. Through the website I had the same experience as you, a few days in between emails asking how much I was willing to spend. When I made him an offer I never heard back. I think hes just trying to rip some people off on some vinyl. Ebay I've bought a few things. I think there are actually a few different ebay names that say to check out the website so I'm not really sure whats up with that. I bought the bouncing souls 20th anniversary retail set from them for like $25 ppd. No problems there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mygreatdevastator Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Considering this is the first record that they have under the vinyl section: A Weasel Scream Diver Vinyl 7" Jumpstart 2006 1st Press # 1000 I don't think I would bother.

apeman Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 it's the guy from Dr Strange records isn't it? Sure about that? I did a lot of ordering with The Doc - no creepy correspondences, but then again, that was the mid to late 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know you gotta be pretty creepy when it even comes out in your emails. This dude is like "Van with no windows and full of candy by the grammer school" creepy. Stay away...........

suburbanargyle Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I thought it was Dr Strange at first too, but his is a similarly titled website that redirects to the Dr Strange site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrangerwithcandy Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I tried buying something from him and he pulled the same "well how much are you working with" thing. I responded and he replied as if he didn't know what I was talking about. So I sent an email catching him up on what was going on and he told me he def had the records I was looking for and asked that I shoot him a straight price. I made an offer and never heard from him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetJerryWine Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I've tried to buy things from his site several times, and every time he just stopped responding. The most recent time, I was actually trying to sell him something that was on his want list, and he responded saying something like "I don't think we have any of those in at the moment." I tried to clarify that I had one, and wanted to sell it to him, and he didn't answer at all. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weare138 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 i emailed him about buying some records, got a email from him a few days later that didn't give any info at all, replied to it asking again, and nothing since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrangerwithcandy Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 i emailed him about buying some records, got a email from him a few days later that didn't give any info at all, replied to it asking again, and nothing since At this point I'm almost certain he's set up the site to screw with people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fartcat Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I wonder how many suckers fall for his shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenanigans Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 i don't think he's going to screw anyone, but if you're unfortunate enough to offer him some ridiculous amount of money for a record I'm sure he'll be happy to take it and go find you the record.

initrecords Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I thought it was Dr Strange at first too, but his is a similarly titled website that redirects to the Dr Strange site. yeah www.rarepunk.com redirects to dr. strange records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punksville Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Just to confirm this creepy dude is nothing to do with Dr Strange who is 100 % reliable and been trading for over 15 years. Go to drstrangerecords.com and you'll see everything is genuine. I checked that rarepunkmusic.com a while back and the prices were a joke - probably offers peanuts for the wanted stuff too.
