Medjuck, the link doesn't work, and it happens I have just three million $ spare, so may you please provide the correct link.

I like the part where you can get $10 back with an eBay MasterCard. Now that's savings!

that is funny.....

I don't know about you, but my credit limit is nowhere near $3 million.

Nor the $2,999,990, if you figure in the $10 cash back.

Looks like he picked the wrong week to try to sell a multi-million dollar music collection.

I would think that if you had a spare 3 million to blow on records, you would have the luxury to go online and pick and choose the titles you wanted. He'd do better to break it into genres and formats.

Just edited it. Works now I think.

[Stefan Wood]

He declined an offer of $28 million some years ago? But is now willing to part with it for 3?????

When I lived in Pittsburgh in my college years, or visiting old school chums years afterward, I had always wanted to visit the store. But it was always closed.

Nope, but don't worry too much, I am really not craving for being a homeless with a lot of records.

the jackets actually make very good insulation -

it's funny if you read the ebay blurb; Robert Klein used to have a routine, making fun of those late-night tv recording offers:

"and now:

"EVERY RECORD EVER RECORDED - LITHUAINIAN LANGUAGE RECORDS 'ESU-YES ESU-YES'....

Do you think he has the complete set of "Merry Christmas from Firestone Tires?"

An used copy of the NYT will work as well, and it's cheaper.

I'm just about to pull the trigger, but I'm hung up on the S&H. I guess that might explain the difference between the $3 million he's asking now and the $28 million he was offered nine years ago.

On second thought, I think I'll pass.

Up over and out.

That would be cool.

'Applause' label covers make a good bivouac..
