Hmm, almost 14,000 CDs listed. Almost 3% of his feedbacks are negative or neutral. (And $3.95 shipping for first CD!)

The seller has almost 78, 460 feedbacks- that's a huge amount. With that volume of sales, it's not unusual to have some customer problems. Howver, if 3% of the feedback is negative or neutral, that amounts to 2,353 folks who weren't exactly thrilled by the transaction. Looked at that way, it's kind of scary.

How do they accumulate so many items? They must have an army out there picking at every garage sale, flea market, etc within 100 miles. I don't know how many of their sales end up being over, let's say, $5.00 (a reasonable sale price level), but do they make money on CDs that sell for $.08? No wonder the shipping charge is relatively so high- that's their "sales insurance."

Good question. I had a feeling that Marie's gets a lot of promo CDs. Her business is near Los Angeles, isn't it?

I bought a couple of discs from this guy recently. It took almost two weeks for them to arrive (and I'm in the same state as the seller). I won't give the guy positive feedback for that kind of service after I pay $3.95 for S&H.
