true.
false bids on auctions happen all the time to drive prices up. especially with "vintage" products.
records, clothes.... people i think are hoping for the best and also hold themselves way above anyone else, so their "product" is mor important or more valuable than others'.

Large amounts of money changing hands and for items that obviously are not worth it.Ebay is,for example,an easy way to launder money.Or to have false bids to drive up the price and many other ways to decieve the runnings of the auction.I only put links to recordlikedirt to show,that because of high prices,others are now jumping on the band wagon and all these ways are going to ruin it for everyone.There is much more suspicious goings on such as "TJBB"
I really wonder why we have been singled out for your comments as both bestones, Craig Moer and others are selling for same prices to same customers. The customer that you have referred to buys all kinds of albums and 7" from numerous dealers in numerous genres of music.
I would say prove your slander or take it off the sight.
We have been a honest source for reggae for over 25 years buying almost entirely in Jamaica. The records that we are selling are pristine never played records that are now over 30 years old. They actually have vinyl shavings around the whole and on the sides from no use.
I would say "judge not" or if you choose to be the judge then at least check fe de truth. We have no influence on any buyers or bidders all sales are just that sales on ebay. Anyone has the right to ask any price they choose whether you think it is fair, reasonable, or just plain crazy.
You seem to have an intolerant, negative tone -big up choose the higher meditation. make peace not war. Respect, crucialriddims-recordlikedirt
If you read the section you quoted,then you would know that you where not singled out.The link to you was to show the ridiculous prices others are now trying to get because of pure greed,which has escalated and not gradually.???????

This isn't about reggae music so I am moving it to off topic.

Of course its about reggae music,every link has to do with reggae and its price etc.Some people comment on other things but the topic is purely about reggae vinyl and the sellers.Have you just read the odd comment or have you looked through them all ???????

Sorry Norseman. Maybe I pulled the trigger too early. Yes, I've read every post, I've followed it in detail since the start.
I moved it simply because it was turning into a bit of a battle, rather than a reggae topic.
So excuse me if my motives were misunderstood.
