[QUOTE="LA_Geezer, post: 3007036, member: 89393"]I brokered large collections of rare phonograph records for several clients and listed them on eBay. As with coin collectors, there are record collectors who will pay handsomely for rare collectibles, I routinely sold vinyl albums for several thousands of dollars. It became necessary, though, to bar some people from bidding on our auctions because they were receiving our pristine, sometimes new and sealed old stock, then claiming we sold trash in resealed envelopes. One such customer in Singapore took us for $3000. As you wrote, eBay has no interest in protecting their sellers from such cheats, and it is precisely why I would not be interested in listing any of my own collectibles, be they coins or rare records. I have many records that could fetch several thousands myself. My spare coins are not worth the time or effort to list them. Most are just too average to bring me a profit. I would rather make trades here to someone who might be interested. As for photographic quality, I guess I just don't have the knack.
