(Enter US $3,000,000.00 or more)

$10 back with eBay MasterCard

That made me laugh a little bit.

$10 back with a new eBay MasterCard


cut and paste it too, that's hysterical.....

i can't imagine what it would cost just to manage the inventory once you won the auction...

well the thing is, he's asking someone to donate it as a tax write off if they win. like why do you want to spend 3mil to turn around and donate it for a tax write off, why doesn't he just do it himself if that's his wish? it just looks like he wants the cash and doesn't want to bother with the work to turn it into a write off, seems silly to me

I mean I don't doubt that it's worth way more - I mean the owner obviously knows his stuff. but they say in the auction that they've had offers for x y and z, but all the sudden now they're listing it as a no reserve bid. my best assumption is that he's gotten himself into a rough pickle or he's gone broke for some inexplicable reason and now he's desperate and fucked. if he wasn't, he could easily have made it a reserve auction and relisted it with a reserve at close to "what it's worth"

I just can't reasonably see why anyone would post such an insane collection for 47mil less than what it's worth and just let it go.

....Download music, burn it, throw it on a CD?...If the album art is a big problem, then you can buy some cases and tape it inside. Enough said. Being such a fan of music myself I am astounded by this collection. Don't get me wrong that is a impressive collection although some questions arise, where are you going to keep it. Moisture will be a problem with Vinyl, believe me I know. Where to store all of this collection. Some of these questions and more arise, although whoever is buying this is probably loaded anyway, I just HOPE they take care of it as well.
