I know that a lot of record stores or dealers follow me so I hope this post gets read by all of you. In this business there is an element of trust between buyer and seller. When i go to a large collection now, I explain that I can pay a good portion upfront and will pay the rest when I can price everything out and it’s beneficial to them as they will be paid more Anyways sometimes people reach out and want to sell a collection but they have to ship it to me as they live very far away. Usually i will send a deposit to show I am interested and when they ship it, I will send more funds then will pay the rest once I am done pricing it out. Well I got burned by the scam going around (as I learned by calling a couple of pals in the business ). I am out a little bit but this post is more a precaution to be aware of this scam. The person takes a video or pics that they find online, then they sent them to another store and come up with a story and ask for a deposit then more money afterwards . I felt I was being duped shortly after I sent the funds. Oh well, Mr “Shawn Redmond”, you got me ! Hope you and Georgette Dryden enjoy my donation to the Human Scum fund!
