Re: [ARSCLIST] Collection for sale

[Malcolm Rockwell <malcolm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Great story, Roger!
What? Did he expect for you to tell him what was rare so he could charge 
you "accordingly"?
I've been there, too. Hard to keep the eyebrows from raising with glee 
when one spots inexpensive rare records among the overpriced dross, 
though. Good thing most of these sellers can't read collectors!
Thanks!
