Dear eBay friends and customers:

Have you been on your best behavior lately? You didn’t whimper, pout, crash White House state dinners, invest in Goldman-Sachs, read New York Times and such?  Alright, then! Because you have been certifiably good this year, Santa is going to bring you a lot of rare and collectible vinyl for Christmas (and Hanukah, and Kwanza, and the Lunar New Year and…and…)

We invite you to visit our FIFTH eBay mega-auction of rare and collectible vinyl this year (this particular lot was initially planned for early 2010, but we had to reschedule it for personal reasons).  If everything goes as planned, our super-hyper-mega-large auction  will commence on Wednesday, December 16,  2009.  This is going to be our second biggest eBay auction of 2009, dwarfed only by our March 2009 giga-auction. And we promise you: this is going to be an EXTREMELY strong lot: you DEFINITELY don’t want to miss this one!

More than 1,000 items will be listed in the space of 2 days  - Wednesday and Thursday (December 16/17) All items will start (and end ten days later) in one-minute intervals. About 500 items will start on the first day (December 16,2009), and the remaining items will start on the second day (December 17, 2009)

We will have a ton of quality vinyl of all sorts, formats and genres: from moderately rare, to very rare, to brutally rare, to criminally rare, to insanely rare, to once-in-a-lifetime finds, every shape and shade of rare and collectible vinyl will be covered

Among the highlights:

-        Almost 250 still sealed original albums (we kid you not! -- almost a quarter of the entire lot) .

-        The fantastically rare original PICTURE SLEEVES by Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, and Elvis Presley

Because this auction lot is so huge and covers so much ground, we recommend that you hit the ground running: the 11-day event (which will end on December 27, 2009) will probably end sooner than you can even peruse all listed items!! Just to give you an idea of the lot’s size: we have included MORE THAN 5,000 PHOTOS ALTOGETHER. If you decide to check each and every photo (we hope you are not that crazy!), you have only about 10 minutes per auction. So, run, run, run…and run fast as you can)
