Travis, time to put up some albums?

This zosod guy appears to be the mayor of rip-offville, a couple of cool, rare items though. If I was half rich I might buy some.

Great price for ISOT and Monolith

what a dink  

Surely Travis would be able to identify who he is via his sales history at TDRS and could simply stop selling to him? At least more than a certain quantity per release, say limit him to two purchases per item?

I\'m guessing he orders one cd at a time as needed when people purchase from him, I doubt he stocks them. Looking at his history, he sells very few cds from trds, maybe 2-3 a month. If the buyers checked other sources and did research they would find out he is overpriced.

It wouldn\'t be hard for any seller to advertise on ebay they\'re selling Shadows Between the Sky, and when someone buys a copy just place an order here with the ebay customers address. no stocking, no shipping - just a middle man.

But then, when they get it in the mail, the package will say "TDRS" and it will have a receipt that says the total is $18. So he must buy them after he gets an order, then wait for them to ship to him, then send them to the customer. That must be a long wait.

^ good point, I didn\'t think of that. Someone on another board mentioned they made an offer for ADITR and even though he has it listed he replied it was not in stock, so I still think he orders as he gets bids, but yeah the shipping must take a while.

I read that comment re someone going to order ARDITR, also but never sat and thought on it but yeah, you\'re right, from this it does appear that he places orders at TDRS as they come in via Ebay, even though, as already discussed, this would complicate and lengthen the shiping timescale. However, on some of his listings, he also has numerous copies of the item available- e.g. 3X- which would suggest he might actually have these ones in his possession. Suppose this could just mean that he is confident of TDRS\' stock though. Either way, you\'re spot on, he is a middle man whom is totally unabashed and secure with ripping his customers off for his own gain.

^ i was the guy that made him an offer for SOTP and ARDITR as he claimed to have 5 of each in stock and they are currently out of print but he told me he didn\'t have any. i guess he says he has multiple copies of items to keep the listing up for longer. if he only listed 1 he would have to keep relisting it when he sold one. so i think he claims to have multiples of each item but doesn\'t actually carry anything and then just orders it from tdrs when he gets an order. you\'d think it would be illegal to claim you have stock of something you don\'t.

also i noticed someone actually paid him for ARDITR which is out of print so they might have to wait a long time until it comes back. surely this is also illegal- selling items that there is no guarantee he will ever be able to get hold of. i guess we\'ve just got to keep spreading the word of tdrs and stop the exploitation of buckethead fans.

I\'m sure there\'s some way we can nail this ass.

Possibly for misrepresentation?
