    Why not take the $2500, buy another sealed copy, and have a little scratch left over? This is quite a bizarre story from several angles.

    Maybe because it has a lot of sentimental value for him? Being bought for the tsunami relieve cause may add some weight to it.

    146 for me, happy to have helped with the Tsunami Relief Auction. I own a Vinyl shop and we keep it in a case behind the counter that says NOT FOR SALE. We generally start the day by spinning the red circle, spin spin. About once a week someone comes in the shop and has a "Holy Shit" moment and begs and pleads, but I shall never break! One dude brought in $1,500.00 CASH, put it on the counter and said "I want That" and pointed at my Benaroya. I politely slid the money back to him and told him he could use that money to buy some Neil Young or The Band. He huffed and pulled out ANOTHER thousand, making it $2,500.00. I kindly told him that I would crack open the safe and sell him a Beatles Mono First State Butcher Cover of Yesterday and Today. He took his $2500.00, had a few choice words about "never coming back" and F this and F that and then departed empty handed. As he was kicking open the door to my shop, I kindly mentioned to him that $2500.00 would go a long way towards drowning his sorrows at the bar across the street. Well, he didn't find that too funny....The Police arrived about 3 minutes later to retrieve the gentleman from underneath my boot. He got charged with Felony Battery (he tried to hit me with the "Take a penny, leave a penny jar" :lol: and destruction of property. He did 90 days, all over a record. How silly. More consumption at any cost. I bet he works for the Government and buys $500.00 toilet seats and $200.00 pencils. I'm pretty sure he had Green Disease. So now the sign above the display says "NOT FOR SALE" and just below that it says "This is what happened to the last guy that asked", with an arrow pointed at the mug shot (public record) of the aforementioned gentleman. It gets a laugh from people, especially the PJ people. I have the best job ever! Viva La Vinyl

    Amazing story and what a dick. He definitely proved himself not worthy of owning that record

    It's prominently displayed behind a glass case that says Not For Sale and people beg and plead for it all the time. I guess I missed the sentimentality in the story.

    Not bizarre, its a love for the music, not the item. The item has no value. $1.00 or $1,000,000.00. The music is the value. (I'm buddhist). If we all just loved the music and not the delivery mechanism, it would be pure and true. Its all just stuff, useless stuff that you will not be able to take with you. You will however, have your good karma for doing well and loving others, and just loving the music because it is pure and true and filled with love from the band. That is why the music is priceless. I would give you the vinyl, if you just asked nicely. I'm serious, I really don't care about the item itself. I care about its contents. But I suspect that people will come in and ask nicely, which they have, but not for the true and pure love of the music. They wanted to consume the vinyl. I listen to it every morning, because I love the music, not the record. Get it?

    BIZARRE??? IT'S THE GREEN DISEASE. What about this surprises you? And what angles do you speak of?? I own #146, and it is a part of my vinyl shop, which I also own. Not only that, but it was a tsunami relief auction piece, so I know the money went somewhere good. I am buddhist, and have no need for his money. I love it because the music is a part of me, and my shop. I have worked hard to even keep my vinyl shop above water, but I will NEVER sacrifice my values for money or greed. Clear?
