Actually $1 per LP in this case is VERY bad. This "collection" is a store inventory liquidation, and I can guarantee you at least 50% or more of it are the utter-junk common crap vinyl you can imagine - bought at wholesale for less than $0.10 per pop.
This auction is a scam, a free ebay advertisement pilot. I bet whoever "bough" it will not pay and he will keep relisting it until it sells for the amount he desires. Just check the last revisions he made at the bottom of the page:
"1. $3million is a ridiculously low price to start with. The owner of the collection has turned down offers for far more over the years, including an offer of $28million nine years ago. It's being sold this way now because his life circumstances have changed.
2. If there are no bids, we plan to re-list it immediately. But once it's re-listed, publicity will be far greater than it is now. We've been inundated with media requests world-wide, and have done interviews nearly non-stop. In a matter of hours or days, the collection will be seen in major electronic and print media world-wide, taking our story to a new audience even beyond the reach of eBay. This valuable collection is soon to be seen for the first time by tens, if not hundreds of millions of people around the world.
Quite frankly, we welcome the prospect of no bids at this time. The collection will fetch a higher price when it's re-listed."
He is scamming with hope to attract some gullable rich person to believe this "collection" is worth the top dollar. He may succeed coz the media likes such stories and will spread the word, and his auction is on every board already drawing people's attention.
- remember, don't do ebay when drunk as a skunk..
