And you can buy with confidence, with that sort of feedback.

The fact there isn't a photo is one clear giveaway. I think that I remember that the first "commercial" stereo lp was on the Audio Fidelity label but the fact that he doesn't give the title or record number is suspect. Let us know how it sounds....please!

What's the fuss all about? It ain't such a bad deal considering that the seller, with a little negotiatin', is probably willing to throw this into the mix: http://www.stereophile.com/ces2007/011307goldmund/ without tonearm or cartridge.

I'll just need to settle on a tonearm and proper cartridge matching before I play my new record. Any thoughts Neo?

Irrelevant item, even for a museum.
Wax cylinders or shellac are more interresting.

Congratulations. Sale soon before the price drops.

Cheap at half the price

It isn't the same guy with the $90,000 tube headphone amp made from $35 worth of parts, is it?

Hi all Audio Circle members.
All those crazy offerings are so funny !

But I am sure many fall into the traps.

Just think of the Audiogon transaction fee he's going to pay when this sells...

No kidding! He may make Paypal's Christmas card list too.

Apparently (looks like the same item), the seller has it listed elsewhere too - http://washingtondc.ebayclassifieds.com/collectibles/falls-church/historic-oct-11-1957-westrex-stereodisk-demo-record-from-audio-eng/?ad=10881286

Yes, if you buy $1,100,000 worth you get the quantity discount and it works out to $1 for each copy

Probably the same person that's quite "renowned" on Shady Lane at Audio Asylum. Google archaic audio and audio asylum.

I'd be very interested if the price were $999,999,99. But a Million bucks is more than I can afford.

I'd like to see him try to enter $1,000,000 under declared value/insurance with online shipping (ups, fedex, usps). Or will he try the cheap route with usps media mailers?

Yeah buddy, I'd go that route. Look how good USPS did with our interconnect cable tour
