Last week I came across a guy on Ebay selling a signed simon and Garfunkel signed Sounds of Silence album.  This was the nicest Paul Simon signature I have ever seen.  he had a story that his wife's father is Ted Everly, the first cousin of the Everly Brothers.  His father in law took the album to a show a few years back where the Everly Brothers were opening for Simon and Garfunkel and got the album signed.  I verified all of his information and it was accurate.  We worked out a best offer deal for $400.  I mentioned to him that there was another Simon and Garfunkel album that was just listed with a buy it now of $225, but I preferred his album.  Ten minutes later I notice that the other album was sold.  He tells me he is out of town until last Saturday, I'm waiting for the Paypal invoice, and he tells me that he just got the same album as his from his friend and it is in better condition and he can offer it to me for less money if I'm interested.  I tell him that I really like his, because of how nice the signatures are.  he sends me a photo of this other album from his friend that he bought and it was the one from Ebay.  I was really pissed off.  I told him that it was the same one from Ebay that I passed and that I'm not interested, he starts claiming that it isn't the same and then tells me that he went ahead and sold the one I was supposed to buy from him.

So this jackass goes ahead and buys the one off Ebay and turns around and misrepresents it to me as being from his friend.  He paid $225 for it was was giving it to me for a deal at $375.  I sent him a photo of the one from Ebay and told him what I thought of him.  he still insisted that he did nothing wrong.

I cannot believe he went and sold the album we agreed on, what a putz!  I feel like I'm never going to find a Simon and Garfunkel signed album that is authentic or from a trustworthy person.

Thanks for listening.
