middlecreekguy Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I got one last year, and I love it. But....the salesman on ebay is going a little over board on the capabilities of this product. And it`s not new. It`s been around for a few years. First... understand, this is not for doing a deep cleaning of your records. It`s a substitute, or a second option to a Hunts brush. It`s sticky, but not enough to even pick up a record off your turntable. Not even close. And it leaves absolutely no residue. It really is a space age material. After VPI-ing a record I use it to pick up any surface dust that appears between plays. It really works, and is soft enough so that that it reaches down into the grooves. After it gets a bit dirty I just use a clean wet sponge with light soap to wipe it off, then rinse with warm water and let it air dry. And BTW, the seller`s price is excellent. I paid about 40 bucks for mine last year. They were selling for that or more on ebay. I highly recommend this product for light maintenance of your already clean LPs.

picky Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 U.S. Shipping Costs: $14.98? I don't think so! No thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middlecreekguy Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Mine came from England and it was less than that. Wow! But I see what he`s doing. This is a 40 dollar plus item that he`s selling for 30 and recouping the rest on shipping. I`ve seen these sell for 80 dollars on ebay.

Parrot Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Yes, the high shipping is a scheme to pay eBay less commission. You can sell a $40 item for $10 and charge $30 shipping. Then you pay eBay commission only on the $10. eBay knows about this practice, but can't do too much about it unless it is flagrant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
