FEEDBACK NOTICE...
For all practical purposes we consider ourselves to have a 100% feedback rating - and hopefully so should you, despite the 9 negative feedbacks we disastrously just received.
We have had the unfortunate experience of a notorious mean spirited (etc.) buyer who purchased many of our weekly listings, when he suddenly became manipulative in handing out unwanted advice which moved into relentless harassment - including threats to issue negative feedback unless demands were met, as in to send him upgrades for records he purchased, exclaiming unreasonable nonexistent issues, as well as his amateur understanding of pressings and labels. In his weekly bidding participation - he keeps the seller paralyzed over his threats of negative feedback "if something is not met in his demands."
We came to a point where this buyer became so abusive using personal attacks with foul language and insults, we declared, never again. He was blocked from our listings. He went berserk, writing and phoning stating 80 percent of our listings met his expectations -- untrue, in reality he complained about everything unless it was upgraded - at our expense -- then attempted to claw his way back to us to become unblocked. When we refused to give in, he followed in a tirade issuing us 9 negative feedbacks (the only negatives on our seller's profile) declaring on each negative potential damaging untrue statements about our merchandise and warning all buyers to stay away. We have a have a distinguished reputation with eBay Records for the past 20 years -he is the only ONE who has made such false claims. Some of the negatives given were for absolutely were MINT records, others were SEALED and never opened! This is 100% obvious blatant retaliation for his being blocked, but it didn't end there.
Horrible e-mails have followed after he issued the negatives, ridiculing and gloating that he "got away with damaging our reputation on eBay", and that his goal is to continue to contact eBay and twist their arm in an attempt to get us banned from the site. He claimed he has contacts all over the U.S. and they would continue his dirty work for him. Sure enough, we have confirmed information that a friend of his bid on one of our records to be handed over to the blocked bidder. Because of that, we are anticipating more damaging negative remarks. Now there is an ongoing conspiracy concocted by this buyer in effort to undermine us at all costs by using any measure - all because we had no choice but to exercise our seller's right to block him.
Some other sellers on eBay have contacted us stating the same issues occurred with them by this same bad buyer. Others have contacted asking for his IDs so they can avoid having to sell to this obvious problem buyer. We were noted that he had 4 different alias ID's, with two of them being suspended. Why he is allowed to keep his other two active is a total mystery. In the words of one of the bad buyer's victims "I hope you guys can get him removed off eBay." We are in the process of working with upper management in eBay to rid this parasite from causing further discord in an effort to protect ourselves and the entire eBay community.
In the meantime, our plan is to continue our eBay ID and weekly music service listings designed for all the many great collectors who have supported our reputable hard work for the past 20 years on ebay. We truly appreciate your continued support, and on our part will continue to serve you and not allow this unscrupulous individual interfere with our love of supplying the world with the glue that holds us together....music.

FINAL COLLECTION COPY!!!
November 9th 1970 original press in THICK gatefold sleeve on the highly collected APPLE label... looks perfect (see details below song listings)
Less than 6 months after Badfinger's debut "Magic Christian Music" was released, the public is treated to the first real (with the new lineup) Badfinger album--"No Dice." The change is instantly noticeable. Gone is the silly dated Brit-pop that was the Iveys, replaced by the harder edged power pop that is Badfinger. "I Can't Take It" is the nonsensical raver that starts the LP off in fine fashion with Pete Ham shouting it out. The boys would use this song in their live act for years. "I Don't Mind" comes floating into the speakers next. Tom and newcomer Joey Molland do a good job vocally. It's a good song, handled with great feeling by the singers. "Love Me Do" is another song in the rocking mode. Also used in their stage show for the next few years, one can see why--lots of energy, good guitars. "Midnight Caller" is a nice mournful ballad with the drums mixed surprisingly high. The backing vocals shine while Pete Ham delivers a sterling lead vocal. Ham shows why many people referred to him as the best songwriter in the band as he shifts gears next and brings us the classic "No Matter What." All you have to do is hear the opening chord to know that it's Badfinger. Joey Molland plays a very fitting lead guitar. "Without You" is next and it's the one that got away. Badfingers version really sounds like a demo compared to the version that Harry Nilsson made and created into the monster that now stands as the definitive one. "Bloodwyn" is up next and it shows the boys can handle different types of music. Here the boys work the rural angle with Pete again doing a tremendous vocal job. His slightly nasal readings give his songs an edge to them. Also, his lead guitar in this song is nothing short of perfection. Joey's "Better Days" is up next. While more of a shuffle than an out and out rocker, its nice to have. Nice way the acoustic guitars keep time, almost buried in the chorus. "It Had to Be" is the song drummer Mike Gibbins wrote although Pete Ham sings it. This is probably the song with the least to commend it. His writing would grow alot stronger in the future. "Watford John" is a song written by all four but sung by Pete. Nice guitar work here although the song as a whole fails to impress. "Believe Me" marks the first solo written number by Tom Evans who wrote much of the material on their debut LP. Highly impassioned vocals, while kept in check for the first couple of verses, erupt, then lead us to dueling guitars leads, then back into the song again. Tremendously impressive. "We're For the Dark" finishes the Lp proper with Pete Ham and his mates on their trusty acoustic guitars. Of course, it helps that the lush arrangement cradles this beautiful tune. All in all, improved vocals(both harmony and backing, a harder edge (due to Joey Molland) and improved songwriting(mainly Pete Ham) gave Badfinger one the best albums of 1970.
