I hate this, out of a minimum sale price of £20 plus £7 postage, the owner
gets £12 at the most. I hope this sort of thing doesn't catch on. I really
wanted this album, but I'm not prepared to line the pockets of these
middlemen too much.


That's garbage. The seller will be getting around 95% less 60pence or
so of the final sale price, and £7 for posting an LP is a ripoff. BTW,
why would you care who gets the split from your 27 quid? Basically,
you're whining because you don't want to pay 27 quid for the album.
This guy is a dealer, he's got *dozens* of those old MFSL albums for
sale, so he gets extra ebay discount on the multiple listings!
