World’s greatest record collection up for sale

Here on ebay

The questions asked by potential buyers (though I use that term loosely) seem to have a slight hint of sarcasm; hints that perhaps have gone over the seller’s head.

Q: I am simply interested in ‘Here comes the Hot Stepper’ by Ini Kamoze. Would you be able to separate this classic from the collection and sell it to me? Thank you. Feb-19-08
A: Sorry. NOTHING will be removed from the collection.

Q: Hello, I am looking at this collection with deep interest. Has the library been completely catalogued yet? Only it troubles me deeply that there is no mention of MATCHSTALK MEN AND MATCHSTALK CATS AND DOGS by Brian & Michael from 1978. I don’t think you can call any collection complete without this seminal classic, could you please search the data base and get back to me ASAP. Thanks in advance and all the best with the sale of this huge lot. Feb-19-08
A: Nearly a million titles are on the computer database so far, and the balance of the collection is extremely well organized. Regarding your specific request, we’ll see what we can do, but the owner is busy in nearly non-stop media interviews. If the song charted, the odds are 99% that it’s in the collection.
