Did I get a Secret Santa and not know it???


Hey Everyone.


I went and picked up a package this morning from the post office and it was an ebay box. The problem is it came from Newport NC. Inside was a beautiful shot Glass from Wyoming. I thought the ohter half ordered it but he said it is not his and I did not order any shot glasses.


So I am sending this out to the forum to see if anyone knows or is Cynthia Meadows from Newport. There is a tracking number on the box as it was insured. Usually if it is from Ebay they enclose a invoice and there was none there.


If this is one of you guys let me know. I think the glass is beautiful and I just want to make sure that the proper person is thanked.

Like I said in your PM, we used to collect and when we moved here a year ago, we never displayed them. I will find the box and go through them. They are in the attic! Hopefully the hubby will not care- he should not, they have been in the attic for a year this week!

I do not keep those Jacksons around JR, but I do have some Michael Jackson stuff you might want. 


 


 


Actually when I worked at a record store, one Xmas I won a 45 collection of MJ's singles. They are all different colors and have never been played. If he was not such a freak, they might have been worth something. I am holding on to them hoping I will wake up and all his troubles were just a dream!

Hey Ruby, I mentioned this once before, but it fits this thread so I'm mentioning it again.


When I was a young man, maybe 15, I used to be a dumpster diver.  I'd bike out to the record stores at 3 AM and dive in the trash bins collectiong posters, album flats, etc.


One morning I found a sealed box that weighed a ton, I just took it home unopened, figuring whatever it was would be cool, but expecting it to be advertising material.


It turned out to be a full case of Michael Jackson 45's all on red vinyl and with special picture sleeves.  There were 12 or 16 of these multi-packs that each had about 8 45's in them, featuring 16 of his hits off THRILLER and earlier.  It was marked "collectors set".  This was right when he was at the height of his fame, and while I didn't think of it then, I'll bet someone from the store was gonna steal them, and put them out with the trash to get them later.  I can just imagine their surprise when they showed up later and couldn't find the box

Nah Sparky,



I was an idiot.  I sold them at a flea market like 3 years later for a couple bucks a set


JD, you seem awful upset by this story.  You didn't by any chance work at Total Eclipse Records on Highway 100 in the mid eighties did you? 


That reminds me too, the clerk that was always there was a dead ringer for Phil Collins.  Not that that means anything, just popped back in my head.

Are you serious?  You actually have the same ones!  That's amazing!


To be honest, I'd have no use for them, other than sentimental reasons.  Aaaaaaaaaaaah, the ol' dumpster diving days.


But people tell me that's a phase of my life I should try to forget, not fondly reminisce over

Yes, I have the same!! It would have been in 1987 or 1988!


 


Dang, I was trying to get rid of them , but I always feel bad when I think of giving them to goodwill. But I think his resale value will always stink!

I just don't get it.


The guy hasn't had a hit in 20 years.  He's a human side-show.  How in the world does he maintain that popularity?

I know a few die hard MJ fans (believe it or not), and they're the super-fanatical type that would pay outrageous money for his stuff. So you may think about putting them up on eBay...

Hey Ruby, I can attest to the power of Ebay. I sold 6 Bob & Tom CD's for a tidy $260. I couldn't believe it. One guy paid $75 for one of them and I sent them all over the country.
