A FOOT NOTE FOR LESS EXPERIENCED BEATLES COLLECTORS;
JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE SELLING SOMETHING ON EBAY QUOTES THE WORD "RARE" 99 TIMES OUT OF A 100 THE ITEM IS NOT RARE, THE SELLER MERELY HOPES IT TO BE RARE AND BY USING THE WORD "RARE" HOPE TO SELL IT TO AN INEXPERIENCED COLLECTOR BY HOODWINKING THEM INTO BELIEVEING IT TO BE "RARE". TAKE MY WORD FOR IT I HAVE LISTED OVER 2000 BEATLES ITEMS ON EBAY SINCE I BEGAN TRADING HERE AND USED THE WORD "RARE" ONCE IN ALL THAT TIME. PLEASE DONT BE BELIEVING A BEATLES ITEM TO BE "RARE" JUST BECAUSE A LISTING USES THIS WORD. THE ITEMS THAT TRULY ARE HARD TO FIND DO NOT NEED TO HOODWINK PEOPLE BECAUSE GENUINE BEATLES TRADERS KNOW WHAT IS WHAT. IT IS REALLY BEGINING TO ANNOY ME THOUGH HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE USING THE WORD "RARE" WHEN INDEED THE ITEM IS NO WHERE NEAR "RARE" "EXTREMELY RARE" "IMMPOSSIBLE TO FIND" ETC ETC.
THANK YOU AND KEEP THE BEATLES ALIVE!
