I had to finally spam filter this person. Koogles has my sympathies as the e-mails typically sent in sets of 3 of the identical e-mail. OCD OCD OCD!

Yes it is FF, posting in that same "Sybillish" style and tone!

About 8 years ago, I posted a list of demos, CD's and records I owned. (remember when bragging as such was a "cool" thing to do?) Apparently the list is still floating in cyberspace with an old e-mail address I use on occasion. Recently, I have been receiving some very demanding e-mails from some folks insisting that I send them CDr's of titles of mine that are out of print and demos that were barely released except to friends and family. Several are out of Eastern Europe (which are obviously bootleggers) and one of the guys is someone named "Sean Kaufmann". Is he a legit guy or is this a front for the Retrospect Records gang reissuing everything under the sun? I don't do trade mainly because it is a pain in the butt and I got burned by that Manny Comres cornhole pretty bad a decade ago. Thank you. Mertz

I have met all the guys in the band on several occasions and they are incredibly nice and humorous. And no, I am not a hot female, just a mostly bald portly guy in his 40's! Mertz

sometimes questions get so extreme and people are so incredibly anal with them that i just tell them sorry because it looks like no matter what mertz's says they will not be happy if they make the purchase. mertz

mertz loves the love he has spread with this topic. mertz

if you have noticed a new guy called professordark has appeared on ebay based out martinsburg wva. his stock prices and shipping costs all resemble davesmetal. so far 100% feedback since february 2005. contact info ML Productions, LLC" PO Box 2811, Martinsburg, WV 25402 perhaps he bought out dave or it is dave or it someone else altogether mertz

i landed up in rehab (shopaholic) went bankrupt and bald in the process. mertz

the 3 worst countries to sell stuff to: australia - no wonder, england sent all their criminals there! nothing but schyster traders and ebay buyers. greece - until a year ago it was a bastion of fraud at least sonic age records has improved the image. ecuador - maybe their post office owns an ebay shop because nothing ever gets there. don't expect pc answers from mertz i paint with a very broad brush. mertz

thank god we have a free country where people can charge their own prices. if he dies in a pyre of pyromania no big deal. someone in the middle of nowhere might just buy it. everybody is not in the know so to speak. having sold on ebay and gemm in the past i got sick of buyers who wanted to dictate their price and justify it with their own propaganda. they were iggyed and their email address added to the mertz spam list. mertz

mertz is not on the attack just questioning what is going on. how can auction a for bashful go for $400 and auction b at the same time for bashful go for $40. money is not the issue some folks inherit it others earn it and mertz sleeps on his. i still smell a rat.

this "guy" is driving the market up up up. $400 + for bashful that went in another auction the same week for $44. mertz smells something fishy i wonder when some of these cds will show up for auction again and by whom. mertz

object of my affection with jennifer anniston i hated this movie so much i walked out before it was over and my date left me at the theater. mertz

gringo not to offend i made a general comment directed at nobody in particular. when i tried selling on ebay and gemm at one time all i received were emails from shrewd folks trying to talk me out of my collection cheap. i may be underemployed but mertz is no fool.

are some of kiss my discs prices outrageous - yes are some people wealthy / dumb enough to pay them - yes then i applaud pj and company for being smart enough to know how to make money. capitalism works! communism or socialism do not work! if you can't afford the price of something why complain? just like i can't afford an h2 so i drive an old station wagon with faux wood paneling. even warren buffett is a cheapskate. everybody has a certain amount of tight-fistedness in them. if one or two dealers corner the market on a rare cd applaud them for finding it or blame yourself for not being as industrious. i am working for a low wage thus i use shareazaa or kazaa and burn my own rare stuff. could i improve myself yes but i am not very motivated thus i am where i am by my own laziness. mertz

in viva las vegas i actually found 3 great stores 2 years ago. luckily i had an extra bag for my stuff. one was a pawn shop on the way to hoover dam. the other 2 were across the street from each other about 6 miles off the strip heading towards the national park. i bought around 25 cds total as they were $4 each in all the stores since i was buying junk so to speak. college boy trash is mertz' treasure. mertz

blue tears = queensryche??? maybe an heir apparent disc slipped into the blue tears case by accident!!!

all boots I have friends in some of the bands and they either dont care or are too poor / lazy to get a lawyer. someone asked me to get him one of his band. go figure. mertz

i purchased a bucketload of these discs and they are good. good enough for mertz, probably just ok for you. mertz

well pj, they are listed online as www.cdthen.net which i believe is actually linking to an aol site. my package came from arizona, not sure what town and when i looked on the site they were strictly web only it appears. they sell on amazon, ebay, and their homepage. the spider and rock goddess i bought years ago were legit silver cds. but the night and point blank discs i purchased recently are cdrs. the owner finally did send me a replacement point blank disc which is still a cdr! they sell at $12.99 which is fair enough but if i want to be motivated i can take anything in my musty smelling record boxes and make cdrs out of them. if they said cdr upfront, no problem, but selling on amazon and doing that, just not cool. btw acting like a rookie??? u better keep them poker sun glasses on veteran! mertz

i am going to bump this one up as much as i hate to do it. pj since you holiday in the great state of arizona have you had any dealings with these guys? mertz

sounds like another alias of that sob manny comres.

i wish aileen wuornos would have got ahold of this piece of crap before florida executed her. if the mertz mobile could make it to florida i would turf his patch of grass and tag his trailer. i hope the next hurricane washes his butt out to sea with the 9 cds he stole from me. not that i am bitter or anything. mertz

captain remind me to buy all your lousy cds as the nitro is in the mertz mobile (74 vista cruiser with wood grain paneling) all the time! i am more likely to buy a cd if it says poor mans ****** with lousy production as opposed to hyping to deth an underproduced piece of crap. if i know it is crap and buy it so be it. some of the descriptions i read are more painful than getting my hairy back waxed. mertz

this guy is like schleprock with the black cloud following him around. i would hate to be his insurance company. joker. mertz
