John Peel tapes on Ebay

[ken garner]

this just in from the seller to me:

"Hi Ken, 
We have only just recieved your messages. 
Most tapes that I tested were perfectly audible but some have not been played back since 
recorded. 
As you can see from the advert we have already selected a charity based on the premise 
that this is a recognised BBC charity and therefore the sale of the tapes would not 
constitute an offence. It seems as though it would be most appropriate for the tapes to be 
with the John Peel Group but we are loathed to end the auction early based on previous 
experioence of irate potential bidders. What do you suggest. 
Regards 
Railway rocks. "

I think it might be best if I reply saying ok, fair do's, you carry on the auction as normal, 
one of us will just watch the bidding, join in, and try to hope we get the collection, all the 
best.

what do folks think?

as someone said, he's doing the decent thing but the wants to make some cash for the 
charity, fair enough...
