yeah. Should'a simply removed the post with the link to prevent others from falling victim rather than leaving it up. And leaving it up for what purpose since it was no good ? I trusted him (as I would any old time regular) to do some vetting before posting. I saw it while getting ready for work and was kinda rushed. I shoulda figured it out when the PayPal link didn't light up. Sometimes there are real overstock closeouts that work like that. I hunt around for stuff all the time. I did get the card number changed, but the transaction has posted. I'm more worried that they would have my info to use than the $18. Well see. Maybe I will actually get the album. I'll post an update as this works through the system.
trying to dig myself out of a hole - sorry - I found the site and then hoped someone there would know something. Hence the RP post. Then I went through all 139 pages of LPs, and created quite the shopping cart. Took so long (13 minutes once I started adding things) that the 15 minute time limit made me work fast. Added card one - denied. Added card two - denied. WTF? Shut off VPN - added card three - denied. Tried some other things to trouble shoot but time was running out and there were ore than a dozen records in the pile. Then - time ran out. WTF again? Then it dawned on me. And I did the web search. And found the thing that ID’d it as a scam, so came back and removed the original post but left my scam post there so no one would be tricked. Very sorry that in that relatively short amount of time you saw it. Really didn’t expect anyone to be awake then, since no one was biting on my post. All told, gonna have to reset 5 cards. While I’m on the road, so the new cards will go to my empty house. Crap.
It's a live and learn thing. The site did take my card the first time and it did show up when I called my cc company. I tried seeing if there were any other albums that I might want but nope and just went The Wall.
I have a routine where when I wake up I have to reset my modem so our land line phone works properly (long story) and after it is done rebooting, I check out discogs to see if I sold anything overnight and then come here to check out things out for a minute. Saw that and jumped.
It will be interesting to see if I actually get the album, but I am all primed to contest the transaction in case I don't.

I was wondering if someone was going to actually collect the cash. Who knows... maybe it's legit?
Thanks for nothing. Now I have to go and change my cc.
In fairness... somebody went to a bit of trouble setting up that site. They scraped all of the real EMI store data/pictures... and "poof"... new store. That said, there are some obvious "tells". Everything is the same price? I don't buy albums now... but even I know nothing is the same price... especially not at $7.99. Any site that suggests there are hundreds and hundreds of people looking at something (like the 914 looking at Depeche Mode's greatest hits right now?)... and a countdown timer for a sale (that doesn't end at midnight/top of any hour)... is suspect. What I enjoyed is that they have every social media link known to mankind at the bottom...and they all go to the generic site. It's actually kinda foolish to have them...but... Data truly is the new oil.

Plate o shrimp. I was just reading an article with Eddie Jobson talking about how he was in this version of Yes, and even in the “Owner of” video. I didn’t believe it, but he’s definitely in there - and edited out.
Been a fan of Jobson's work going back to Curved Air, long before he joined Roxy Music.
Jeez, what a fuster cluck this album was in putting it together. Here's the bit from wiki on what you mentioned. Amazing it got done at all. It is a great album though and much easier to listen to regardless of mood, unlike most of the earlier material. Wakeman was a good addition for a minute but they just went too far into the weeds for me to follow. 90125 brought back my attention to them, in a good way. Then poof gone again a few years later.
After the band introduced themselves as Cinema on MTV, they received legal threats from other bands with the same name.[22] This prompted Carson to suggest that they continue as Yes, as the group now consisted of four past Yes members. When Rabin, who wished the album to be judged in its own right, was eventually persuaded, work began on promotion and rehearsals with keyboardist Eddie Jobson, formerly of Roxy Music and U.K. (Duncan Mackay, formerly of Cockney Rebel and 10cc, was also considered for the position.[23]) Jobson appeared in the video for "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and was reported in the press as a Yes member as late as November 1983;[24] however, seeking to consolidate the band's legal identity as Yes, management came to an agreement with Kaye who returned after touring with Badfinger. Unimpressed with the change, citing "political problems" within the group, and having a lack of interest in sharing live duties with Kaye, Jobson left by early 1984.[25]
