I just saw this posting on E-bay:

Does anyone want some flattened CED's?

How do they list those pictures, and that price with a straight face?

You got me. I was shocked at how they have the CED's stacked and to make matters worse, they have players stacked on the very top, too.

Scott: How have you been? I have not seen any posts from you on this forum in a long time. I hope you are well.

This is only about 3 hours from me. But I emailed the guy and he said the discs were stacked on shelves about 20 high for the last 30 years before they moved them to the pallet. So these discs are all going to be toast. He minus well rent a dumpster. But I asked if he would sell the players. Made him an offer of about $200 for all of them, cause who knows what is wrong with them plus my gas to go get them. When he realizes nobody wants them I will probably hear back from him. lol

This saddens me. There are exceptions to be made of course, but in today's day and age I feel it's not too hard to look up CED care online. I see a handful of discs in those stacks that I'd like to have. Hopefully you here back from the sell ketonic and can salvage some of the players.

In this case I would've thought a dealer would've known better, or told whoever stored them about it!

In any case, sad. Sad

Update:

The seller has relisted. He dropped the price to $2000. The corker is that he changed the photo. Instead of the CED's being stacked, they are now shown stored on their edges in cardboard boxes. Sorry to let him know that the damage has been done and I believe a good share of the discs are ruined.

I know it is the same seller as he is in Cloquet on both listings.
