Yes I love those hot stampers whose got all of them? Mine are stamped when the master is cold and I end up with blobs of semi cool vinyl with a few traces of the tracks. Acutally I know what some of the inner dead space markings now mean but just because you are getting a 1a 1a doesn't mean it will make it the reall hot stamper status any time and anyplace the seller may by law declare this or that record to be a hot stamper. All I really care about is whetherv it sounds goodand I do think a goodly amount of heat should be present during the stamping process.
The one thing I forgot to add earlier was the sickening lowballer definition when they are saying the price is firm in fact because offering anything other than their asking is a lowball. I think you should not be told that the seller knows that his price is a very fair price. If they mean a genuine value then it it easy a buyer will pay that much. Thus It is worth what somone will pay for it period. If you are being conceptual none of the prices in high end are fair.
