A few months ago, I was selling a friends LP collection on ebay. One of the items that I was trying to sell was the Death In June Brown Book lp. For some reason, ebay kept canceling my auctions. It was frustrating, I just didn’t get it.

After some googling, I figured out why. Apparently, this album contains a short snippet (less than 10 seconds) of an old German march. This march is associated with an unpleasant time in German history. Despite the members of Death In June participating in many humanitarian events, including benefits working directly with Jewish organizations, this record was labeled bad. So ebay would yank it. I tried a few times unsuccessfully to list it, adding notes, explanations and links. Never worked.

Finally, my friend just traded it for a Pulling Teeth longsleeve. Both parties were happy, and no ebay fees were transacted. Everyone wins! Also, check this guy’s auctions. He’s got a lot of gems.
