The first item is a Five Dollar Iron, described by the origins of how it was created and why the item was so cheaply sold. With much discussion, the Five Dollar Iron was described with a combination of both objective and subjective descriptions. For the objective description, John D Freyer gives a brief history lesson, the iron is a cheap yet affordable object that was found new within his local Kmart.

The description of the LP is quite short, because it is solely objective.

Feyer does not describe the condition of his record at all, but promises to only sell it to those who would listen to the long version more than the short version. If I were to purchase the album from either source, I do enjoy how personal Feyer gets with this record and it is very appealing to those seeking to buy it, but I would go with the one I found on eBay because I look at the condition of a vinyl record before I purchase it. If it is not brand new, condition is very important of the songs could skip due to the record being scratched and the item on eBay is in very good
