The Scene is an alternative weekly newspaper that began in the early 1970?s.  Based out of Cleveland, OH.  It contained articles, classified advertising, and highlights on Cleveland area arts, music, dining and films.  There is a section for a Schedule of Happenings.  Movie reviews and album reviews.   It?s like a Time Machine Journey going thru these papers.  8-track and cassette tapes.  Vinyl.  $3 concert tickets, introduction of bands that have lasted 40+ years, fading out of others, adverts for SCHLITZ beer!  Other nostalgic adverts as well.

I will happily answer any further questions.


Making offers: I certainly can appreciate wanting a better deal, and I've made offers myself on my own purchases.  To be up front, if and when you make an offer, I will automatically reject crazy low "give it away" offers.  Best not to waste our time.  With a more reasonable offer, I will review current pricing for other comparable items out there and either accept, counter or decline submitted offer.  If in that review, I find my pricing is already LOW and outdated, I may then increase the price to bring more in line with other offerings.  I spend a lot of time sourcing the best offerings, preparing the listings with images and clear descriptions, and price fairly in MOST cases. 


I remain grateful to all who consider my offerings, and I look forward to serving your needs respectfully and with success.
