Up for auction, a gently used copy of "Symbolic," Death's phenomenal sixth LP, their second with drum master Gene Hoglan and only release on Roadrunner Records. This is the rare and very OOP 2014 Metal Blade reissue on white vinyl. I purchased it new and listened to it a couple times. It's been stored in a climate-controlled, smoke-free office since purchase. Sleeve is still in shrink but does have small splits on top and on the spine: please see pictures for exact sleeve and record condition. People are asking $130-250 for their copies, so here's a chance to get a good, clean copy at a reasonable price.

I've been collecting records for ten years, but due to moving to a tiny house last summer and changing jobs this summer, I no longer have a place to store them, so it's time to find them a new home. I have over 750 individual pieces remaining that will be listed and sold over the next few months, including rare and OOP soundtracks; metal, rock, and punk records; and Cadabra spoken word records. Everything must go, all starting prices better than you'll get on Discogs or elsewhere on eBay. Whether you're building up your collection or filling in gaps, this is a very rare chance to get them at non-extortionary prices from a collector, not a price gouger. 
Records will be shipped with extreme care: bubble wrap, cardboard inserts, the works. All unsealed records will be shipped outside the sleeve to prevent split seams; if you want the record shipped inside the sleeve, message me after winning and indicate that's what you want. Sealed records and box sets will be shipped as is unless you request after the auction that I unseal and ship with the record outside, which I'll be happy to do. I'll pack with extreme care, but split seams are a risk for sealed records; no returns if you opt to ship sealed. I ship Media Mail by default — except for box sets and records too valuable to risk USPS losing them with no recourse. If you want a different service, please message me after winning and I'll get you an exact quote. Please note that if you ask me to ship Media Mail instead of an insured service and it gets lost, it's your loss if USPS loses or damages it.
I am happy to combine shipping and will do so for no extra cost so long as the lot fits in the same box: I can generally get up to 5 LPs (doubles counting as 2) into one box. If you want to combine more than one mailer's worth or records, I will ship the lot for exact cost. If you want combined shipping, please pay after winning and I'll issue a partial return for the extra shipping. You should have money back in your account within a day. If you are eyeing multiple auctions and want me to hold onto an auction you won, please send me a message that day. I generally try to ship records next day, so if you wait a day to contact me, I may already have it in the mail. 
Pictures show the exact condition of the actual product, and every known scratch, ding or flaw has been disclosed in the photos or description. Unless specified, all records play all the way through and have no scratches that affect play. Used records may have light surface scratches that don't affect play: I ship to the lower 48 U.S. states only due to cost and risk of damage/loss/scam. No returns or refunds. Please do not bid and ask me to retract the bid, or ask me to cancel an auction you won. I block and cancel all bids from buyers who lie that they entered the wrong amount to retract a bid. Again, that kind of nonsense is messing with a guy trying to rearrange his life in short order, not somebody who's chosen selling on eBay as his profession. Plus, the world will be a better place for everyone if we all stop bidding on crap we don't actually want or can't afford. If you're not sure you want my stuff; please don't bid. If you do, you'll get quality goods at excellent prices from a collector who cares about that on which he once spent his paycheck.
