Up for auction, a gently used copy of my favorite Edgar Allan Poe short story "The Black Cat," released by the weird fiction wizards at Cadabra Records. Read by Anthony D.P. Mann; music by maestro Fabio Frizzi. Released in 2018, this is the Mondo exclusive colorway on beige and pink wax, now sold out. I bought this new from Mondo and listened to it twice. Includes folded poster. Please see pictures for record and sleeve cosmetic condition. It's been stored in a climate-controlled, pet- and smoke-free office since purchase.

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. At one point I was offering every major Cadabra release, but about a third of them have been purchased on Discogs (username: htigd), so if you don’t see it here, it has been purchased. Everything must go, all starting prices better than you'll get on Discogs or elsewhere on eBay. 

Records will be shipped with extreme care in a Whiplash mailer: 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. 

I am happy to combine shipping and will do so for no extra cost so long as the lot fits in the same Whiplash mailer. I can generally get up to 4 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, you may wait for a combined invoice (generally at the end of the day's auctions), or you may pay after winning and I'll issue a partial return for excess shipping. 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 or occasionally same 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 from the inner sleeves 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. Please do not message me requesting to end an auction early unless you’re prepared to make a bid that meets what the item will plausibly fetch at auction. I block and cancel all bids from buyers who lie that they entered the wrong amount to retract a bid. Finally, please remember that I’m just one guy trying to find good homes for records while rearranging my life. I have no energy or need to waste your time, so please extend the same courtesy.
