The National - Think You Can Wait b/w Exile/Vilify Vinyl 7" NM (2011) Clear Vinyl
This copy is brand new, never played and has been sitting in a box for years. There is no ring wear, but perhaps the slightest of slight pushes on one corner. I'm picky, so I thought I'd at the very least mention it, despite its tiny nature (there is a photo above). There is also a small slip of paper from the National on the inside, but I neglected to pull it out and photograph it. Blast!
I ship 7"s sandwiched between 5 pieces of 9-inch cardboard, taped into a brick, then placed inside a bubble or Tyvek mailer. Never had any issues with having them arrive in absolutely perfect shape - as they are stiff as a brick and have a full inch on every side to absorb the hits. Nothing worse than something getting damaged in transit. 
Sorry for the Priority Mail, but with mail these days, you just can't ship expensive records Media Mail and feel safe that they'll arrive. I've had 3 orders fail to show up in the past year from shops around the world... after years of never having a single record go missing.
Disclaimer: When buying new and unplayed vinyl, you receive the luxury of first listen and the best possibility of a pristine copy, with no wear or scars from a previous owner. However, every buyer runs the risk of discovering a defect from the factory, and when a record is new, but out-of-print, there is no easy remedy. While the chances aren't high, they aren't nothing and with this exchange, the buyer now assumes that risk (as I once did when I purchased it new, and do every day with my new/unplayed vinyl purchases too).
