WELCOME!!
No reserve! Get a Christmas present for yourself!
I preordered 2 of these back in 2013. This copy has just sat on the shelf for over 2 years. It's one of my top 10 albums I love end-to-end. I bought the extra copy because I thought that over its lifetime, I'd wear the first copy out from play wear. It's only been touched 3 or 4 times as I moved it from one section to another rearranging my shelf.
This is the original 1st pressing on purple vinyl. Sleeve is one of the few things on my shelf I would dare rate as "Minty". It is straight, uncreased, no corner bends, nothing. Fantastic condition! The last photo shows this SEALED copy next to the open copy I have for color reference. Only the top sealed copy is included. :'P
Now if only they would press Staind's Break the Cycle... ^_^

****Notes on vinyl grading/offers:****
I have recently revised my grading to reflect rather conservative grades in the higher grades. Please see below.
GRADE
SLEEVE
VINYL
Mint/Sealed (Immaculate)
Sealed. Immaculate. Archival quality.
Vinyl is assumed Mint since album is still sealed.
NM: (Extremely Well-Kept)
Near immaculate. Looks as if it were just opened. May have one or two small flaws such as a slight crease or tiny corner bump.
Near flawless. Only one or two allowable surface marks such as a paper scuff. Only occasional dust noise in quiet passages.
EX: (Very Well-Kept)
Slightest signs of shelf or corner wear. No splits. Excellent artwork.
A few very small surface abrasions that may make some very light noise in quiet areas.
VG+: (Average, but very nice)
Light to moderate shelf wear. Hint of ring wear visible in some cases. Corner bumps or creases are visible. MAY have SMALL split near opening edge.
Some light hairlines and paper scuffs that produce audible noise, but is quite faint as compared to the music.
VG: (Slightly mistreated)
Moderate shelf wear that is borderline detracting from artwork and visuals. May have a small split on edge that doesn't exceed 2". Easily repaired or mitigated by a thick inner.
Several hairlines and paper scuffs that start to detract from the audio in some areas. Perfectly playable. Still has decent gloss, but looks well-played.
GOOD: (Abused, but playable)
Seam split that has been repaired/taped. Heavy shelf wear that leaves sleeve feeling abused.
Feelers, tickers, and loud pops will detract from the audio. Loss of gloss is apparent. Plays through, but quite noisy.
POOR: (Was likely used as a Frisbee at some point)
Bad seam splits on several edges. Heavily damaged artwork.
Skips, feelers, loopers... you name it, they're likely all here! Collection filler material only. Read description for details.
Most records are visually graded, but I do play grade quite often. Look to above description. I will usually comment on play quality if I do play test it.
I am usually quite open to offers on most items. If I’ve had it listed for some time, message me!
Combined shipping for records:
Combined shipping: $4 for first LP, $1 for each additional.
Orders totaling over $100 ship for FREE in the US unless noted in above description (E.G. A lot of 70 LPs). Please request an invoice before checkout.
International:
I use eBay's Global Shipping Program for most of my listings. EBay is responsible for the cost, participating countries, and transit times. The program handles all import and shipping fees. Check with your local customs to approximate import fees. Please consult the knowledge base or customer service with questions regarding this program.
****Conditions of sale:****
PayPal only. Continental US
only. **see below**
I expect payment within 3 days of the end of the auction.
All my items are in working condition unless otherwise stated. I do my absolute best to test everything I own. Again, I test everything to the best of my ability. I will specifically mention something in the listing if I can't. (E.G. A feature that is only controllable by remote control and I'm missing the remote.)
If for some reason you feel you need to return something, remember that the buyer is responsible for return shipping. Also, I will not refund the purchase until the buyer cancels the transaction through the resolution center. These are all eBay "best practices". Please understand. I value my score and want to keep it. Please contact me if you have any problems before leaving negative or even neutral feedback. Email with questions or for more pictures, and I will try to answer ASAP.
