Up for bid is a vintage 78RPM 3-record set from Capital-Criterion, Fibber McGee and Molly "On the Night Before Christmas" with Teeny, the King's Men and the Billy Mills Orchestra. See the pictures for details. I tried to capture the 'worst' record, but was not too successful in getting detail of the surface. I'm not familiar with the grading system, but reading through the highlights and without a player to test them, I'd guess they might grade from G to VG+. The album cover has definite wear on the spine and some marks and sticker residue inside, not stellar, but decent considering it's about 70 years old.What you see is what you get. Please ask questions before bidding. Thanks for looking and happy bidding!

Payment policy: I appreciate all the excellent buyers that have come my way over the years. However, lately it seems like there are an abundance of people that believe that are entitled to pay if and when they get around to it. Due to too many buyers expecting "layaway terms", payment when they acquire the funds or payment after they sell their item(s) or get their paycheck next Friday, I've had to publish payment expectations. Therefore, "I expect payment within 48 hours. If no payment has been received within 2 days, an unpaid item case will be opened automatically."

Shipping: I work hard to get all my items out within 24 hours of payment. Depending on when an item is purchased and it's size, it may go out the same day if it fits in the mail box. 

Shipping costs: Recently I've noticed that in my detailed seller ratings, buyers are down-rating me on shipping costs.  Shipping costs continue to go up and 2017 is no different; for most services it was another 4-5% increase this year. In the past 3 years, the cost to ship a small, lightweight item First Class Package has gone up 60%!  ebay and paypal also get a larger bite because their fees are a percentage of the item price AND shipping cost. 
I've also had people complain that I don't offer free shipping, although many of them are only buyers of items and not sellers. LOL! It may be "free shipping" for you, but guess what; I had to pay for it. So for example if I sell a $5 item with free shipping - presuming an 8oz package that is shipped First Class package - shipping eats 55% of the $5, ebay and paypal another 19% in fees. So at best, not counting my printing, packaging, possible transportation time & cost to/from the post office and the time to photograph, list and properly package an item, I may see a whopping $1.29 net on my sale. I'm not a business, just a small ebay seller that is cleaning out the extra stuff in the house so I'm not using the make a profit on volume model for sales.

Best offer: My idea of best offer is "best reasonable offer", or within 20% of the asking price, not pennies on the dollar as is most common. I spend significant time checking out prices on ebay and elsewhere to determine the price range for an item. Sometimes I miss or there is a sudden price collapse due to 50 sellers deciding to put the same or a similar item out at the same time. Regardless, that's where I'm coming from on best offer.
