Vintage Big Dipper LP - Craps - 1988 USA Original on Homestead Records with Hype Sticker
I am the original owner of this record. The cover is almost perfect - clean and glossy - but there are a couple of small scuffs on the bottom edge. There is also a patch of lines which may or may not be actual scuff marks in the area of the bottom left corner. You can see it in the photos if you use the "hover to zoom" magnification feature. If not for that I would call the gatefold jacket near mint for condition. The original shrink-wrap hype sticker has been preserved and is included.
The record is about as perfect as you'll ever hope to find. It is glossy and in near mint condition. This record was probably played once when new as it was my habit in those days to record all vinyl on audio cassette on the first play and then listen to the tapes after that. I did give the record another spin before offering it for sale. I'm happy to report that it still sounds as good and clean as it looks. The music sounds fantastic and I didn't detect any record surface noise of concern. This record sounds about as good as it gets. The plain white inner sleeve is in excellent condition. I've moved the record to a quality poly sleeve for further storage and shipping outside of the jacket.
Please see the photos to check out the condition for yourself.

For items to be delivered outside of the USA, buyers should be aware that any customs fees / taxes that are required by your government are your responsibility and are not covered by the cost of the item or the shipping charges.

I promise to pack your item securely, no matter what it is. Everything I ship gets packed well, so don't worry about a thing. If appropriate I will add insurance coverage and sometimes I will add signature tracking (USA) when your item is shipped. Signature tracking ensures that the postal service doesn't leave your valuable item unattended on your doorstep out in the rain. Signature tracking requires that your package be handed to you (or your agent) directly - after you sign for it. So if you order something rare and/or worth a bit, be prepared to have to accept delivery in person.

When multiple items are shipped together, I can almost always give you a better deal on the shipping cost compared to the individual shipping costs. I promise to give you the best rate possible based on the items purchased and the shipping method required. Be sure to look at all that I offer to see if you can add to your order without significantly increasing shipping charges.
For "Buy It Now" items (most of what I offer), simply add each that you want to your shopping cart. When ready to commit to buying, request a total from me from your cart and I'll send an invoice as soon as I can. Since I'm not a computer and I do other things like sleep and take the dogs for walks, you might not receive an immediate response, but I will get back to you as soon as possible. If you decide to pay for items you want individually instead of using the shopping cart, I might be able to send some money back for a shipping discount. You won't get quite as good of a deal that way though, because I will already have been charged ebay fees on the shipping costs that you paid. 
Sometimes combining shipping results in increased packaging material expense. I'm not going to skimp on safe packaging.  Some items are not compatible for combined shipping.  Combining shipping might require changing the shipping class used.  A few items that I offer are not eligible for combined shipping. There will be a note to that effect in description somewhere if that's the case. For international sales, items with "ebay International Standard Delivery" shipping can usually be combined up to $100 value.  For international sales, items with ebay's "Global Shipping Program" shipping cannot be discounted easily because ebay does not permit shipping discounts with their "Global Shipping Program."
Of course it is ok to ask about combined shipping costs up front too. I can't always give an exact cost, but I'll do my best to give you a ballpark figure.
I reserve the right to limit the number of items or the total value of items that I'm willing to send in a single package. This is especially true for international orders where postage rates and insurance limitations are limiting factors.
