For sale is the record Design Your Universe by Epica, on clear vinyl. Released in 2017 by Nuclear Blast. Includes 2 LPs, gatefold sleeve, and paper insert with art and lyrics. NOTE: The gatefold sleeve is damaged. There is a seam split along the outer spine, as well as some wrinkles/bend marks on the sleeve itself, mostly near the top but also a few near the bottom. The back cover of the sleeve has a tear in it near the top. Images of the tear and seam split are included; getting good pictures of the wrinkles/bend marks is difficult due to lighting. The paper insert has some very minor crinkling on one part. The records themselves appear to be in excellent condition and were not damaged to any notable extent by whatever caused the damage to the gatefold sleeve.

Additional Details about Vinyl sales: I am selling much of my vinyl record collection. Unless otherwise noted above, the following details apply to all the vinyl records I have available for sale. Please contact me if you want more specific details about a particular record beyond the generalities noted here, and please view the included pictures before purchasing.

Shipping: Ships FREE within the United States (and this time, international shipping is unavailable). Most records ship by USPS Media Mail, although Priority Mail may be used for expensive or heavy box sets or other rare items. Tracking information will be provided upon shipment. I go to the post office twice a week, generally in the evening, and so I should ship your record within 3 business days of when you place your order; however, postal delivery times after that point may vary, especially since recent USPS policy changes have lead to longer-than-usual delays in some cases. Please have patience and feel free to get in touch if it takes longer than expected to receive your record.

Record Condition: Most of the records I am selling are in excellent condition. Almost all of them were purchased by me in new or like-new condition, and have since been handled with care and played between one and a dozen times. Unless otherwise noted above for this particular record, the records are not known to have any skips, audible scratches, persistent surface noise, loud pops, or other significant audio issues. However, due to the nature of the vinyl format, the exact audio quality you are likely to hear depends on your sound system's setup.

Sleeve Condition: The record sleeve may have some minor dings on the corners or edges (due to shipping, packaging, or storage wear). Any more significant issues with the condition of the sleeve for this particular record, if any, would be noted above.

Inner Sleeve Condition: The original inner sleeve(s) included with the record are included, with the exception of unprinted inner sleeves (ones that are a solid white or black color), in which case they have generally been replaced with Diskeeper Audiophile Inner Sleeves (or, in the case of certain double albums, with Diskeeper Double Audiophile Inner Sleeves). Records which originally were packaged with printed inner sleeves (containing artwork, lyrics, etc.) have those sleeves included, generally alongside a Diskeeper sleeve in which the record has been stored since it was opened. These printed inner sleeves may have some minor wear (e.g., whitening around the corners), but any significant visible wear for this particular record's inner sleeves should be noted above. Some records which were originally packaged with poly-lined inner sleeves (as opposed to purely paper ones) may still be in their original inner sleeves and so may not include a Diskeeper sleeve.
Returns: Your purchase is backed by the eBay Money Back Guarantee, which covers you in the case that the item does not arrive or is not as described. Additionally, if the record arrives in a worse condition than is described/pictured here but you would still like to keep the record, you may contact me with a description of the discrepancy and we can most likely arrange a partial refund to compensate for any accidental inaccuracies in the listing.
