Special note to foreign bidders: PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING!! IN PURCHASING THIS ITEM, YOU ARE AGREEING THERE ARE NO REFUNDS FOR ANY REASON ON FOREIGN SHIPMENTS. In order for me to ship out of the U.S., it is much more effort and expense. 

Because of this, I do not ship to foreign buyers if the value of the item is less than $20.  For items $20-$50, I can ship First class International to buyers with perfect feedback. This method is NOT insurable or trackable, but costs less. Weight must be less than 4 pounds. For items $50-$100, I would ship via priority mail international with insurance for the value bid. Some countries do not allow insurance. Please e-mail for shipping costs before bidding as this method costs more, but is insurable (usually) and trackable.  For items > $100, it will have to go some method that can be signed for. Global Express, probably, it is expensive!

Examples of shipping as of 2/22/18(to the U.K.):

9 ounces - $23.50 (first class international) + cost of box  9 ounces - $35.25 (Priority Mail International) + cost of box 9 ounces - > $50 (Global Express) + cost of box Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. I declare foreign shipments as merchandise with the value you bid for them.

END NOTE TO FOREIGN BUYERS.

Feedback/bidding policy:   I check feedback daily and will return feedback promptly. Although I go to great lengths to accurately describe my items, if you feel the merchandise is not as described, e-mail me BEFORE leaving feedback and we will resolve it.  Please note I do allow returns (see return policy below).

"Beginning 1/1/20, most purchases will be subject to a sales tax. E-bay automatically collects this for about 38 states. For the remaining states, sales tax is collected at the respective state sales tax rate."

Description: Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique Lps, this one  featuring a lot of eight (8) records for a specified buyer.

A few unique things about this item:
Firstly, these records retains lots of original shine, grading by sight in normal room light with any imperfections noted above.   I'm sure if you took these and put them under a 1000 watt bulb, you'd probably find something that makes them less than mint.  If you're that kind of collector, let me suggest this auction is not for you.

I don't claim these records are mint.  Based on past experience and visual examination, I'd expect the tracks to average better than VG+(excellent) with some scattered surface noise and pops.  If you want an audio grade of an entire record, no problem, just drop me a note well in advance of the end of auction.  You can then assign your own grade based on my comments on what I heard and the GRADING SCALE BELOW!.      

Keep in mind how it plays for me may differ than how it plays for you based on differences in audio equipment. 

So this is your chance to own a unique item at a reasonable price.   Bid early and often so you don't miss out on this auction!   

It is further described below, please take the time to read before bidding. 

Please e-mail if questions. 

Be sure to check my other listings to save postage on multiple winning bids.  Please check out my store (click on e-bay name above first, then follow the link on the next page) to see some of the 15,000+ records I have for sale as well as the LP to CD transfer service I offer. 

I am using the Goldmine scale of G=Good(1), VG = Very Good(2), VG+ = Very Good Plus(excellent)(3),  NM = Near Mint(4) when grading the disc(s).  

Here is a summary of the record(s):


Additional criteria I use when audibly grading records for people:

NM(4) = absolutely nothing wrong at all (very rarely happens--I've even opened sealed records and they don't play Near Mint)  3.5-3.9 = very, very light surface noise  3.1-3.4 = very light surface noise, very light pops  VG+(3) = up to light pops and light surface noise (below this, one's enjoyment is affected, very subjective)  VG(2) = up to medium pops and moderate surface noise  G(1) = up to heavy pops and heavy surface noise 

I can ship in a  14 x 14 x 6" box. Weight with box is about 7-8 pounds. Shipping is $6.51 Media Rate (7-8 pounds) + $1.70 box/tape/packing  = $8.21.

Buyer pays shipping/handling. Standard method within U.S. is Media Rate, $8.21 This includes online tracking.  Outside U.S., e-mail location to determine S/H costs prior to auction end.  Insurance / other methods of shipping cost extra.  Payment received within ten days of auction ending. Payment via Paypal preferred.

Thanks for stopping by and good luck with the bidding!
