Greetings everybody!  Thank you very much for stopping by my ebay record listing! I appreciate that you decided to take time out of your busy schedule to stop by and have a look at the goods! Though I have been selling on ebay the past few years, when I have listed records (I do sell other items too!), all my record listings have been strictly auction style. Now and then, when ebay offers a deal on auction style listings, I have even re-run records, auction-style. But there's one way I haven't attempted to sell records here, and that's Buy It Now/Or Best Offer. So I've figured this might be a good way to get some of the 1 or 2 try records listed this way. I'll make sure my listings have the details, and if these are re-runs, I will generally just copy & paste the listing, so I apologize in advance for any sudden case of deja vu. The main difference between these listings will be-less chatter.  For auctions, I want to get a bit detailed, with a bit of history about the record. These buy it now listings will be more bare-boned. I figure those who want it now won't want to wait for an auction to close. It won't be long until I will list records in this format without going through the auction process.  Those are the ones that I think are too popular to auction, so I'll still be strict with my grading and will price competitively, but really aren't things I want to take more time than necessary to get listed. Don't worry, the common as dirt stuff, I don't pick that up anyway.  I have worked in a record store the past 19 years (all records I list on ebay are my own though), and still do.  I encourage communication, for any and all reasons! I hope that I may have something of interest that you might want for yourself. If it's not in great condition-and a lot of stuff I run will be worn, but I feel they are just scarce enough to be a filler piece.  These will be priced accordingly, and yes, there will be "or best offer". For all of you who have been to my listings before, welcome back, it's nice to see you again, and to anyone who hasn't, I bid you greetings! 

This time up I have a 1996 LP release on the Matador Records label, label #Ole 183-1, of the soundtrack to the movie “Brain Candy”, the film made by members of the comedy troupe, “Kids In The Hall”. I loved KITH, and when the movie came out, I was thrilled. What I wasn’t thrilled about was-it never made it to any theaters around here, so I had to wait until it was released on home video instead. It was worth the wait, at least for me! So, when I saw the soundtrack was getting released, I immediately ordered copies for the record store where I’ve been the past 2 decades, and grabbed a copy for myself. The thing is-I never opened it myself, not until today. I wanted to keep it mint. Or so I thought.

This LP had a vertical seam on the back side’s shrink wrap, and it came to the store that way. So I had my suspicions, and finally broke the seal earlier today to find…this does have some storage wear. No scratches nor scuffs, but some very light storage wear. It sounds great, but I was looking forward to giving an LP a “near mint” grading. Not this time though. Nope, this only gets my E+ grading instead. Dang. That’s my grading though, and my grading is considered non-standard. If you are thinking of placing a bid, please read the paragraph that follows this one, as it contains my gradings and their respective descriptions. It won’t take long to read, please do. By the way, there are 17 tracks on the LP, each by a different artist. Too much info for here, but if you need a track list, shoot me a message, and I’ll get it for you. The cover is in excellent shape, though there is some bending at the corners. Hey, it’s been in my crates for over 16 years, something is going to give way eventually. Such is life. If you have any questions or comments, please send them along to me, and you will receive a response. If you need more pictures or description, I can and will be happy to provide!

In case anyone's wondering, here is my scale for grading.  M  Mint.  Reserved for still factory sealed.N- Near Mint, opened, no marks whatsoever.  E+, no marks other than a smudge that i'm too lazy to clean.  E, a light mark or 2, probably won't affect play. (why "probably"?  Because everyone claims their hearing is better than the next persons'.) E-, marks or wear that will cause a little audible affectation.  V+, wear that will cause some distortion of some type.  V, V-, P, well, you get the picture.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NON-U.S. BUYERS!!!!
All items I sell will be sent with a copy of the sale form, printed up from eBay.  I will not "mark item as a gift", just so you can evade import rules.  The people at my post office know me, and they will check overseas packages for inspection.  I hope you will understand my position about this, my apologies if you are not able to comply.

Also, international bidders, the price listed for postage on my listings are for domestic mailing.  I wish I could send overseas for that price, but reality speaks different.  I place a fair price on all international postage.  Watch for the invoice if you win.

ALSO-I need to let international bidders know of a certain problem that doesn't always happen, but will arise from time to time.  All International mail sent from this region has to go through the U.S. Postal Service sorting center in Sandston Virginia, by our local airport.  This sorting center has been named the least efficient sorting center in the entire U.S. Postal Service.  They prove this from time to time by mis-routing packages.  If this happens-and I will monitor the delivery-usually it will add at least an extra week for it to arrive.  If there are any problems, please contact me first, and I will do what I must to make sure you are satisfied with the order.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All items that are sent to a U.S. address will have delivery confirmation (at my cost) attached, as I have found that it helps...a lot!....to ensure that packages are truly en route to the customer.  This is for both of our sakes.  I will be using USPS "Media Mail" as my primary shipping method, however, if needed, and for an extra charge, I can ship with "Priority Mail", and if i can get away with it for the price, I really like 1st Class, but that's weight-dependent.

Oh yes, if you are the winning bidder, and you are in the Commonwealth of Virginia, I'm afraid you are going to have to fork over the 5.3% Virginia State Sales Tax.

Paypal is my preferred method of payment, if you need another way, please contact me before bidding.  Or, if you have any other questions about this listing, or any of my listings, please feel free to contact me.  I will answer any & all questions as quickly and concisely as possible.

Also, I do have other listings available as well, and if you would be interested in more than one item, I have no problem with holding onto wins in case you would like to combine wins to save some money instead of multiple p&h costs.

Ebay has mandated that I include a "handling time" something I had thought was already included.  I usually get records mailed out the day after payment arrives.  But I will let you know that if any listing that is paid for after Friday mornings will have to wait until the following Monday, since I do the majority of packing at work-I have my packing stuff there.  Plus-I won't hound you for payment. As long as people stay in touch, and let me know the interest is still there, don't rush on my account. I don't mind waiting a bit and usually won't send any kind of reminders until after a week-at least-has gone by.  In this economy, the last thing anyone needs is for a seller to come off like a bill collector.  I'll work with you!

I hope that there's someone out there who might like to make this part of your own collection, since that's what I'm here for!  I do appreciate that you did click on my listing and had a chance to check out the goods, thanks again for stopping by!
