Welcome to my auction!  I apologize in advance for blurry photos: I'm no pro and the lighting in my house poses problems; having said that, these are the actual items listed; if you have any questions about any issue, please feel free to contact me via the links provided. 
As for grading:  I try to be fairly conservative, but again, I'm no pro---I don't judge paper scuffs and small lines very harshly, but if I say it's NM then you should be in for a treat; I have a little difficulty deciding between VG+ and VG on occasion (when a record may have a cut out but otherwise be in perfect condition), but when there's an issue, I've tried to add a photo. 
Hope you enjoy and please keep coming back; I will continue to add rare and out of print titles, as well as generally obscure and hard to find rock and roll (and occasional other treats)!  Good Luck Bidding!!!

FOR SALE:     A.F.I.  "Black Sails in the Sunset"--purple marbled wax  FIRST PRESSING OF 300????
Label: Nitro Records
Condition: I opened this sealed Lp tonight before listing to confirm the color---I didn't realize there were so many variants and did not want to leave anyone uninformed...The record is NEW and NEVER PLAYED (seal opened 04/13/14) and remains in the shrink wrap.  The wax and sleeve are both in Mint condition, save there is a square cutout of the shrink wrap that was present when I purchased the record--don't know what was there, but likely a sticker of some sort.  I CANNOT CONFIRM THAT THIS IS FROM THE FIRST PRESSINGS IN 1999 ON COLORED WAX, THOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE IT TO ME (looking at afinewshq.com); THERE WAS ALSO A PURPLE PRESSING IN 2012 SO IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO GUARANTEE, BUT SERIOUS COLLECTORS TAKE NOTE, AND FEEL FREE TO ASK ME QUESTIONS.  I cannot find any mention of 2012 on my pressing, but that doesn't mean anything, and I could be looking in the wrong place.  CHEERS!
INFO: arguably AFI's best record, this beautiful color variant isn't done justice by my photos...the bedroom light is too yellow and impacts just how beautiful the PURPLE MARBLING is---epic record! epic pressing!  SUPER RARE AND OOP!  
Shipping:   I ship Media Rate in the US and will ship internationally; not sure if these listings are automatically enrolled in the eBay Global Shipping Program, if not, and you are outside the US, please be aware that I will invoice you after the close of the auction with accurate shipping costs.  I reserve the right to refuse sales to some international buyers simply because shipping cannot be trusted--when in doubt CONTACT ME IN ADVANCE.  
I pack securely and always ship the Lp outside of the outer-sleeve to prevent seam-splitting; I try to ship within 3 days of payment via PayPal.
Thanks in advance!  My goal is to share some of the wild music I've collected over the years; many of these records are hard to part with, but I trust they are finding great new homes!!!  If you have any concerns upon purchase, please contact me immediately.  
CHEERS AND HAPPY BIDDING!
