Secondhand Record For Sale



Item:  1996 33 1/3 RPM EP, In My Blood Records, IMB 1, Division One Champs by Floorpunch.  This is a Youth Crew Revival, Straight Edge Hardcore Punk record, first pressing on gold vinyl, numbered on the inner sleeve “71/88”.  It’s thought that there were 100 of these made, but only 88 were numbered.  In any event, it’s very rare and highly sought after.  PLEASE SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR A NICE SELECTION OF ART, ANTIQUES AND COLLECTIBLES !!  

Background:  I realize that there’s a registry for copies of this title and that people like to know who the original owner was or is.  It looks like there are about 27 copies of this that are unaccounted for, so now it’s 26 because I found this one (!).  A general line dealer I know (she deals in everything, not just vinyl) sold me a small collection of 90’s hardcore 7” records and this was in that collection.  There were about 100 records total, all with plastic sleeves and looking very well cared for.  She found the collection here in Gloucester County, NJ.  The only clues I have as to who the owner was are the following: He or she bought a lot of the records at the Philadelphia Record Exchange and Repo Records, and one by Small Factory is autographed by band members to Eric and Erik (spelled both ways since it was signed by different band members).  Whoever Eric or Erik was, he went to their show.  Some of the other records in the collection are worth 20 bucks or more, but most are worth less than that and I’ll list those on eBay in ‘lots’ at some point when I get around to it.  The record for sale here was the only one with significant monetary value, which surprised me because I know that many of them were limited pressings, on colored vinyl, etc.

Returns: If an item is deemed “not as described” due to such circumstances as shipping damage or seller’s incorrect description of the item’s condition, it falls under the realm of the eBay Money Back Guarantee. The reason why I don’t have a return policy in addition to the eBay Money Back Guarantee is that return policies cover all other reasons for return (such as the buyer simply changing their mind) but they also require the seller to pay for shipping, which is an expense that I cannot afford, especially in the case of an international transaction.

International Shipping: I sympathize with int’l buyers regarding shipping charges and their country’s Customs fees, but because the value must be declared in order to insure the item for that amount, I’m unable to satisfy the expectations of most buyers in certain countries. If you’re an exception, all you need to do is let me know and hopefully we can work together!


Condition: Records may not function as intended per surface noise, defective playback due to manufacturing defect or scratches, etc. and any extant sleeves/covers often have damage such as flawed edges and odors which may require repair or treatment, so I’m selling the item as being in “For parts or not working” condition. Most records are in scratched condition. See Goldmine Record Album Price Guide, 5th Edition, page 17: “It’s estimated that no more than 2 to 4 percent of all records remaining from the 1950’s and 1960s are truly Near Mint” (and the next grade down from Near Mint is VG+, where light scratches are present). It amazes me that the world of record collecting doesn’t have an official grading company such as in the comic book field (they have CGC), the coin collecting realm (they have PCGS), etc. Until an official 3rd party industry expert comes along, record grading remains subjective and opinions vary due to parties’ differences in audio equipment, etc.
