WELCOME!!

 This album was recently listed by another seller from Colombia. The total for shipping to the US came out to just at $50! I'm offering this great collection for less than half that! And it's in better condition!

Great artists like Lucho Bermudez, Tono Fuentes, Pacho Galan, Edmundo Arias, and more.

For samples of what kind of music is on the album, search completed listings for this title offered by a seller in Colombia. That seller posted half a dozen or more samples.

If you see “HEAR” in the title, head on over to my  to check out the samples I have provided.

 ****Notes on vinyl grading/offers:****

I have recently revised my grading to reflect rather conservative grades in the higher grades. Please see below.

GRADE

SLEEVE

VINYL

Mint/Sealed (Immaculate)

Sealed. Immaculate. Archival quality.

Vinyl is assumed Mint since album is still sealed.

NM: (Extremely Well-Kept)

Near immaculate. Looks as if it were just opened. May have one or two small flaws such as a slight crease or tiny corner bump.

Near flawless. Only one or two allowable surface marks such as a paper scuff. Only occasional dust noise in quiet passages.

EX: (Very Well-Kept)

Slightest signs of shelf or corner wear. No splits. Excellent artwork.

A few very small surface abrasions that may make some very light noise in quiet areas.

VG+: (Average, but very nice)

Light to moderate shelf wear. Hint of ring wear visible in some cases. Corner bumps or creases are visible. MAY have SMALL split near opening edge.

Some light hairlines and paper scuffs that produce audible noise, but is quite faint as compared to the music.

VG: (Slightly mistreated)

Moderate shelf wear that is borderline detracting from artwork and visuals. May have a small split on edge that doesn't exceed 2". Easily repaired or mitigated by a thick inner.

Several hairlines and paper scuffs that start to detract from the audio in some areas. Perfectly playable. Still has decent gloss, but looks well-played.

GOOD: (Abused, but playable)

Seam split that has been repaired/taped. Heavy shelf wear that leaves sleeve feeling abused.

Feelers, tickers, and loud pops will detract from the audio. Loss of gloss is apparent. Plays through, but quite noisy.

POOR: (Was likely used as a Frisbee at some point)

Bad seam splits on several edges. Heavily damaged artwork.

Skips, feelers, loopers... you name it, they're likely all here! Collection filler material only. Read description for details.

 

Most records are visually graded, but I do play grade quite often. Look to above description. I will usually comment on play quality if I do play test it.

I am usually quite open to offers on most items. However, my items are already priced fairly. I don't operate like most eBayers that double the price and accept an offer of half the asking price to make the buyer feel like they got a good deal.

 

I will try to list new items in the first week of the month. I will list a few random items throughout the month.

Combined shipping for records:

Combined shipping: $4 for first LP, $1 for each additional.

Orders totalling over $100 ship for FREE in the US unless noted in above description (E.G. A lot of 70 LPs). Please request an invoice before checkout.

International:

I use eBay's Global Shipping Program for some of my listings. EBay is responsible for the cost, participating countries, and transit times. The program handles all import and shipping fees. Check with your local customs to approximate import fees. Please consult the knowledge base or customer service with questions regarding this program.

 **Sealed Records** <<<READ ME>>>

Some sealed albums have been floating around storage for 50+ years. Who knows what conditions they've been exposed to. I do my best to feel the edge of the vinyl through the sleeve looking for signs of warp/damage.

For obvious reasons, I don't take returns on opened vinyl that is sold as "sealed". It has to be still sealed.

So if you intend to open the vinyl, and would like me to verify its condition before I ship it, please contact me.

  

****Shipping Policies:****

I use USPS as my preferred carrier. I rarely use FedEx for oversize and heavy items. Games, movies and DVDs are sent first class USPS. Vinyls are sent via media mail.

I use eBay's shipping calculator to price almost every item other than records. No additional handling charges are added.

I normally don't insert a packing slip in with the item. If you would like a packing slip, please ask for one in the "notes" section during checkout.



****Feedback policy: **** 
Feedback is a great way for the community to buy with confidence. My idea of feedback is that it's the buyer that really needs to be the happy one. So, following that principle, if you're happy with your purchase, I'm happy with your payment. I find that only about 10-20% of buyers leave feedback at all. Please take the time to leave me feedback and I will quickly and gladly do the same for you. Once a buyer leaves me feedback, I return feedback almost immediately. If the buyer hasn't left feedback after 30 days, I assume they are pleased with the item, and I leave positive feedback.

****Conditions of sale:****

PayPal only. Continental US only. **see below** 

I expect payment within 3 days of the end of the auction. 

All my items are in working condition unless otherwise stated. I do my absolute best to test everything I own. Items are sold as-is. Again, I test everything to the best of my ability. I will specifically mention something in the listing if I can't. (E.G. A feature that is only controllable by remote control and I'm missing the remote.)

If for some reason you feel you need to return something, remember that the buyer is responsible for return shipping. Also, I will not refund the purchase until the buyer cancels the transaction through the resolution center. These are all eBay "best practices". Please understand. I value my score and want to keep it. Please contact me if you have any problems before leaving negative or even neutral feedback. Email with questions or for more pictures, and I will try to answer ASAP.  

International buyers:
International shipping of any music (CDs &LPs) is provided through eBay’s Global Shipping Program ONLY. Please check to see if your country is a participating partner. From what I’ve seen, the cost varies from $12-$25. I don’t “make money” off of the slightly inflated prices eBay charges. I only get $4 that eBay pays me to ship it to their shipping center, and it costs me approximately $4.70 to ship each album.
