  3LP Starker Bach Suites for Unaccompanied Cello Complete - Original Mercury Stereo SIGNED

We're in love with this one. Janos Starker's 3 LP Box set signed by Starker to one of his students. Nice clear signature. Guaranteed 100% real. In addition, it's the original pressings on Mercury in Stereo SR3-9016. Cover has wear and two corners in the cover are torn and one part of the seam cover is also torn. Box has the Insert. Records show some light to medium wear under a 100 watt bulb with light scuffs, (record 1 shows some light prints) and visible surface scratches on records so assume light ticks or pops. I didn't see any nail deep scratches and record 1 has more than record 2 or 3 which showed very light scratches. All the labels show some spindle marks. These were played but cared for by someone that was taught by Janos Starker personally. Records would grade VG+/VG++ because of the marks. These are not near mint but you know I wish they were. Just one of the rare cello classical pieces out there. Starting our bid for seven days at a very reasonable price and asking a higher buy it now in case someone has to have this. When was the last time you saw a signed copy?

We look at our records under a 100 watt bulb. This tends to make scratches jump out at us that a 60 watter won't pick up.

See photo(s) to see what you are buying. Recommended: Bid the most you'll spend for this now and let the Ebay Proxibid system bid for you. You'll still get it at the lowest price you bid. Example. You bid $600.00. No one bids higher then $400.00, your proxibid will take it to $402.00 and you win. We had a few customers this week email us asking us to sell them items and they were willing to pay more then the final bid. We don't run that game (You win, You win) but it shows how simple the process can be if you just bid what you'll pay upfront. If you aren't around when it ends, at least you still had a shot to claim the final bid. code:e2-19

Payment via Paypal.com or other acceptable methods between seller and buyer. We do require payment within 24 hours of auction end. If you'd like to pay us some other way other then Paypal.com, please contact us but payment still needs to be sent within 24 hours of auction end.

When it comes to records and other items. We pack items to make sure they get to you safely and as described. As an example, when it comes to records, Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, we then use plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, then we cardboard pad inserts or bubble wrap or both, and records are placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

Other items: Bubble Wrap, Bubble Wrap, Bubble Wrap and sturdy boxes. We do recycle boxes from time to time but we do so only when they are in excellent condition. We make sure you get what you paid for and fast too.

All orders must ship to confirmed Paypal.com addresses. We can accept other forms of payment but contact us before you buy as to what is acceptible.

We will combine shipping costs if you order more then one record or items if possible. We ship all items via USPS OR UPS/Fedex. Shipping and handling in the USA is calculated either by flat fee or estimated weight and is posted in our auctions. See our Ebay auction for your shipping fee.

Outside the USA / Canada / Overseas Shipping / Terms and conditions: If an item sells for more then $249.99, we require that order to ship via Express mail or Registered Mail with Return Receipt Signed.

Handling Charge: If we charge a handling charge, it is to cover our packing materials, travel time to the post office (We drop everything on the counter for tracking purposes) and/or free insurance for your order.

Please give all items a chance to reach you once we post we've shipped your item. All items will post with a tracking number. We've seen overseas air items take about 4 days to 12 weeks with Express Air Mail to reach customers but we've also seen items get held up at customs and take 6 to 16 weeks also. Express is always the best way to ship something because it's recommended by the USPS to be the fastest way to receive your item.
