Copy is unsealed, but mint and unplayed.

Will be shipped in a "frustration-free" type LP mailer with extended edges to protect the record in transit from corner damage to the jacket.


IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING. 95% OF ALL QUESTIONS I AM MESSAGED OR E-MAILED ARE ANSWERED BELOW!

!!COLLECTION LIQUIDATION SALE!!

Out of necessity, I am currently liquidating my entire collection of vinyl, CDs and music-related DVDs, spanning many genres including, but not limited to, metal, punk, new wave, indie and classic rock. This massive collection has been sourced by either buying brand new items, or paying special attention to used item condition. While there are many collectible items in this collection, the main focus of the collection is audiophile, and I have put intense research into sourcing these items so as to acquire the best sounding issue I could reasonably afford. In many cases the issue will be the best sounding copy of the recording in existence. As I did not have time to get around to actually listening to much of this collection, in most cases many of the newer items have been opened, but never played; so they are effectively in "as new" condition. All vinyl is visually graded as I don't have time to play grade a collection of this size.

ABOUT ME

I am committed to accurate descriptions, transparency, and shipping your items fast and as protectively as costs will allow. All items are stored in a pet and smoke free home. All items stored correctly (LPs in poly-sleeves, vertically) and well-cared for.  

DISCOUNTING

Each listing will be started at a fair, competitive price (I don't compete with the big box sellers who usually provide poor item packaging to keep costs down). Each time the item is relisted (every 30 days), the item will be discounted 10%. Please do not contact me asking to negotiate the pricing of any item, or asking for bulk discounts. Each item will be given a chance to sell at the asking price, then gradually discounted month by month until it sells. New items added daily until the entire collection is listed!
                                                                      
PACKAGING

LPs: LP records are shipped in a "frustration-free" type mailer with extended edges. I pay a premium for these mailers, so as to ensure the protection of your vinyl in transit. I have a 100% success rate with this type of mailer, which fits the LP snug between two flaps, is constructed of thick, sturdy cardboard, and most importantly, has extended edges to absorb the impact of postal mishandling. This protects your album jacket from the corner "bumps" and "dings" that are so common these days when LPs are sent through the mail. This is one major reason to buy with me, as very few other sellers offer this kind of packaging.

Please note other types of vinyl (7", 10", box set) or multiple LP purchases (more than 2 or 3, depending) must be sent in other types of packaging other than the above mentioned mailer, but they will be sent well-protected.

CD and DVDs are packaged with cardboard reinforcement (for items $10 and under) or a dedicated sturdy mailer box (items over $10) before being placed inside a bubble mailer. This increased level of protection only slightly increases postage, but ensures your item arrives to you in a well-protected manner.

SHIPPING

Yes, I combine shipping for multiple items! Please note however, that due to my unique and protective packaging materials, only items of similar format (ie CD + CD, LP + LP, 45 + 45, etc.) may be combined in one package. Items of different formats require different packaging and will need to be shipped independently of each other. So, if you are using the "cart" method of shopping, please only group items of similar format in your cart, as each package requires its own unique postage and tracking number.

If you are purchasing multiple items, and are not able to request an invoice from me: (which is sometimes the case, depending on the individual item and its payment requirements), please do not worry - simply purchase and pay for all items, including shipping, and a refund for the difference between your paid and actual shipping will be refunded to your Paypal account within 24 hours.

All items are shipped within one business day of receiving payment (Mon-Fri; I do not ship on Saturdays - items purchased on Friday or Saturday will be shipped the following Monday, excepting holidays).


PAYMENT

I only accept Paypal, via Ebay. Please do not contact me about paying via other methods, or any "off Ebay" purchases.

RETURNS

I do not accept returns, only due to the nature of the items I sell being primarily vinyl records, many of which are new, but unsealed. Please read all listings carefully and mouse over all pictures of the item to make sure of what you are buying. Of course, all buyers are always protected under eBay's policies. If you receive a damaged or defective item, or an item that you feel is not in the condition described, please e-mail me first before leaving feedback so that I can resolve the issue. I am committed to solving any problems you may have with any item you purchase from me, as well as going above and beyond to make sure my customers are happy. Please don't let the fact I don't offer returns dissuade you from purchasing with me. I am committed to your happiness as a much appreciated customer. The nature of my collection just requires that I cannot reasonably offer a return, for instance, on a valuable "like new" or mint LP three weeks after the item has been handled and played, just because a customer "changed their mind" or doesn't want it anymore.

CONTACT

If you need to reach me regarding an item or a purchase in progress, please do so through eBay (using the "contact seller" or "message" features). Messages sent this way are sent directly to my phone, which allows me to respond in a timely fashion. Please do not initiate contact with me by using my e-mail address through an e-mail program outside of eBay, as there may be a significant delay in getting back to you. You may also attach a note to any Paypal purchase you make.

Thank You!
