Prices can be lowered with multiple purchases:  5% OFF each auction price for two auctions, 10% OFF each auction price for three auctions, and 15% OFF each auction price for four auctions.  As always, I combine auctions whenever possible to get the lowest legal shipping rate.  Wait for my invoice if you expect to win or buy more than one of my auctions.

I am thinning out my record collection.  This auction is for two 33 1/3 rpm vinyl record albums by Neil Young.  I bought Freedom as a new album at the time it was released and Ragged Glory soon thereafter as a used album.  Neither record has been played more than three times because I tape the songs I like and listen to those.

When deciding whether to remove an album from my skip-and-warp-free collection, I listen to it all the way through to make sure there are no repeating pops.  Light scratches are acceptable if they are inaudible at loud volume.  I am using the industry standard Goldmine Records Grading System of four grades:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.

Freedom.  Reprise Records 1-25899, copyright 1989.

vinyls:  NM

cover:  NM

sleeve:   NM  original with words

Ragged Glory.  Reprise Records 9 26315-1, copyright 1990.  With Crazy Horse for that raw, punk-metallic-garage band sound.

vinyl:   VG+  some light random pops can be heard at loud volume but not at normal volume

cover:  VG+   stress lines along left edge, very light surface wear

sleeves:   NM   original glossy black; no spine splits!

SUMMARY

One record is NM and one is VG+; one cover is NM and one cover is VG+; both sleeves are original and NM.  The opening bid for these two albums in overall very excellent condition is $7.

SHIPPING

Vinyl record albums can be shipped using cheap USPS Media Mail which the buyer must pay for.  Signature Confirmation is recommended if there is a chance that your package might be stolen.  I am not responsible for stolen items, only for delivery to your address.  Message me before paying if interested in purchasing Signature Confirmation for $2.55.  This auction is limited to delivery within the forty-eight contiguous States.

PACKAGING

Shipments are armored with extra corrugated cardboard and protected from moisture by plastic bags.

FEEDBACK

I leave feedback as soon as I’ve shipped the items, and my only concern is that the buyer pays within one week of the close of the auction.  If payment has not been made within four days of the auction’s close, I will send one invoice reminding the buyer that only three days remain in order to receive positive feedback from me.  Sending an invoice is an extra step that is unnecessary so please try to pay within four days of the auction’s closing.  If payment has not been made within sixteen days, eBay will be automatically informed and your access to all sellers will be jeopardized.
