Condition of Cover: Front of box is a bit discolored, the powder blue having faded a little. All text and design elements are clean, with one half-inch scratch, lower right, leaving a small white mark. Blue paper part of back cover also a little age-worn, but all text is clean, unmarked. Spine still enables box to be opened properly, though paper wraparound (which acts as seal, still affixed to cardboard) shows a crack for much of its length. All spine text fine, with only bottom edge bumped. At open end of box, top corner bumped and a bit bent; bottom corner just bumped. Horizontal edges: top good, with cardboard only at corner slightly separated (where aforementioned bump is, at open end); bottom is similarly slightly separated, this time at spine end.
I'm an independent seller divesting his own record collection. I'm not selling from a store or warehouse, with multiple copies of titles, or on behalf of a professional collector.
Shipping: Ebay requires seller to indicate shipping methods and other particulars, then automatically inserts the cost at the top of the listing. Buyer will pay amount as determined by destination, by shipping method he chooses, and by required insurance (see: below); I don't gouge the price to make more profit. (USPS Media Mail is cheapest; I will provide prices for US Priority, or for FedEx or UPS ground, if requested.)
Insurance is mandatory on shipments to US addresses: The final price of the item determines the amount of insurance required. Please wait till I inform you of your total cost prior to submitting payment. It and not Ebay's stated cost is the amount to be paid.
**For winners outside US**: USPS shipping options are International Priority and International Express. Both methods include insurance but only Express provides a return receipt. (Check USPS's website for shipping prices.) If you want a private-company shipper, I will quote you the cost at end of auction. First-Class-Package service, which doesn't include insurance, is an option; the shipping cost will be lower, but if your item doesn't arrive you have no recourse. The risk is yours.
Packing: The box set will be carefully placed in the standard cardboard LP box. If you have any special instructions, please say so.
Payment: Ebay now processes payments directly. I no longer accept payment by Paypal. I do accept cash in cases of in-person deliveries.
Returns: Returns will be accepted in cases of error in description.
