PLEASE: Wait for an invoice, especially if you are bidding on multiple items. Charge for packing materials (new 12x12x6 boxes and packing peanuts) is $2.00 in addition to Media Mail postage. On higher priced items I don't mind absorbing the price of materials, but when a records sells for $5.00, eBay takes $0.50, PayPal takes $0.25, new packaging $3.00, so I just made $1.25 before figuring other overhead costs. Thanks for your consideration.
This item will ship USPS Media Mail (2-6 days) unless otherwise requested.
USPS First Class International for one 10" record is about $18
Please check my other auctions and be aware that in the coming days and weeks I’ll be offering hundreds of collectible 78rpm records of all types. All of these items are from the collection and estate of Peter G. Leavitt of Pittston, Maine. Pete was a well known dealer of vintage recorded music for over thirty years.
I worked for Pete off and on for over fifteen years and try to be as conservative in my grading as he was so, satisfaction is guaranteed or you money back per eBay's 14 day return policy. If you have any issue at all with quality, grading, or shipping costs, let me know. We'll work out a refund, a credit or a replacement record. Have a look at my feedback before you bid
