ITEM DESCRIPTION
What you are looking at here is Carcass' amazing 2013 album, "Surgical Steel".  

The version for sale in this auction is the ultra limited, hand numbered SUPER DELUXE SURGICAL KIT. Here's what it contains:

1) Hard outer box that houses all contents, and thick red liner to fit 3) below.
2) 2-sided Picture LP, only available in this box set
3) DVD-sized metal box that contains the CD and oversized lyric booklet (CD contains bonus track "Intensive Battery Brooding")
4) Surgical Steel Poster (one that looks like an eye exam poster)

The manufacturer had some issues getting all the pieces inside the box before sealing it, so though the box is sealed, the following are external to the sealed package (and some of these items may be bonus items, above and beyond what should be in the pack).
5) Certificate of Authenticity (this copy is hand numbered 520 out of 750).
6) Cloth patch (bonus?)
7) Sticker (bonus?)
8) Poster (Album cover artwork, bonus?)

This copy is brand new and still sealed!  It sold out in the first few days of preorder from the US Nuclear Blast Store, is now LONG gone!   Fans of the band and collectors alike should be rabid to get their hands on a copy of this beautiful collector's item!  One of the best bands in metal, putting out the best comeback album ever, and this is the biggest, best box set version that it comes in.

PLEASE NOTE: I have included a picture of an unsealed copy in the listing.  This is just for demonstrational purposes so you can see the contents of the package.  The copy for sale is sealed and brand new. The final two pictures listed show the factory seal and the first layer of protective packaging to be used when mailed.  Since the certificate of authenticity was included after sealing the album, I was able to take a picture of it for this auction.

CONDITION
This box set is brand new and still in the factory shrink wrap.  It shows no visible shelf wear, nor any manufacturer's damage.  It's NEW/MINT!  It is not a promo, cutout, Russian bootleg or CDR.  It was released by Nuclear Blast Germany, 2013.  Barcode 7 27361 31489 7.

I do not rate the condition of the album's case unless it is a collectible item or a digipack/slipcase/etc. Regular clear jewelcases are easily replaced, and sadly often end up with minor cracks when sent through the mail. The jewelcases in which the albums I'm selling are contained always function at the very least to protect the artwork and disc, though most of the time they're in fine condition. Occasionally they contain some wear or an incidental crack. I do try to keep this to a minimum whenever possible.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING

For international customers: At the end of January, the USPS raised international postal rates, and they're now ridiculously expensive. I do apologize for these higher new rates, and I realize I will probably lose most of your business. Know that if you do decide to purchase from me, the international postal rates I will charge you will be within $1 of the actual cost the post office charges me.

The size of this item makes shipping a bit expensive.  For international customers, since this is just my best guess at the cost, I will refund to the nearest dollar any amount that is over and above what the USPS charges me.  I will not charge more than this amount, even if the postal service charges me more.

The charges are as follows:
$3.00 for destinations within the US (includes delivery confirmation)
$45.00 for any other location. This covers first class international shipping, and registration. 

Due to the value of this item, I require tracking for secure arrival of this item. For international purchasers, this requires registration, a service that costs a flat fee of $12.95, which is already included in the cost quoted above.

CHECK OUT MY OTHER AUCTIONS AND SAVE ON SHIPPING For US and Canada, shipping for each additional CD is only $1.00 per, and for all other locations each additional CD is only $2.00 per. If you feel you need to insure or track your item, you may do so at your own expense, and you should contact me about the cost prior to payment (I will only charge exactly what the post office will charge me for these services).

PAYMENT
I only accept payments made via Paypal (occasional exceptions allowed, email before bidding). Payment is due within 10 days of the auction's end, unless we agree on a different time frame. If you have any questions about shipping, payment or the condition of the auction item, please don't hesitate to email me.
