Condition of Record: NM. As close to Mint as NM gets: not a mark, no spindle wear or wear of any kind at all. Only dust that formed was from static, when I removed the record from its original plastic sleeve to shoot the photos.
Condition of Cover: Front completely unmarked, with no bends or crimping; near perfect. Belly band with japanese writing attached. Back cover also excellent, all photos and text clean and clear. Spine text, at very top and bottom, a little worn. Closed end corners not at all bumped; show a tiny bit of wear. Open-end corners perfect. Top horizontal edge has a quarter-inch of wear; bottom horizontal edge shows more shelfwear.
I'm the original owner of the record. I have carefully kept it stored upright on a shelf, away from sunlight, in its sleeve and cover.
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 LP will be carefully placed in the standard cardboard LP box. If you want cardboard inserts for extra reinforcement, please say so.
Payment: Although Ebay now processes payments directly, I also accept Paypal. I accept cash in cases of in-person deliveries.
Returns: Returns will be accepted in cases of error in description.
