Jimmy Eat World Static Prevails LP + 7" 1st Pressing LP: EX-/VG+ 7": NM-

$

46

This auction is for a copy of the original pressing of Jimmy Eat World's second studio album and major label debut Static Prevails, released in 1996. Included in the auction price is the bonus 7" EP available only with this LP. This was purchased new by me at the time it was released and the LP was played somewhat regularly but not mistreated. The 7" was played only a single time and looks that way.

Money issues are forcing me to sell off my records, and I'm pricing this to move, with a low reserve. I'm not a dealer and these are my own records lovingly cared for over the years.

My goal is to ensure that a bidder knows exactly what he or she will be receiving upon winning the auction, so please check out the photos, and ask any questions you might have prior to placing a bid.

Shipping for this item will be the actual calculated cost of the service you select, plus $10 to cover packing it properly (a necessity when shipping expensive vinyl), insurance, and signature confirmation. I consider the insurance to be for both my protection and yours, and the robust packaging is non-negotiable.

When shipping vinyl, this is my packing process:
1. Records are removed from the outer picture sleeve and any printed inner sleeve, and placed in standard plain white sleeves (the type with die-cut label holes in the center on both sides) for travel outside the picture sleeve. (This is to prevent seam splitting in transit).
Printed inner sleeve and/or any other insert material goes back in the outer sleeve for travel.
2. Everything is then placed in a heavy-duty poly bag, and taped up securely (so that the contents will fare better in the event that the package gets wet or is exposed to weather en route).
3. The item is securely sandwiched between very sturdy 12.5"x12.5" 3-ply chipboard stiffeners (these are primarily to protect the corners of the picture sleeve from damage in transit, but also make it less likely that the entire package can be bent or warped, while also adding a layer of protection against damage from sharp objects).
4. If you're receiving fewer than ~5 standard LPs with sleeves, your item(s) will be packed snugly and shipped in a well-sealed quality LP mailer box. For any orders requiring a larger box, bubble wrap will fill any space not consumed by the items, to ensure that there is no movement of contents once the box is sealed up and on its way.

Satisfied buyers are more important than any individual sale, so I strive to be accurate and fair in all steps of the process: in listing and pricing an item; conducting a transaction; preparing a sold item properly for safe transit (as described above); and shipping it promptly. I try to respond to messages, questions, and concerns quickly and to communicate effectively. However, if after receiving an item from me, you feel less than satisfied for any reason, please contact me to discuss before posting negative or neutral feedback. I strive to ensure that anyone who wins one of my auctions is happy with his or her purchase, and will take any reasonable actions that necessitates.

Revised 09/09/2014 to lower the reserve. Also, the shipping is too high--it should be actual cost + $5 not $10. I couldn't change this in an active auction, but if you win this item, don't pay until I send you a revised invoice and I will lower the shipping.
