ALL INTERNATIONAL (ALL NON-USA) BIDDERS MUST CONTACT ME PRIOR TO BIDDING. DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE!  ALSO, READ THE SHIPPING COST SECTION AS IT DISCUSSES FIRST CLASS VS. PRIORITY MAIL INSURED SHIPPING!
ALL BIDDERS: READ THE LISTING COMPLETELY, SO THAT THERE ARE NO MISUNDERSTANDINGS OR INCORRECT EXPECTATIONS!


I combine shipping for UP TO ONE WEEK from the date of the first win! Each additional record in the same package ships for $1.00. Payment on single purchases is expected within three days. I have unfortunately been threatened with and received negative feedback by late- and non-paying buyers when I ask them to pay after 7 days, so be aware that UNPAID ITEM CASES will be opened automatically by Ebay on DAY EIGHT.  My shipping rates are competitive and standard, but if they aren't acceptable to you, please do not bid. 

Artist: LED ZEPPELIN
Title:  "First Album"

VINYL: VG++/NM, couple small and very faint hairline marks COVER: NM, beauty, just a hint of wear
OTHER: SD 8216, gorgeous copy
Grading: Vinyl is graded NM / VG++ / VG+ / VG / VG- / G.  (Near Mint is the highest grade I use for an opened record. It will be CLOSE TO NEW or may have a very faint, inconsequential mark or a couple paper slide shadows. A VG++ record is beautiful, with only very faint signs of use, possibly a couple faint marks,  and is the same as "Excellent" in some grading scales. A VG+ has been played but well cared-for; the record has light marks. A VG record has received a good amount of play and has light scratch marks and scuffs, still decent gloss, and should be very playable with some audible imperfections. VG- has heavier marks/wear, more prominent scratches, surface noise. A G record appears rough; probably still playable but likely to exhibit significant surface noise.

NOTE! READ CAREFULLY! All records graded VISUALLY under very strong light. GRADE IS BASED UPON VISUAL INSPECTION ONLY; WITH AN AVERAGE OF OVER 100 LPs CONTINUALLY LISTED, I DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY THEM.  If you are not comfortable with a record that has not been play-graded, please DO NOT BID. In other words, I am describing how the record LOOKS, not how it SOUNDS, and I would not expect the buyer to ask to return the LP based on how it sounds. (That also means I am not responsible for how the disc was mastered, pressed, recorded, or the quality of the vinyl used by the manufacturer!)There should be NO reason for a buyer to ask to return an LP because he/she doesn't like the sound; I am NOT representing how the record sounds, only how it looks.
 
All shipments packed in new, custom record mailers with stiffeners/spacers. (I usually do NOT mention the inner sleeve condition unless it's destroyed).


SHIPPING:

US Shipping is via Media Mail. First LP $3.99,  includes delivery confirmation.   EACH ADDITIONAL LP from this group is $1.00.  I don't play games with shipping cost, such as advertising a $2.77 rate and then charging you for confirmation and handling at invoice time. The rate you see is the rate you pay (plus $1.00 for each add'l LP). Items typically ship within 1 day of receipt of payment. Payment is expected within 3 days. (This rate is competitive and barely covers my costs.  I would not expect buyers to have a problem with this at feedback time; if you do, please discuss up front).

Canada shipping:      1st class $8.00 for first LP, $2.00 each add'l.  (Double sets count as 2 records).  Priority is about $22 for 1-3 records, $2 for each additional.
                                     5 or more LPs, or total values above $20,  MUST ship Priority.  See note above about shipping terms if paid with Paypal.                                   

Overseas Shipping:  FIRST CLASS - Single LPs $15, double LPs $19, each additional record $4.
                                                                There is NO insurance or tracking with first class mail.  If the item is returned to me by your country's customs or post,
                                                                I WILL NOT refund your shipping costs! I will re-ship at my exact cost, but buyer will pay that cost! This is my contract
                                                                with you; if not acceptable, please do not bid.  See note above about shipping when using PAYPAL.
                                   PRIORITY MAIL -Combined shipments of  5+ LPs or shipment values over $20 MUST ship Priority Mail. First single LP is $32,
                                                                    additional is approx $2.  PRIORITY MAIL PROVIDES INSURANCE AGAINST LOSS OR DAMAGE. IT DOES
                                                                    NOT PROTECT BUYER OR SELLER IN CASE OF CUSTOMS PROBLEMS.  I WILL NOT
                                                                    REFUND SHIPPING COSTS IN THE EVENT THAT YOUR CUSTOMS RETURNS THE ITEM! I WILL RE-SHIP                                                                      AT MY EXACT COST, BUT BUYER WILL PAY THAT COST! See note above about shipping when using PAYPAL.
                                                                    This is my contract with you; your bid indicates acceptance of these terms. If not acceptable, PLEASE DO NOT BID!
                                   
                   

IMPORTANT! INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS MUST READ!  Even though the shipping quote within Ebay  may say "$15.00", shipments fitting "Priority Mail" criteria above or bidders unwilling to accept all risk of loss/damage WILL NOT SHIP FIRST CLASS MAIL!   I WILL NOT SHIP FIRST CLASS MAIL UNLESS BIDDER AGREES TO  WAIT 60 DAYS FOR SHIPMENT.  DO NOT send a payment with only first class shipping included unless we have discussed this...I will NOT accept it, it just wastes everyone's time, and then causes hard feelings.  THERE HAVE BEEN TOO MANY CLAIMS OF NON-RECEIVED AND DAMAGED SHIPMENTS TO INTERNATIONAL GEOGRAPHIES, as well as customs problems in which items were returned for no reason, unclaimed, or duties unpaid. Wait for my invoice! IF NOT ACCEPTABLE, DO NOT BID! BIDDERS FROM ALL NON-USA GEOGRAPHIES ARE REQUIRED TO CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING!

A quick note about feedback: I REALLY appreciate every positive feedback and every 5-star DSR that I receive. I try to earn each one with fair grading, expert packing, and quick shipping. I have reasonable return policies in the rare case that you may be unhappy with your purchase or we disagree about the description of the item. A very FEW buyers have taken advantage of the feedback system to demand concessions that are NOT in the listing; things like demanding that I pay for return shipping,  that I accept a return over 30 days after the auction, special packing, or the latest...the guy who demanded a full refund but wouldn't return the item. I have recently had several very costly situations in which buyers complained about their item, filed Paypal claims, and then returned a DIFFERENT item than I sent them. Aside from being fraudulent, these things are not reasonable, and are unfair to the great majority of buyers who play by the rules. In these cases, I have and will take a negative rather than being bullied into unreasonable concessions. Thanks to all who play fairly and honestly.



Finally, thanks for all of your business past and future!
