THE OFFS

TITLE: "FIRST RECORD"

CONDITION VINYL: AS IT IS CLEAR VINYL IT IS HARD TO TELL BUT JUDGING BY THE COVER IT IS PROBABLY NEAR MINT. PICTURE OF VINYL AT TOP OF LISTING.

CONDITION COVER: I JUST TOOK THE SHRINKWRAP OFF THIS RECORD SO IT HAS BEEN PROTECTED. THERE IS ONE NEARLY INVISIBLE CREASE ON THE SPINE, A FEW VERY VERY VERY SMALL CREASES ON TOP EDGE, AND A COUPLE OF CREASES ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. THERE IS NO LOSS OF COLOR WHATSOEVER. ALTHOUGH BARELY WORTH MENTIONING, THERE IS A VERY SLIGHT DING IN UPPER RIGHT CORNER (VERY VERY SMALL), AND EDGEWEAR OF LESS THAN 1/4 INCH ON BOTTOM EDGE RIGHT AT WHERE YOU PUT THE RECORD IN. AS THE COVER WAS IN SHRINKWRAP I AM ASSUMING THAT THE COVER IS EXACTLY THE WAY IT CAME FROM THE PRESSING PLANT.

JEAN MICHEL BASQUIAT'S ARTWORK GOES FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND THIS IS UNDOUBTABLY THE ONLY RECORD COVER HE HAS EVER DONE. IT IS A TRULY COLLECTIBLE PIECE.

PLEASE LOOK AT MY OTHER PUNK/ HARDORE (AND A FEW METAL CROSSOVER) LISTINGS THAT I AM RUNNING AT THIS TIME. BID ON MORE THAN ONE ITEM AND SAVE ON SHIPPING!!!

OUR RECORD STORE IN PORTLAND OREGON HAS THE LARGEST SELECTION OF PUNK HARDCORE AND RELATED LPS AND CDs ( AND 7 INCHES) IN THE STATE. IF YOU ARE IN PORTLAND, PLEASE DROP BY THE STORE AND I THINK YOU WILL FIND IT WORTHWHILE.

THE RATES ARE AS FOLLOWS.

SHIPPING TO U.S. ADDRESSES IS VIA MEDIA MAIL. EBAY IS REQUIRING RECORDS TO BE SHIPPED MEDIA MAIL FOR SHIPPING QUOTE PURPOSES. RATE IS $4.00 FOR 1ST RECORD (OR 12 INCH) AND $1 FOR EACH ADDITIONAL RECORD. DOUBLE RECORDS COUNT AS 2 RECORDS. I CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST OR DAMAGED PACKAGES UNLESS YOU TAKE OUT POSTAL INSURANCE. THE POST OFFICE RATES FOR INSURANCE ARE AS FOLLOWS: UP TO $50 IS $1.75, OVER $50 AND UNDER $100 IS $2.25, OVER $100 AND LESS THAN $200 IS $2.75. YOU WILL HAVE TO ALLOW A FAIR AMOUNT OF TIME FOR PACKAGES TO ARRIVE DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCATION. I SHIP VERY QUICKLY HOWEVER. IF YOU WANT PRIORITY MAIL INSTEAD THE YOU WILL NEED TO EMAIL ME (USE THE EBAY MESSAGE SERVICE) AND GIVE ME YOUR ZIP CODE AND I WILL HAVE TO QUOTE YOU THE RATE. THE RATE WILL BE $2.50 FOR MATERIALS AND HANDLING PLUS EXACT POSTAGE. ( SAME RULES APPLY TO LOST PACKAGES AND INSURANCE AS MEDIA MAIL.) UNLESS I HEAR FROM YOU THE MAILING WILL DEFAULT TO MEDIA RATE. NOTE: IF PACKAGE DOESN'T ARRIVE OR IS DAMAGED AND YOU HAVE INSURANCE IT CAN TAKE A WHILE TO GET THE MONEY FROM THE POST OFFICE SO THERE MIGHT BE A WAIT IN THIS SITUATION. IT'S JUST THE POST OFFICE AFTER ALL AND A SOMEWHAT POOR SITUATION INDEED. REMEMBER, I CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST PACKAGES UNLESS YOU HAVE INSURANCE. HOWEVER PACKAGES ARE LOST INFREQUENTLY.

SHIPPING TO CANADA IS VIA U.S. POST OFFICE. ALL PACKAGES ARE SENT AIRMAIL AND TAKE FOREVER TO ARRIVE. CANADIAN SHIPPING IS $6.99 FOR THE 1ST SINGLE VINYL/ 12 INCH AND $3.00 FOR EACH SINGLE LP/12 INCH THEREAFTER.

ANOTHER SPECIAL CASE IS MEXICO ALL PACKAGES ARE SENT AIRMAIL THERE IS NO SURFACE MAIL AVAILABLE. SHIPPING RATE WHICH INCLUDES PACKAGING AND HANDLING AS ALWAYS IS $10 FOR THE 1ST LP AND $3 FOR EACH ADDITONAL SINGLE VINYL OR 12 INCH. DOUBLES COUNT AS 2 ETC.. PLEASE BEWARE, ON MEXICO PACKAGES YOU BID AT YOUR OWN RISK BUT I DO EVERYTHING I CAN AT THIS END TO SEE THAT YOU GET THE RECORD. INSURANCE NOT AVAILBLE TO MEXICO ACCORDING TO THE U.S POST OFFICE.

AIRMAIL SHIPPING TO ALL OTHER WORLDWIDE LOCATIONS IS $13 FOR THE 1ST LP (OR 12 INCH) AND $3.00 FOR EACH ADDITIONAL LP (OR 12 INCH). DOUBLE LPS COUNT AS 2 LPS ETC. THE U.S. POST OFFICE NO LONGER OFFERS SURFACE SHIPPING OVERSEAS.

INTERNATIONAL

INSURANCE

INSURANCE IS AVAILABLE BUT AT A HIGH PRICE DO TO THE U.S. POST OFFICE REGULATIONS. THEY REQUIRE YOU TO SEND A DIFFENT RATE CLASS TO INSUFE OVERSEAS PACKAGES. THE RATE CAN BE AS MUCH AS $22 OR MORE WHICH INCLUDES THE RATE CLASS CHANGE AND THE NOMINAL INSURANCE AMOUNT. I'M NOT NECESSARILY SUGGESTING YOU TAKE OUT INSURANCE BUT REMEMBER YOU WILL BE BUYING AT YOUR OWN RISK WITHOUT IT. I CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST OR DAMAGED PACKAGES OVERSEAS UNLESS YOU HAVE INSURANCE. THIS IS HARD AND FAST RULE. JUST BE SURE YOU HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ADDRESS AT PAYPAL AS THAT IS THE ADDRESS I USE (UNLESS YOU DIRECT ME TO SEND IT TO A DIFFERENT ADDRESS). YOU MIGHT GO BACK AND CHECK THE PAYPAL ADDRESS YOU USE AND TWEEK IT IF IT LOOKS A LITTLE OFF. I'M SORRY FOR THE HIGH INSURANCE RATES. THEY ARE SHOCKING BUT THE U.S. POST OFFICE IS PLAIN AND SIMPLY A RIP OFF. I DO THE VERY BEST IN PACKING THESE RECORDS USING HEAVY DUTY MAILER, BUT WHO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT LEAVES PORTLAND.

BE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD SECURE DELIVERY ADDRESS AND BE SURE YOUR PAYPAL SHIPPING ADDRESS IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

RESALE RULE

ITEMS NOT PAID FOR WITHIN 10 DAYS WILL BE RELISTED OR PUT OUT IN RECORD STORE AND BIDDING PRIVILGES REVOKED FOR THE FUTURE.

THIS IS THE ANOTHER REASON YOU SHOULD CONSIDER USING PAYPAL WHICH ONLY REQUIRES SECONDS TO PAY.

THANKS AND EMAIL WITH QUESTIONS AT ANY TIME.

SOMETIMES I TAKE A DAY OFF SO EMAILS MAY SIT FOR 24 HOURS, BUT THIS IS RARE!!!

ATTENTION NEW BIDDERS!!!

PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU INTEND TO FOLLOW THROUGH!!!!!!

THOSE WHO DON'T FOLLOW THROUGH WILL BE UNABLE TO BID IN MY FUTURE AUCTIONS.

I REALLY DO APOLOGIZE FOR THIS

BUT IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM

THANKS VERY MUCH AND I APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT
