ALL BUYERS - PLEASE READ THE LISTING COMPLETELY! There's nothing logical or fair when a buyer blindsides a seller with negative feedback because the buyer hasn't read the listing! For example, if the auction is for a large group of LPs and I clearly state the shipping is $6.99 and to wait for my invoice, don't send $3.99! If I state the items are in VARYING conditions and need cleaned, DON'T assume that they're mint. If I state the record(s) are ROUGH, then don't assume they are nice - they're ROUGH. If I don't mention a poster or sticker or other extra item that might have been included with the original item when it was new, don't assume it's there! If I state the record has marks and scuffs (or scratches) it DOES. This is simple: if you are unsure about a detail, ASK A QUESTION BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS. If you're still unsure, DON'T BID. My highest priority is your satisfaction with the item, but if you make assumptions that aren't stated in the listing, it always leads to problems and there's not much I can do. (And if you're the type who just enjoys leaving negative feedback even when the seller is not at fault, how about just taking your business elsewhere. OK?) Thanks.      ALL INTERNATIONAL (ALL NON-USA) BIDDERS MUST CONTACT ME PRIOR TO BIDDING. YOU MUST BE WILLING TO ACCEPT ALL RISK OF LOSS/DAMAGE IN WRITING IF YOU WANT 1st CLASS SHIPPING. OTHERWISE, PRIORITY MAIL ONLY! DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE!  ALSO, READ THE SHIPPING COST SECTION AS IT DISCUSSES CONDITIONS OF FIRST CLASS VS. PRIORITY MAIL INSURED SHIPPING!
COMBINED SHIPPING: 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 requested within three days. After 7 days a combined invoice will be sent, and UNPAID ITEM CASES will be opened automatically by Ebay on DAY EIGHT. (It's the only way I can manage this volume of transactions.)  I try to keep my shipping rates competitive and standard.  

ARTIST: Milton Delugg TITLE:  "Monsters, Munsters, Mummies, TV Fiends""
VINYL: NM, paper slide shadows and little sleeve residue, beauty. Sticker on label COVER: VG++, faint wear, sticker front OTHER: EPIC white label Promo! Rare!
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 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. 
 
I pack all shipments 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 is $1.00. Items typically ship within 1 day of receipt of payment. (The $3.99 rate is competitive and barely covers my costs.  I would hope that buyers wouldn't have a problem with this at feedback time; if you do, let's 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  ACCEPTS ALL RISK OF LOSS OR DAMAGE IN WRITING (Or you can wait 60 days for shipping; the risks are just too high).  Please DO NOT send a payment with only first class shipping included unless we have discussed this. 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. I guarantee fairness from my end; please just return the favor. 



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