Special note to foreign bidders: PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING!! IN PURCHASING THIS ITEM, YOU ARE AGREEING THERE ARE NO REFUNDS FOR ANY REASON ON FOREIGN SHIPMENTS. In order for me to ship out of the U.S., it is much more effort and expense.

1. Because of this, I do not ship to foreign buyers if the value of the item is less than $20.
2. For items $20-$50, I can ship First class International to buyers with perfect feedback. This method is NOT insurable or trackable, but costs less. Weight must be less than 4 pounds.
3. For items $50-$100, I would ship via priority mail international with insurance for the value bid. Some countries do not allow insurance. Please e-mail for shipping costs before bidding as this method costs more, but is insurable (usually) and trackable.
4. For items > $100, it will have to go some method that can be signed for. Global Express, probably, it is expensive!

Description: Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique Lps, this one featuring a rare 9 volume (COMPLETE SET!) of the Christian Reformed Church - Dordt College Concert Band - Dordt College Concert Choir - Dordt College Chorale.

A few unique things about this item:
Firstly, these records retain the original shine with no visible imperfections  grading by sight in normal room light.  I'm sure if you took these and put them under a 1000 watt bulb, you'd probably find something that makes them less than mint.  If you're that kind of collector, let me suggest this auction is not for you.

I don't claim these records are mint.  Based on past experience and visual examination, I'd expect the tracks to average around half way between VG+(excellent) and Near Mint perhaps with some scattered very light surface noise such that might be heard on just about any record of this age.  If you want an audio grade of an entire record, no problem, just drop me a note well in advance of the end of auction.  You can then assign your own grade based on my comments on what I heard and the GRADING SCALE BELOW!.     

Keep in mind how it plays for me may differ than how it plays for you based on differences in audio equipment. 

Secondly, at the time of this listing, a few SINGLE copies of volumes 1,2,3 found out on e-bay priced from $788 to $1388!  This auction is for all 9 discs, a complete set.  NO COMPLETE SETS FOUND FOR SALE OUT ON THE INTERNET!  If you want individual records for $30 + ship, drop me a message thru e-bay and I'll create a separate e-bay listing for that.

So this is your chance to own a unique item at a reasonable price.  Bid early and often so you don't miss out on this auction!   

It is further described below, please take the time to read before bidding.

Additional criteria I use when audibly grading records for people:

• 3.5-3.9 = very, very light surface noise
• 3.1-3.4 = very light surface noise, very light pops
• VG+(3) = up to light pops and light surface noise (below this, one's enjoyment is affected, very subjective)
• VG(2) = up to medium pops and moderate surface noise
• G(1) = up to heavy pops and heavy surface noise

I can ship in a  14 x 14 x 6" box. Weight with box is about 5 pound 8 oz. Shipping is $6.34 Media Rate (5-6 pounds) + $1.70 box/tape/packing  = $8.04.
