Special note to foreign bidders: I declare foreign shipments as merchandise with the value you bid for them. Shipment to foreign buyers is via priority mail international with insurance for the value bid. Please e-mail for shipping costs before bidding as this method costs more, but is insurable and trackable. Example: United Kingdom 0-1 pounds $26.50 + $1.00 box/tape/pack = $27.50.
Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

Feedback/bidding policy: I check feedback daily and will return feedback promptly. Although I go to great lengths to accurately describe my items, if you feel the merchandise is not as described, e-mail me BEFORE leaving feedback and we will resolve it. Please note I do allow returns (see return policy below).

Description: Up for your consideration is a unique 45 RPM from Arlie Duff. I have seen the type of music for this artist described as "Rockabilly."
The item is further described below, please read the detailed description before bidding.
A few things make this item unique:
First, this item retains the original shine with a few light marks on the "so close" side.
I did take the time to play this disc and found the two sides to audibly average about 1/3 of the way between VG+(excellent) and Near Mint. You can assign your own grade based on my comments below.

Secondly, at the time of this listing, one past sale on e-bay for $41!
So this is your chance to own a unique item at a reasonable price.
Please explore the "Me" link above(next to feedback rating) to check out my store and some of the 15,000+ records / books / CD's / cassettes I have for sale as well as the LP to CD transfer service I offer.

I am using the Goldmine scale of G=Good(1), VG = Very Good(2), VG+ = Very Good Plus(excellent)(3), NM = Near Mint(4) when grading the disc(s).

Here is a summary of the record(s):

• NM(4) = absolutely nothing wrong at all (very rarely happens--I've even opened sealed records and they don't play Near Mint)
• 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 would ship this in a 12"x10"x3" box wrapped in bubble wrap. Weight with box is about 9 ounces. Normally, shipping costs are: Media Rate $2.38 (0-1 lbs.) Box/tape $1.00, delivery confirmation $.80 = $4.20. However, for this auction shipping costs within the U.S. via USPS Media Rate with delivery confirmation is FREE!

Buyer pays shipping/handling. Standard method within U.S. is Media Rate, FREE. This includes delivery confirmation which enables you to track shipping of your package online. Outside U.S., e-mail location to determine S/H costs prior to auction end. Other methods of shipping cost extra. Payment received within ten days of auction ending. Payment via Paypal preferred.

Thanks for stopping by and good luck with the bidding!
