Self Portrait- unusual Mexican version, Bob Dylan album

$

30

This is the Mexican pressing (Columbis Records) of the 1969 Bob Dylan album Self Portrait. Unlike the US version, this is a single album instead of a double, so it does not contain all the songs that the US version has. The front and back covers differ from the US version and the printing is all in Spanish. The songs of course, are the original Dylan takes. I bought this in Mexico in 1971 and it was only played once, so the album is in great shape. Ask any questions before bidding, please.

Because Ebay is asking for a flat rate which is virtually impossible to give, my page is showing rates for domestic and foreign shipping that in some cases, may not be realistic. The rates Ebay is giving may not be the actual rates. The ship rates will be determined after the auction is completed and a realistic rate can be calculated. If it’s not clear to you that the ship rate may be higher, or possibly lower, then please do not bid on the item.

Unless you send me an e-mail statement that you understand I’m not responsible for a lost item, anyone who pays for their item with Paypal can buy Delivery Confirmation (relatively cheap at 80 cents) or insurance, which is something I had always tried to offer as an option, not a demand. Be aware that if you do not request insurance or Delivery Confirmation, I can’t be responsible for articles lost by the US Post Office.

Yes, I do ship overseas, but the new Ebay requirements for ship rates in advance are not feasible, so your rate will be determined after the auction has ended. Since overseas buyers don’t have insurance available to them, it is suggested they buy the Registered Mail option which can unfortunately add $15-20 to the total cost. For overseas buyers, I would instead suggest alternate payment methods from now on as it looks like Paypal may not be feasible, unless you want to pay the additional costs.

UPDATE: Packages are rarely lost, but an item going to France was recently lost by the Post Office. A buyer named Stephane made a claim against me, even though my description above clearly outlines the situation. This means I will no longer be able to accept Paypal payments from foreign buyers, unless you’re willing to buy the rather expensive Registered Mail option, because there is no other way I’m covered in case of loss. I am not refusing bids from foreign buyers as many other Ebay sellers have, but be aware- if you are a foreign buyer, it may be expensive to ship your item.

 -----------------------U.S. buyers in the Midwest pay $4 shipping & handling, Eastern and Western States pay $6, PayPal available (see above), but ask me about alternate payment methods.  Foreign buyers pay in US funds only!

I’ll also combine on shipping for a better rate if you win multiple items from me.

I will try to ship at the best rate and if the ship rate turns out to be several dollars less than anticipated, I will try to send a refund through Paypal. Let me know if you need it shipped Priority instead of the less expensive Parcel rate. A buyer actually gave me a negative recently when I shipped parcel, even though I had sent him a $5.00 shipping refund!
