I AM SELLING MY RECORD COLLECTION!

This is one of many albums and singles that I will be letting go of in the coming weeks and months. 

Please keep an eye on my other auctions for more vinyl; I have many different artists, genres, etc.   Around 150 items all told in the 12" section plus a couple 10" items, a box set, and a fair number of 7" singles as well.

U2 fans:  the U2 portion of my wares is a collection unto itself.  Keep checking back as it is going to take some time to get everything listed.

About my vinyl auctions: all will start at $0.99 with no reserve, regardless of rarity and/or condition. All pictures will be of the item being sold, no stock and/or generic images, no re-used images from other auctions. International shipping. Combined shipping on multiple auctions won. Other shipping options may be available: if you think there is a less expensive option out there that isn't mentioned in the shipping section, let me know and I will look into it. My arsenal of lp mailers, USPS Priority Mail flats, bubble wrap, cardboard inserts, newspaper, etc, stands at the ready to ensure that every record will go out with the best chance possible of making it to you unscathed. Every item will be described in detail, using the grading system posted online by the Record Collectors Guild, so that you know exactly what you are bidding on. Play testing of the vinyl is, however, impossible as I do not own a turntable. This basic format will be used for all.

eCheck payments: items paid for by eCheck via PayPal will not ship until the payment clears.

International shipping: all customs forms will clearly state the actual contents and the price/value of each (i.e., the winning bid(s)). The "gift" box will not be checked.

More notes on grading:  I will never grade a record as Mint, not even sealed records; Near Mint is as high as I will go. Also, eBay has a grade called "Excellent" which I am unfamiliar with and will also never use. The next grade down from Near Mint is Very Good Plus. Finally, I will never sell a record that I consider to be in Poor condition; the lowest possible grade for a record at auction is Good. All told the possible grades are, in order from lowest to highest, Good - Good Plus - Very Good - Very Good Plus - Near Mint.

On to the item specifics:  this auction is for one (1) U2 All That You Can't Leave Behind 12" vinyl album.

Label: Island
Catalog number: U212/524653-1

This is an interesting package, because it is sealed inside a protective sleeve. It's not cellophane; it's a plastic sleeve heat-sealed at the top.  I've never seen another done this way, but overall it's really nice and is a great way to protect the record, the inserts, and the cover. 

The record is housed inside a plain white sleeve which is itself housed in a plain white cover.  Note that neither the plain white sleeve nor the plain white cover were issued with the album by the manufacturer; these were both added by whomever put the package together (note in the picture of the rear you can't see the back cover, just the record in the white cover).

The original picture sleeve and booklet are housed inside the album cover. 

Cover condition: Presumed to be Near Mint.  Everything I can see is NM anyway. However, as this is a post-production seal job, there is an element of doubt here.

Record(s) condition:  Also presumed to be Near Mint. However, again, as this is a post-production seal job, there is an element of doubt here. It's so nicely done I don't want to open it.

International shipping:  if the shipping calculator doesn't work, please contact me for a quote.  Also, if the shipping calculator does work, it probably only lists Priority Mail International as a shipping option.  Please note that First Class Mail International is available to Australia, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Germany, United Kingdom, Israel, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and New Zealand.  If you live in one of those countries and would like a First Class shipping quote, please contact me.  However, if you're good with a rough and ready estimate, generally First Class costs about half what Priority goes for.
