158

Hello and Welcome to my latest auction.I am auctioning off some Rare Items from my personal collection.I really hate to part with these but I need the money so now is the time to pass them on to a good home

Ash Ra Tempel- S/T(1971 German Ohr Label. 1st pressing vinyl(56013) in 2nd pressing sleeve(556013)

Krautrock classic personified. Their debut and one of the most deservedly sought after albums of that gendre

Oddly enough, a 1st press vinyl in a 2nd press sleeve. While 2nd press vinyl in 1st press sleeves are quite common as a result of extra sleeves left over from the 1st press, this is the first time I have ever seen a first press in a 2nd press sleeve and wonder if it may have been a result of a previous owner switching records with sleeves. Any info would be helpful

CONDITION OF COVER:VERY GOOD PLUS(Generally a clean sleeve but has seam splits about 2 inches each on top and bottom center of sleeve)

CONDITION OF VINYL:VERY GOOD(Looks Visually VG+ but plays VG. A fair bit of crackle at the beginning of side one during the quiet part but once things get going(and get heavier)you don't notice it. First pressing vinyl of this album is known to be a bit noisy compared to the 2nd press

All Records are Strictly graded and are guarenteed to your satisfaction.Any Problems,we can work it out.Any Questions,feel free to ask.

ALL PRICES ARE IN U.S FUNDS

THE SOAP BOX(YES,I'M AFRAID SO):

BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER,PLEASE READ THIS FIRST:

Over the last year I have had a number of problems with Bidders/Buyers that have gotten increasingly annoying and feel the need to express them here:

(1).POSTAGE RATES:Now that Ebay have introduced a new rule that you have to list postage rates for The US,UK and Austrailia,There should be no more confusion as to what the postage cost are to your country unlike previously as I was only allowed to post one fixed rate worldwide and it caused problems.In any case they are all listed in my description so you can refer to that as well

(2).I now no longer offer Surface Post as I have had too many problems over the past few years.I apologise to my customers who have used Surface post in the past and have had or have given me no problems over the last few years but unfortunatley,its the very many that ruin it for the very few

(3).I will no longer relist items that have not sold the first time as this has become too costly.The only exception will be if a bidder fails to complete his transaction,otherwise from here on in items get listed once only

(4).I Do not end auctions early so please dont ask.I dont condone this practice and I think that it is unfair to other people who have place bids on an item they are anxious to own and feel one bidder should have as much chance as the next when bidding on my items

(5).POSTAGE RATES OVERSEAS:Several people overseas have complained about the price of my Air Postage thinking that it is too high.Yes.I know it is expensive but this is what it cost me to ship from my part of Canada to your part of the world as the rates vary across the country depending on which part of Canada you are sending from.Even within Canada the Rates Vary when shipping from one part of Canada to another so this is why the prices are what they are.I make no money from this and quite often,I have lost money on postage so please take note of this

(6)NON PAYING BIDDERS:Due to the recent volume of late payers,PAYMENT IS NOW DUE IN 10 DAYS.You must contact me within 3 days of the closing of the auction.If I dont hear from you within 3 days ,I will send you a reminder and if you don't reply within a week then I will take the necessary action to resolve this matter. Sorry if this sounds harsh but enough is enough

Once again, I apologise for dragging you through all this but something had to be said

Please note that I no longer ship Surface Post on account of too many problems in the past
