[Note: Due to E-bay’s recent changes that have converted all 30-day listings into “Good Until Canceled” listings, I reserve the right to end any auction within 24 hours of its listed closing time with no advanced notice given to watchers, to avoid any automatic relisting fees on unsold items.]

Artist: ELIAS YOUNES + LAYLA SAGHIR

Track(s): Various

Format: 6x78 RPM 10”

Label: Various

5 rare Arabic music discs by ELIAS YOUNES and one by LAYLA SAGHIR, as pictured. I don’t know if this was originally a six-disc set by Younes (that would make sense, since his picture is on the front of the album that contains the discs) and then one went missing or what, but this is as it was when I originally received it, so this is how you will receive it too.

Condition: I am afraid I am not able to play 78 rpm records. Please see photos for condition. Record is complete (no cracks, etc.), with wear as to be expected for a record of this age. Please note that there is considerable wear to the album which holds the discs (see the last photo for detail). Please inspect the included photos carefully.  **ITEM SOLD “AS-IS”**

Terms (Please read carefully): Payment is due within THREE (3) DAYS via Paypal – no exceptions. Buyer pays shipping. NOTE: Higher than average shipping cost is due to the extra packaging involved in shipping 78 rpm discs due to their fragile nature (larger box, bubble wrap, etc.), and insurance for the full purchase price. **NOTE TO NON-USA BIDDERS: I will only ship outside of the USA using E-bay’s Global Shipping Program, as this protects buyer and seller from loss, damage, etc. This program entails extra fees for international tracking, customs, etc., which results in a high shipping cost. These fees are not set by me (as the seller, I don’t even get to see them), I don’t make any money off of them, and they are NOT NEGOTIABLE. Also, E-bay’s Global Shipping Program does not allow auction wins to be combined into one shipment. This means that if you win more than one auction for me, I will not be able to give you a combined shipping price, but will have to ship each item separately in its own box. If you win more than one item, please pay for each separately.

NOTE: I recently spoke with E-bay customer service, who verified that for some items the GSP system has a glitch which allows the bidder to combine multiple items into one order, even though this is explicitly forbidden under the GSP terms. Please do not do this, as it creates problems for me when I have to print out labels for the packages (sometimes E-bay does not allow me to print out the necessary number of labels). If you live outside of the USA and combine orders at the time of payment, I reserve the right to cancel the transaction if it causes problems. Please pay for each item separately!**

**ADDITIONAL SPECIAL NOTE FOR NON-USA BIDDERS: It is YOUR responsibility to understand the impact of the Global Shipping Program on the cost of shipments to your country BEFORE YOU BID on my auctions. I DO NOT WORK FOR E-BAY and cannot answer your questions about shipping costs. As clearly stated above, I do not have any control over how much you are charged, nor even any way to know how much you are charged (or will be charged). Please do not send me questions about this.**

***RELATED TO THIS, I will not answer any requests received during or after an auction about shipping to non-USA locations for a cheaper amount using some other option that isn’t the Global Shipping Program. I get an average of 3 or 4 of these kinds of questions per week, and the answer will always be no. Please don’t waste my time or your time by asking for me to violate my own shipping policy.***

USA bidders (or non-USA bidders with USA addresses registered with E-bay and Paypal!): I will gladly combine your wins into the fewest shipments possible. Please do not pay the automatically generated invoice from E-bay that will overcharge you for shipping.

Your item(s) will be shipped within ten (10) days of receiving cleared payment.
