Payment and Shipping Notice: Be sure to read the payment and shipping requirements at the end of the auction description before bidding. Buyers with less than 10 feedbacks and/or a percentile of less than 95% should not participate in this auction. Also, if you are a non-US buyer, you are responsible for any customs tax that may be imposed on the value of the item.

General Description: What is being offered for sale is a rare 4-minute Edison Blue Amberol cylinder record – No. 5200, “Sinking of the Titanic” by E.V. Stoneman. See the ten (10) photos for details and condition, which is very good. The lower container for the Edison container is probably original; however, the cover is a replacement (with a different label).

Guarantee: The Edison cylinder record can be returned for a refund of the bid amount if the seller is notified within 3 days of receipt (as determined by Delivery Confirmation) and the record is in the condition shown in the photos.

Payment and Shipment: All payments must be received by me within 10 days after the auction has ended. However, since I have a “no question return policy” and if the buyer is unable to make payment, he can simply cancel the auction before the item is shipped without any consequences.

IMPORTANT Shipping Details: US and non-US buyers pay for USPS priority mail, first class, or flat rate depending on the weight and size of the package and the value of the item (as indicated in the eBay “Shipping & Payments” section of the listing). Media mail is also an option (in the US only) for books, piano rolls, and musical recordings. For items over $1000, registered mail is recommended – but will likely require several additional days for delivery by the USPS. The carrier must be the United States Postal Service. Fedex, DHL, and UPS are not acceptable. There are NO handling or packaging fees for shipping. Delivery confirmation and insurance (if required) will be paid for by the seller.

Important Notice: If an item is purchased by a US or a non-US buyer and it can NOT be insured for its full value with the USPS, including the expensive Global Xpress Guaranteed (GXG), than the auction will be cancelled or the buyer can arrange for on-site pick-up. Repeat: Expensive items will NOT be shipped unless they can be fully insured with the USPS, which also means that the buyer will be responsible for any customs taxes that may be imposed on the “bid amount” of the item.

Second Chance Offer: I do not offer under bidders a Second Chance Offer unless it is through eBay and by “here_now_great_buys”. If you receive such a notice, it is fraudulent and not from me. Be careful. There have been a number of attempts to resell my items. Only buy “through” eBay and only with the seller “here_now_great_buys”. Note: I will on occasion, re-list an item with “Buy Now.” But that is within eBay and only with “here_now_great_buys”.
