Franklin Mint Greatest Recordings of the Big Band Era 100 Album Set - Unopened

$

450

This set was purchased and stored by my father in law.
The entire set is brand new, still sealed with the except of 5 boxes in which the plastic wrapper is off. I visiually inspected each of those 10 albums and they all look perfect as if they were never played.
The sealed boxes all look good and unharmed. The boxes without the plastic have some dirt on them from storage; these 5 boxes are shown at the end of the picture set.
This auction is for the entire 100 album set that is in 50 boxes.
The set will be split into 2 or 3 two separate boxes to keep the weight down and make for safer shipping. 
THE ACTION PRICE INCLUDES SHIPPING!
If you’re in the LA area, you can also pick them up.

I found this index from another auction, and looks pretty accurate, so I’m using it with gratitude:

PAYMENT

Your payment must be received within 3 days after auction ends. If you don't contact me within 3 days to explain any delay, your item may be offered to the next highest bidder and an Unpaid case may be opened.

SHIPPING - DOMESTIC

I use United States Postal Service (USPS) or FedEX for domestic shipping.

To prevent fraud and quality for the Seller Protection Policy, I ship only to verified addresses associated with your PayPal account or to a credit card's billing address. Buyers that request shipping to an alternate unverified address cannot be accepted.

SHIPPING - INTERNATIONAL

International shipping charges listed are for single items only. If you purchase or would like to purchase multiple items please request an invoice or quote to receive a combined shipping price.

The default international shipping method is USPS International First Class Mail, which can take a long time to some countries. I offer USPS Priority Mail as a faster shipping solution, but will increase the cost of shipping dramatically. USPS Priority Mail can be selected as a shipping option during checkout.

HANDLING

Your item(s) will be packed with great care to insure a safe and secure delivery. I reserve the right to add a $1.00 ($1.50 for international) handling charge to account for extra time, materials, and postage adjustments.

RETURNS

Items are guaranteed to match their description in the ad body.  I cannot be responsible for any supplemental data added by eBay's automatic description service.

Items will be accepted for return in their original condition and shipping materials.  After inspection of the returned item, your money will be refunded, less shipping costs, subject to any fees as per eBay's guidelines. The Buyer is responsible for all return shipping costs.

I will NOT be liable for a Buyer who changes their mind or decides that the item isn't what they expected due to a lack of research. If you have ANY questions, PLEASE ASK BEFORE BIDDING! I am more than willing to communicate in a timely matter to help you with your decision.
