To all of you who continually watch these items as they are listed and relisted countless times : You can't win if you don't bid. In most cases one bid will win my auctions. Watchers win nothing.                                               I truly can't believe that none of the great blues rarities I offered last week sold. Unbelievable ! Well, here we go again (and yet again - back for your watching pleasure). This is another in a string of absolutely outstanding blues albums that I am currently offering at auction.  This is a nearly like new condition copy of Gary Sloan's 1981 LP "South Side Blues" on the tiny homegrown Boogie-til-Dawn Records label. The only condition issue is a rather sizeable corner ding on the lower right hand corner. Other than that it's great. Alaskan blues bands are not exactly numbered in the hundreds and any recordings they did put out rarely ever saw the light of day in the "lower 48". You just do not see copies of this, PERIOD. It is even noted on the label as "PROOF RECORD #5". Gary is featured on vocals, harp, and guitar with Lindy Raines and Mike Senn on guitar. Don't make the mistake of confusing their obscurity with lack of ability. This is a good blues band ! You are not going to see any more of these so please do yourself a big favor and DON"T MISS THIS ONE !!!                    I truly regret having to address this issue but recent events have forced my hand.Starting today (7-8-11) I will need you to inform me when you are bidding on multiple items of your intent to do so immediately after winning the first item. I am wasting far too much time, work, and money by getting right to work packing your item, driving to the post office the next day, getting a quote, and sending an invoice (which you still aren't responding to) which prompts an unpaid item reminder all for an invoice you do not even need. PLEASE, all it takes is a little cooperation and consideration on your part. If this is not done I will be sending separate invoices, separate mailings, and separate shipping charges. That would be very expensive especially to overseas customers. I really love my overseas customers and likely would have no business without you but it has been mostly overseas customers who are doing this so ... PLEASE do not let it come to that. Thank you !                            Overseas bidders are very welcome here but shipping to overseas customers will be determined by a Post office quote at auction's end !!! You will be covering my expenses and NOT paying ridiculous "fees" but you MUST wait for an invoice with this amount added. If you ignore theses instructions and pay the lower U.S. rate, your money will be refunded and the process will be repeated correctly. Also, I will not mark customs declaration forms as a "gift" or state any reduced value on your purchase. That is against Ebay policy and, more importantly, illegal.
