All records are visually and play graded. Buyer to add $9.50 shipping ($4.00 for Media Mail) & ($20.00 to Europe). I will combine shipping on multiple wins. Pay Pal and other payment options will be acceptable. ATTENTION ALL INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS: PLEASE READ: If the winning bid is over $40.00 your item will be sent Registered Mail ($35.00 total).
PLEASE WAIT FOR INVOICE BEFORE SENDING PAYMENT.
NOTE: Items sent to Germany, France & Spain will be shipped Registered Mail regardless of the final bid amount.
I'm sorry about the higher international Postal rates but the US Post Office has almost doubled the rates in some cases. I'm am not making a profit on these rates. As a matter of fact these new rates are still a bit under what the PO is charging me.
This has to be done for tracking purposes and is both for the buyer's and seller's protection. ** NO EXCEPTIONS **. Too many "Item Not Received" filings and a lot of sellers are getting hit with charge backs. I regret that I have to resort to this type of international shipping policy but as a seller I have no choice. I must protect my product from the small % of disreputable buyers and corrupt customs and postal services etc.
