Product Description

Up for bid is a SUPER RARE Japanese pressing of KISS's 1982 compilation LP entitled "Killers." This LP has been very well preserved, and it looks to me that it has scarcely if ever been played. Since I purchased this LP some years ago from a fellow KISS collector, I have never played the LP. The vinyl looks amazing, and one would be hard pressed to note any flaws or than an errant blemish. What makes this particular LP so valuable is that unlike most one would find available, this one still contains the limited edition insert booklet! Most often Japanese pressings of "Killers" no longer have the booklet, so this piece is quite nice. The LP also comes with the original lyric sheet and OBI strip. This is an amazing piece, and I am reluctant to sell it; however, I've decided to part with select pieces in my collection to free up storage space. Therefore, if you ever wanted to own a Japanese version of "Killers" that comes with the color booklet, this auction is for you! The LP shown is the EXACT piece up for auction, so check out the accompaying pictures to see just how nice this LP is! In my estimation, I rate this LP as being in Near Mint condition.

Before continuing further, let me clarify that I am not a professional record collector, so my estimation of an LP's condition is that of a seasoned but amateur collector. I am a die-hard KISS fan, so I've certainly had experience over the years of collecting KISS memorabilia. Nonetheless, I am not professionally qualified to assess records, so please bear that in mind when reading my description. For a guiding reference, I use the Goldmine Record Grading 101 guide that can be accessed via the Internet at the following web address: http://www.goldminemag.com/collector-resources/record-grading-101/2

Please consult this helpful set of standards for a clearer understanding of how I have arrived that assessments I have given each of the LPs I currently have up for sale. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm just a fan and collector like many of you, so I don't want any buyer to be disappointed with an item I have sold. Finally, please feel free to check out my other auctions as I am currently offering some great RARE KISS items including a Peter Criss autographed version of the recent "Destroyer: Resurrected" LP re-release. I'll happily combine shipping charges for buyers who win more than one auction (provided said items can fit in one package). Happy bidding!!

Shipping Policies and Procedures

Please use eBay's shipping calculator to obtain an estimate of shipping costs for a particular item or contact me and request that I provide a shipping quote. Too often buyers are bidding with little awareness of the shipping costs and then deciding not to pay upon finding out the shipping fee. This typically happens with international buyers who have not investigated shipping costs beforehand. Please understand that I DO NOT inflate shipping rates or charge handling fees. In fact, I usually lose money on shipping because I do not charge for packing materials. Buyers only pay the exact estimated shipping costs and nothing more. Therefore, when bidding consider the weight and size of an item before determining that a shipping estimate is too high. I provide the shipping calculator for this very reason.

I pride myself on serving fellow eBayers quickly and professionally. I make every effort to ship items within 12-24 hours of receiving payment. In rare exceptions (such as over weekends or holidays), it might take a maximum of 48 hours to ship an item once payment has been received. I want all buyers to receive their merchandise as quickly as possible because as a fellow eBayer I also appreciate sellers who ship items expediently. This being said, domestic buyers who choose slow shipping options such as Media Mail or Parcel Post must realize and expect items to take longer to arrive. Therefore, please don't negatively affect my "shipping time" rating by docking me unfairly. Likewise for international buyers; I make every effort to get international shipments in the mail immediately because of the time it takes for items to reach their destination. Please be aware, however, that once an item leaves the USA I have little to no control over time of delivery or even tracking information. Some countries have slower customs processes than others, such as Canada for example, and there is simply nothing I can do to change that. Again, when leaving feedback, please bear these factors in mind. I strive for 5-star feedback, and if I fail to perform I should earn less than  a 5-star rating. However, I also want my ratings to accurately and fairly reflect my performance and not conditions that are beyond my control.

Returns Policy

As I rule, I generally do not accept returns. I buy and sell on eBay as a hobby, so I do not have cash reserves to cover buyer's remorse and repeated returns. However, in the event I make a mistake or unwittingly misrepresent an item, I will happily accept a return and do what is necessary to make things right in the eyes of the buyer. While mistakes aren't the norm for me, I am human and thus prone to the rare unintentional lapse. However, I ask that buyers are judicious in reviewing any auction listing and ask questions if they are uncertain about an item's condition, publication information, or contents. Likewise, I provide plenty of pictures of the exact items up for sale, so please review those closely in advance of placing bids.
