LED ZEPPELIN II  RL SS ROBERT LUDWIG HOT MIX  ATLANTIC SD 8236
Monarch Pressing, 1841 Broadway
I have owned this record for several years and just recently decided to get back into vinyl.  My music tastes have evolved (if you are reading this you would probably say "devolved") toward jazz and classical.  I am currently in the rebuilding stage concerning my equipment, but i must say that this album sounds awesome.  I just don't have the sound system to do it justice.  I am selling it only to spend the money on sound upgrades.
I am no professional record grader but here is what I know:

Media  - RL SS on both sides  - Monarch pressing  - Light surface scratches that you would expect on a 53 year old well loved LP  - Light clicks and pops in the quiet areas that could likely improve with a good cleaning  - Hellacious bass  - Absolutely zero skips or hang ups  - Nice and flat.  No warpage.  - Shiny vinyl and clean labels  - Did I mention nice bass?
Cover  - Nice color  - Apprx 4 inch split on top of right side of gatefold  - "Wear and tear" in interior crease/fold   - Initials written in ink on lower right corner on backside of cover  - What appears to be a light pencil smudge/mark on front cover
Please see attached photos.
I have set up the listing as an auction with no reserve, starting price of $79.99 and what I consider to be a very reasonable But It Now price of $179.99.  I don't want to make a killin' on this thing but want it to be with someone who has a system to do it justice.  And keep in mind that between the new IRS rules and selling fees I will only see about two thirds of the final value. 
$10 shipping to within the Continental U.S. only.   
Hey, I want to cover shipping insurance via media mail.  
Thanks for looking.

UPDATE:  Due to a couple of requests about the scratches on the vinyl, I went back to conduct a closer inspection.   I discovered one "feeler" scratch in the middle third of track two on side one. It results in a recurring pop but no skip or hang up. I apologize for any confusion.  If anyone wishing to retract a bid, please let me know and I will try to oblige.
