Description
This auction is for a beautiful copy of the OOP LP titled A Stable Reference by Labradford on Kranky Records (KRANK 006) from 1995 on gray marbled color vinyl. This was their second studio album and comes in a gatefold sleeve. Related bands include Pan American and Stars of the Lid.
I bought this new when it was released and played it just a couple of times. The sleeve has some moderate evidence of wear, especially around the gatefold spine and to a lesser degree the other edges. Minimal ring wear. No seam splitting or other significant defects. All flaws are documented as thoroughly as possible in the accompanying photos so you know what you're bidding on and can do so with confidence. Additional photos and/or other information gladly provided on request, so please and ask any questions you might have prior to placing a bid.
Money issues are forcing me to sell off my records, and I'm pricing this one low with no reserve.
Please note that I'm not a dealer and these are my own records lovingly cared for over the years. Thanks for checking out my auction. Although I'm new to selling, my goal is to provide the same type of buying experience that I appreciate when buying myself.
Shipping for this item will be the actual calculated cost of the service you select, plus $5 to cover packing it properly (a necessity when shipping expensive vinyl) and insurance.
When shipping vinyl, this is my packing process:
1. Records are removed from the outer picture sleeve and any printed inner sleeve, and placed in standard plain white sleeves (the type with die-cut label holes in the center on both sides) for travel outside the picture sleeve. (This is to prevent seam splitting in transit).
Printed inner sleeve and/or any other insert material goes back in the outer sleeve for travel.
2. Everything is then placed in a heavy-duty poly bag, and taped up securely (so that the contents will fare better in the event that the package gets wet or is exposed to weather en route).
3. The item is securely sandwiched between very sturdy 12.5"x12.5" 3-ply chipboard stiffeners (these are primarily to protect the corners of the picture sleeve from damage in transit, but also make it less likely that the entire package can be bent or warped, while also adding a layer of protection against damage from sharp objects).
4. If you're receiving fewer than 5 standard LPs with sleeves, your item(s) will be packed snugly and shipped in a well-sealed quality LP mailer box. For any orders requiring a larger box, bubble wrap will fill any space not consumed by the items, to ensure that there is no movement of contents once the box is sealed up and on its way.
Satisfied buyers are more important than any individual sale, so I strive to be accurate and fair in all steps of the process: in listing and pricing an item; conducting a transaction; preparing a sold item properly for safe transit (as described above); and shipping it promptly. I try to respond to messages, questions, and concerns quickly and to communicate effectively. However, if after receiving an item from me, you feel less than satisfied for any reason, please contact me to discuss before posting negative or neutral feedback. I strive to ensure that anyone who wins one of my auctions is happy with his or her purchase, and will take any reasonable actions that necessitates.
