Item Description

Hi,

For bid is a sealed copy of The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society, What a classic album. This is a USA gatefold pressing on Reprise RS6327. Some minor corner dings. All of the stickers are on the outer shrink. Weep holes in the shrink. NO Barcode or cutouts on here. This has been in my possession for over 35 years. This is not a recent reissue. I have no idea what color the label it is, I do know that it is at least 35 years old.

All records are visually graded unless still sealed. This is sold as is, no returns if opened.

Condition

The majority of these records have been in my care for over 20-40 years in a smoke free environment. They have for the most part been very carefully handled.  All of my records are original pressings. If an item is sealed I cannot open it up to describe the label color or variations.  If you are not happy with an item you may return an item within 7 days of receiving. Sometimes I may make a grading mistake or you may disagree with my  grade. That is the purpose of the return policy. I have no problem, giving you a full refund, including your shipping costs. I have not way of listening to each album anymore so all my gradings are based on visual. I have always maintained my records in an pristine manner and tend not to sell items that I myself would not buy.

Payment Shipping and holding items

If I receive payment by early Saturday morning, I try to ship right after auction ends. Otherwise items will go out mid week, the following week.

Combined shipping and holding items.

I have no problem holding items to save on shipping costs. 4 per box is the max per shipping and will not make the package too heavy and I can use enough protective pads to cushion them,

I have to adjust my conditions due to some of eBay’s quirkiness. After 30 days I can no longer combine payments since they drop off of eBay’s list. All buyers must pay within 21 days if you request to combine shipping. If you want to wait even longer to get up to the 4 per box, I will send you an additional invoice and adjust the shipping to reflect the other items. Each additional US shipping is about $1.00 more for each lp up to a max of $6.95 for 4 shipped Media mail. $2.00 more per lp to ship Priority. International adds about $3.50 more for each LP. Gatefolds also increase the weight of the package.

I try my best to prevent damaged goods.

I package things the way I have cared for them for over 30 plus years and I want to ensure that you receive them the same way. I stamp the packages with fragile warnings so that hopefully the post office does not play football with your package. All US packages are sent delivery confirmation. That is the best I can do. If you do not agree with my shipping policy PLEASE DO NOT BID. Thanks for all your support and I'm glad you enjoy them.

I really try to wrap and send things well packaged. 

USA Customers: New Shipping rates

Flat rate shipping for $4.00 THIS GETS NO FILLER PADS. SEALED ITEMS MAY SPLIT OPEN WITHOUT FILLER PADS. UNSEALED ALBUMS, I will remove the inner sleeve, but cannot insure that the seams on the inner sleeve will not split.  I pay $3 for each lp using media mail, $1.10 for my box and .50 for each filler pad. I make no money on shipping, I just want you to receive the item in the best condition as I have sent it. Please be aware that I cannot imagine how your lp will arrive after traveling for 10+days from West to East Coast without the filler pads. This is your choice and please do not complain your item did not arrive in good shape.   

Priority Mail is $9.95 and you get the mailer and 2 pads and delivery confirmation. It also gets there in a couple of days. Priority is very costly; I have no control over the post office rates.

The 3rd option is parcel post is $4.95. I have no way of putting in another media mail option, but this is how I will ship. This is NOT SENT PARCEL POST. Media mail with lp in a cardboard mailer, delivery confirmation and 2 full size protective filler pads.

Media mail from West coast to East Coast is taking 10 plus days.

International Customers

I appreciate your business and want to continue to sell my great items overseas. I had 4 instances of packages not arriving or arriving up to 2 months late. By then Paypal has deducted my income due to their policy. You can read my feedback as I ship all over the world and out of over 700+ shipments, 4 have not made it to their overseas destination.  Any item over $125.00 must ship Priority mail. Proof of mailing will show your name and the post office stamp and date. If you do not agree with this, PLEASE DO NOT BID!  The price of the shipping is clearly on the post office stamp. I make no money on the shipping portion, the post office does. Full customs value will be declared, since this will be insured.

Customs value

I keep getting requests occasionally about lowering the value of your items. I realize that customs value is something that you are sometimes required to pay, I am not responsible for this charge, please do not ask me to lower the value of the item so that you pay less customs. The price of the item is what I receive; any tax is your responsibility. It is unlawful to lie about the items contents and value. If this raises the price more than you are willing to pay due to the duty tax. Please do not bid.

Thanks again.
