U.S. BUYERS

PAYMENT - U.S. buyers to pay by PAYPAL.

SHIPPING & HANDLING –

MEDIA MAIL postage is $4 for this item, plus a handling charge of $2 for shipping materials. Delivery time for Media Mail is usually pretty prompt but occasionally it can take several weeks to reach the west coast. In late-November and December Media Mail can be very slow because it is treated as 4th class mail and so many other packages take priority over it.

PRIORITY MAIL & MULTIPLE PURCHASES - shipping costs will need to be determined after the auction end because they are based on weight and zipcode.

COMBINED SHIPPING: I do combine other LP orders to save on shipping so see my other LP auctions. Your LPs will be shipped in a new cardboard LP mailer box with a cardboard inserts. Feel free to request additional inserts or to make special packaging requests at an additional charge for materials and added postage, but please make these special requests BEFORE paying.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS – General Information

PAYMENT - International buyers are welcome and PAYMENTS are to be made by PAYPAL.

SHIPPING & HANDLING - This item weighs over 5 pounds so the cheapest shipping option will be Priority Air Mail International at $50 or Express Air Mail at $60. Buyer in Canada, the charges will be about half that.

All International Buyers – Please Note:

Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

ARRIVAL TIME - Airmail packages often take 7-10 days to arrive in most countries, but several weeks is not unusual. Delivery is often slowed down by your country’s customs office. Buyers in ITALY should note that the Italian postal and customs system is very slow and airmail & priority airmail packages can often take several weeks or up to 2 months to arrive.

PROVENANCE : This item came from a large collection owned by a serious audiophile with homes in NY and London. The collection contained a lot of import and audiophile titles. The condition of the majority of this collection is amazing – there were so many records that many of them were never opened (still factory sealed). Take a look at the rest of my current listings and take advantage of this opportunity to get some other fine recordings.

GRADING :

NM (+/-), E (+/-), VG (+/-)

Lps are visually graded and then quickly sound-tested in various spots on a Music Hall MMF-5 turntable with Goldring G1012 cartridge. I try to check visible marks to see if they make noise, and significant scuffs or scratches are usually mentioned in the description. Lps have NOT been listened to in their entirety, so it is very possible that there will be noise not mentioned in the description. In general I recommend cleaning all lps before playback, as they may not have been machine cleaned.

NM+ usually means the lp looks new and plays like new with no noise in the areas I sound tested.

NM usually have no marks and play with little or no noise.

NM- might have some sleeve residue, minor surface wear/noise or minor scuffs (usually but not always noted).

NM/NM- means the lp looks NM but plays NM- with occasional light surface noise.

E may show light wear or light surface marks and it will have some surface noise.

VG will have wear and marks and play with considerable surface noise.

Jackets - I try to mention significant damage like seam splits, writing and corner creases, but most jackets will show some minor signs of age or shelf wear, even jackets rated NM. NM+ jackets are usually new or in original plastic.

Items are sold AS-IS with no returns/refunds, though significant mistakes by the seller will be considered on a case-by-case basis. I have established a reputation, especially in the quality-conscious classical record community, as a top seller with fair prices, excellent packaging, super-fast shipping, and often better-than-stated condition. Please view my thousands of feedbacks and feel confident that I am not trying to cheat anyone by using as-is policy.

AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS:

If you are in CANADA, please wait for my invoice as your shipping rates will be lower than the overseas international shipping rates that will automatically appear if you pay instantly.

HANDLING TIME – After I receive your cleared payment, items are usually shipped within one business day.

Thanks for finding and checking out my auctions and items – I am sure you will enjoy them!
