White Stripes Inchophone 7x 3" Record Set + Top Special

$

1,025

Hello! This auction is for a White Stripes Triple Inch-o-phone player and seven, three-inch record set, which includes TOP SPECIAL, a single exclusive to this format.

Please read and agree to all of the following before bidding. Thank you!

There were only 400 of these players available and all sold out on the White Stripes 2005 tour. The player came with six, three-inch singles (Hotel Yorba, Fell In Love With A Girl, Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground, Seven Nation Army, Hardest Button To Button and Blue Orchid) remastered for the format by Jack White. Top Special was only available separately by request, so many who purchased the player unknowingly went home without it.

The winning bidder of this auction will receive: all seven 3" titles listed above and the Inch-o-phone player, new-in-the-box, including instructions and 3" slipmat!

Each single is LIKE NEW* and other than Hotel Yorba all are UNPLAYED**.

*Please see the second photo; the artwork insert for Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground has a small issue. It looks as though the adhesive on the plastic sleeve ever-so-slightly caught the top of the insert as it was being packed at the factory, nicking the art about an eighth-of-an-inch, and tearing the top layer of the paper down less than half-an-inch. The tear does not go through the paper but rather between the laminated layers of the paper. There is a piece of paper the exact shape and size of the nick still stuck in the adhesive strip on the back, which further corroborates my hypothesis. Neither myself nor the original owner have actually opened the record.

**I opened and played Hotel Yorba to test the player; it works perfectly.

Any white spots or botches or whatnot are due to the glare from the flash on my webcam. Everything is really rather perfect as listed!

I AM BEING VERY KNIT-PICKY! I WANT YOU TO BE SUPER PLEASED WITH YOUR INCHOPHONE PLAYER AND SET! THIS THING IS AWESOME.  :)

Super-secure packing and shipping to anywhere in the world via STANDARD USPS services are free. Domestic delivery confirmation is also included. HOWEVER, if you require insurance or international registered services, they will be offered at a discount but must be paid for by the buyer. If you are in the States and want insurance, choose the Express Mail option at checkout and I will send the player and set via Express Mail with full insurance. If you are elsewhere and would like door-to-door tracking and insurance, choose the International Express Mail option at checkout and I will send the player and set registered and fully insured. I retain all proof of posting and cannot and will not be held responsible for lost or damaged packages, though if the worst does happen and you have purchased insurance I will do all that I can to help resolve your dispute with the USPS.

Note that payment via PayPal is required immediately with Buy It Now or within seven days of the auction ending, otherwise the set will be re-listed and a complaint filed with eBay. This is non-negotiable. Please, serious bidders only. I understand stuff happens, but please consider everything before bidding. I am more of a collector than a seller, and I am a huge White Stripes fan, so trust that I will ensure this is a 100% satisfactory and professional auction experience for you.

If you have any questions please contact me and I will reply within six hours, if not straight-away. Thanks for looking, and best of luck!

FULL DISCLOSURE: This is indeed the second Inch-o-phone and record set I've sold on eBay. I bought one from a fellow White Stripes fan from the Netherlands in June and then sold it to another fan in England. I recently bought a second one from another fan in Nashville and am now selling it as well. I NEVER thought I'd have one Inch-o-phone let alone have had two and sold two! But such is life. With an almost three year-old son who is very much interested in papa's records, I really have no choice but to pass this on to another fan who will be able to ensure its enjoyment and safe-keeping! I just can't leave it out, you know? And what's the use of having this ridiculously cool set if you can't have it out on display? Anyway, just thought I'd put that out there. Thanks again!

Just to be clear: This Inch-o-phone player and 3" record set INCLUDES the Top Special single IN ADDTION to 1. Hotel Yorba, 2. Fell In Love With A Girl, 3. Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground, 4. Seven Nation Army, 5. Hardest Button To Button and 6. Blue Orchid. So that's one player, with instructions and three-inch slipmat, new in the box, plus seven three-inch records!   :)
