Greetings everybody! Thanks for stopping by another of my ebay record listings! As you might be able to tell, I do some re-listing of records that don't sell via auction. This listing-and many others, well, you can tell what the plan was. My MMXV Xmas Extravaganza didn't move as well as hoped, at least originally. But there's always hope on the re-list! Maybe you'll find something you missed the first time! I hope so! And yes, if you are interested in multiple items, I can hold/combine for shipping purposes. So, maybe, just maybe, second time around might be the charm! The rest of the listing will be as it was originally. Thanks!

Welcome Everybody to my Kinda-Annual, Why does he do this CHRISTMAS IN JULY EXTRAVAGANZA!  
I know, why list Christmas records this time of year, when most people are thinking of how to beat the heat, summer vacations, do I look fat in this swimsuit, wholley moley-the barbecue is catching the shrubbery on fire, season?  Welp, it's because, I'm kinda goofy about it that way, ok?  Anyways....

These listings-and there will be plenty of them-are going to be listed auction style over the next few weeks, and I have a load of Christmas music for you folks. So, due to the amount of records to list, and the lack of time to do so, the listing descriptions will be minimal. So there won't be as much chatter as my usual listings. Yeah, I know-"Yay! I won't have to read as much from this goober!"  you people...sheesh.
But I will have the basic description, and all records (that aren't still sealed) have been play-graded, so the gradings will be as accurate as possible. Any notes I've included will be minimal, but hopefully helpful. So, let's see what's up this time!

Elvis Presley “Elvis’ Christmas Album” RCA AFM1-5486. Reissue from the 50th Anniversary releases, on Green Vinyl. 1985 release.

Few very light needle marks that had no negative impact on play nor sound.

E+ Condition

Labels have some storage wear, and what appear to be ink stamps on both sides. All text clear enough to read easily. Cover is in nice shape as well, only a few bends and ring wear. Does have the booklet attached to the inner gatefold cover. A Ding on the lower, inside corner, and a cut-out notch about an inch and a half away along the bottom seam though. The seams and spine are intact with no splitting.

If you need more pictures or have any questions, please send them to me, and I will reply as soon as possible. 

My Grading is as follows: M (Mint)-ONLY for Still Factory Sealed Records ONLY! No 45 nor 78 will ever get this grading. E+, minimal wear, perhaps only needs cleaning. E, a few light marks, maybe some minor background crackle and/or hiss. E-, light marks, crackling (nothing major), scuffs, etc.. Not great, but still quite playable. V+, More marks, scuffs, needle marks, scratches-but nothing that would make the needle skip. Will have background noise that even with a cleaning will still be around. V. Worn. Scuffs, scratches, can be noisy, but still (probably) won’t cause the needle to skip nor get stuck. V-, Noisy? You bet! Worn? Oh yeah. Playable? Sure, but don’t expect it to sound all peachy keen. P. Bleah! Playable perhaps, but do so at your own risk. Don’t trash a new needle on it. Only used on records considered rare enough for “fill in” purposes to a collector-or to those who do digital restoration.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NON-U.S. BUYERS!!!!
All items I sell will be sent with postage printed up from eBay. This way, the prices are automatically listed for customs purposes and cannot be altered. Yes, this does mean that the customs people will know the value, but since I get a bit of a price break on postage, I can keep the prices low for you-the buyer.  I will not "mark item as a gift", just so you can evade import rules.  The people at my post office know me, and they will check overseas packages for inspection.  I hope you will understand my position about this, my apologies if you are not able to comply.

Also, international bidders, the price listed for postage on my listings are for domestic mailing.  I wish I could send overseas for that price, but reality speaks different.  I place a fair price on all international postage.  Watch for the invoice if you win.

ALSO-I need to let international bidders know of a certain problem that doesn't always happen, but will arise from time to time.  All International mail sent from this region has to go through the U.S. Postal Service sorting center in Sandston Virginia, by our local airport.  This sorting center has been named the least efficient sorting center in the entire U.S. Postal Service.  They prove this from time to time by mis-routing packages.  If this happens-and I will monitor the delivery-usually it will add at least an extra week for it to arrive.  If there are any problems, please contact me first, and I will do what I must to make sure you are satisfied with the order.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All items that are sent to a U.S. address will have delivery confirmation (at my cost) attached, as I have found that it helps...a lot!....to ensure that packages are truly en route to the customer.  This is for both of our sakes.  I will be using USPS "Media Mail" as my primary shipping method, however, if needed, and for an extra charge, I can ship with "Priority Mail", and if i can get away with it for the price, I really like 1st Class, but that's weight-dependent.

Oh yes, if you are the winning bidder, and you are in the Commonwealth of Virginia, I'm afraid you are going to have to fork over the 5.3% Virginia State Sales Tax.

Paypal is my preferred method of payment, if you need another way, please contact me before bidding.  Or, if you have any other questions about this listing, or any of my listings, please feel free to contact me.  I will answer any & all questions as quickly and concisely as possible.

Also, I do have other listings available as well, and if you would be interested in more than one item, I have no problem with holding onto wins in case you would like to combine wins to save some money instead of multiple p&h costs.

Ebay has mandated that I include a "handling time" something I had thought was already included.  I usually get records mailed out the day after payment arrives.  But I will let you know that if any listing that is paid for after Friday mornings will have to wait until the following Monday, since I do the majority of packing at work-I have my packing stuff there.  Plus-I won't hound you for payment. As long as people stay in touch, and let me know the interest is still there, don't rush on my account. I don't mind waiting a bit and usually won't send any kind of reminders until after a week-at least-has gone by.  In this economy, the last thing anyone needs is for a seller to come off like a bill collector.  I'll work with you!

I hope that there's someone out there who might like to make this part of your own collection, since that's what I'm here for!  I do appreciate that you did click on my listing and had a chance to check out the goods, thanks again for stopping by!
