THIS RECORD WAS PREVIOUSLY LISTED FOR $350.00 AND HAD A "SUBMIT BEST OFFER" FEATURE. TWO OFFERS WERE MADE WITH THE MOST RECENT ONE BEING FOR $275.00 (THIS CAN BE SUBSTANTIATED). I WAS UNABLE TO RESPOND IN TIME TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THAT OFFER. IF THAT PERSON SHOULD MAKE THE SAME OFFER AGAIN, I WILL ACCEPT HIS OFFER IMMEDIATELY SO LONG AS IT HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN TOPPED. IF SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD OFFER THAT MUCH OR MORE, I WILL CONSIDER THEIR OFFER WITHIN 48 HOURS. EITHER WAY, DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF ANY OFFER, I WILL DO MY BEST TO ACCEPT OR DECLINE ALL OFFERS AND NOT DISREGARD THEM. REALIZE THAT THIS LP IS A REAL PRIZE!!! READ ON!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Jack Kerouac, Blue And Haikus, Hanover HM 5006, 1959, mono. This is a listing for a magnificent copy of this brilliant masterpiece by the father of American Beat poetry. Al Cohn and Zoot Sims are backing on tenor sax, and Al Cohn doubles on the piano. Tracks include American Haikus, Hard Hearted Old Farmer, The Last Hotel and Some Of Dharma (both a and b of Track 3), and Poems From The Unpublished "Book Of Blues." The jacket and record are virtually perfect, with both grading better than near mint. The record plays absolutely perfect as it tracks silently through the quietest passages. The vinyl looks just like glass! The double saxes and Kerouac are utterly haunting! You may never find a nicer copy of this record anywhere. The record may serve as a beautiful gift this season for a serious Kerouac buff. Don't let this gem pass you by. The record was play graded on an audiophile system employing Basis Ovation, Graham Industries, Transfiguration, Sound Applications, and Jeff Rowland electronics.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR BIDDERS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES: Satisfaction is guaranteed on a money back basis with postage BOTH ways. Domestic buyer assumes responsibility for $9.00 charge for insured media mail with a delivery confirmation. Double boxing is highly recommended for this magnificent piece since the jacket is virtually perfect. Double boxing consists of placing a regular size record mailer with the LP inside into a medium size (pizza type box) mailer, the kind used for shipping multiple LP's of quantities ranging from four to twelve. Any LP jacket mailed with a standard record mailer that is dropped directly on its corner from a height of four feet or more will sustain a crunched corner. The use of double boxing greatly minimizes this possibility. The additional cost for double boxing is $5, which is the actual cost to me. The cost is increased due to the additional cost of another even heavier box, plus the additional USPS charges attributable to the added weight. Priority mail is available at an additional charge of $3.00. Insurance and delivery confirmations are required for all domestic shipments. Payments made with these charges subtracted will not be accepted. Only professional packaging materials are used for shipping, and all items are shipped securely and with filler pads; yet, you will not risk damage to the contents because the packaging is too difficult to undo. My packages are easy to open once you start the process, and you will not need a butcher knife or terrorist box cutter to do it with! Virtually all online payment services are available. Due to increases in fraudulent PayPal transactions and resultant chargebacks, items paid for through PayPal will be shipped to confirmed addresses only. I generally always ship on the date I receive cleared funds or within one day thereafter. Personal checks require a hold of ten business days for clearance. All domestic sales must be paid for within seven days of an auction's end. If you do not pay online, and your mail service as a sender is slow, don't bother bidding!----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOR BIDDERS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES (PAYPAL PAYERS SEE ALSO SECTION BELOW): Uninsured Airmail Letter Post is used for international shipping due to its popularity. Rates are as follows: Canada $8.00; Mexico $10.00; Europe $15.00; Asia, Australia, Africa, and South America $16.00. Double boxing is highly recommended for this magnificent piece since the jacket is virtually perfect. Double boxing consists of placing a regular size record mailer with the LP inside into a medium size (pizza type box) mailer, the kind used for shipping multiple LP's of quantities ranging from four to twelve. Any LP jacket mailed with a standard record mailer that is dropped directly on its corner from a height of four feet or more will sustain a crunched corner. The use of double boxing greatly minimizes this possibility. If you would like double boxing, please e-mail me for rates. Due to the high cost of related shipping, satisfaction is guaranteed on a money back basis exclusive of shipping costs. No guarantees can be made for safe delivery, or delivery at all, for that matter, for international shipments that are not sent by registered or insured mail. If you would like registered or insured mail, please e-mail me for rates. The charges stated for international transactions include the fee for a Certificate of Mailing, which is validated and canceled by the United States Postal Service and provides proof that I have mailed an article to you. Also included is a modest charge to cover the additional time and energy required for international transactions, such as correspondence, customs declarations, translations, etc. Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Italian are spoken. Shipping rates are not negotiable! I do not enjoy paying them any more than you do. Please consider when you bid that your shipping costs are part of your total purchase price. Surface mail outside the United States will not be considered. I do not want your record dragged along the ocean floor! Feedback on eBay can only be posted for 90 days. Transactions that involve surface mail have insufficient time during which problems can be resolved that might influence feedback either way. Cash (currency) is acceptable for international transactions but must be sent by registered mail unless otherwise mutually agreed upon. Virtually all online payment services are available. I generally always ship on the date I receive cleared funds or within one day thereafter. All international sales must be paid for within fourteen days of an auction's end. No exceptions!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOR ALL INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PAYING WITH PAYPAL: All sales of $40 or more paid for through PayPal require the use of registered mail at an additional cost of $7.50. This is because if your item is lost in the mail you can under PayPal's Buyer Protection Program obtain a full refund from PayPal including shipping charges (less a $25 processing fee). However, this will result in a chargeback to me! PayPal states that the only way a seller can be protected against chargeback is if a shipping method is used that permits online tracking such as registered, insured, or express mail. The most practical and safest method to protect against loss in the mail is with registered mail. If your sale is for less than $40, you are not required to use registered mail. However, I disclaim all liability for loss in the mail, which means that if your record is lost, you cannot file a claim with PayPal. Please realize that I obtain certificates of mailing for all international shipments. The certificate of mailing proves that I have mailed an article to you. Although the contents are not described, if I were to send you anything other than your record, you would know it! An image of this certificate or the original certificate itself can always be furnished to you upon request. So, if your record is lost, you must bear the risk yourself of loss in the mail unless you purchase necessary protection at an additional cost. I must disclose this policy in order to avoid liability to PayPal myself. Realize that PayPal's Buyer Protection Program is an excellent means for insuring your record. However, you must pay for the additional cost of registered mail (or insured or express mail, or all three, if you prefer).-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SPECIAL RULES FOR WHO MAY USE PAYPAL: Those who are new to eBay (or who haven't used it in a long time) and those with private feedback may not be permitted to use PayPal. Unauthorized international PayPal transactions are charged back to sellers. Feedback is used to verify your purchasing history. You may have an excellent eBay feedback rating and demonstrated creditworthiness for PayPal purposes, but that doesn't mean that you are the one who is using your accounts! The issue is one of identity. It is totally possible that an eBay or PayPal account holder does not know what a vinyl record even looks like! Yet, the person using such account holder's identity may know! If your identity is stolen, it will be unlikely that the thief responsible will also be a collector of vinyl records. That person will likely purchase merchandise with your account that you are not accustomed to buying. I must see a pattern for purchasing records more than 60 days prior to an auction end. If your feedback is private, you may be able to provide me with a sufficient number of completed listing numbers for listings 60 to 90 days (Older listings may no longer be saved in eBay's database) or give me the user code names of sellers who by their name are obviously vinyl record sellers who have posted feedback for you at any time prior to 60 days before an auction end. You may also temporarily publish your feedback in order for me to review it and then change it back to private status after I have done so. This can all be done in a matter of a few minutes if we are both able to communicate by e-mail at the same time. THESE RULES ARE SO THAT I MAY GET PAID AND STAY PAID! Kindly accept my apologies for any inconvenience. Other sellers may not have such strict rules because they may be unaware of their exposure to PayPal chargebacks. If you think you may not qualify to use PayPal, kindly bid assuming that PayPal will not be possible and do not be offended if a request to use PayPal is not granted. BidPay, now with lower rates, or international money orders may also be used as means for payment.
