LP CHEECH & CHONG~BIG BAMBU  with GIANT ROLLING PAPER
in  Vintage NEAR MINT  TO MINT CONDITION! Not even fingerprints! There is what almost looks like a hand-engraved mark on the vinyl. It looks like hand-writing. It says: 1 or I T ODE77027 RE-1 T4 and is found on the edge of the black vinyl next to the Side One label.
PLAYED TWO TIMES! (Believe me, I know!)
This is a No Reserve Auction!
While going through Great-Grandmother's Estate items, I found this album. It brings back memories! I bought it at the record store... brought it home and played it twice. The first time...no one was home. I thought it was hilarious. So, I played it again. Well, that's when  Mom and Grandma came in the door. That was the LAST time it was played! They took it away from me, and I thought they tossed it out! We had quite a discussion that night!
Meanwhile...so many years later, we find the album...here it is!
I know nothing about record albums as collectibles but will be happy to answer any questions if required. There is one (minor in my opinion) scratch at the very edge of Side One. Otherwise, I cannot see any scratches whatsoever on the album. It appears as it did on the day I bought it. The dust jacket is wrinkled on one corner with a tiny tear along the crease that is about 1/4 inch long. This is not overly obvious. The Rolling Paper appears to have never been removed from where it was found originally. The interior of the cover is like new. The cover is has no problems in my opinion. It appears as if new on both back and front. It is quite fabulous condition, without even minor rubbing as is  typically found on vintage album covers. Not only that, this album comes with provenance...directly from the source (smile). Please refer to the photographs attached. Thank you.
This album will come to you very carefully packaged,  insured, by Priority Mail.
Thank you very much.

NOTICE TO ALL BIDDERS...please take the time to read this!

THE RESERVE: 
I am sorry, but I do not reveal the "Reserve" if there is one on any Gilded Griffin auction.
This is because I feel that it is unfair to tell some people and not others.
Many people may not have time to ask, or do not know that they are allowed to ask.
There was a time when it was against Ebay policy to reveal the Reserve.
Apparently, this has changed, but I continue to keep
The Reserve private in order to be fair to everyone.
Thank you for respecting my opinion in this regard.

SHIPPING:

I ship everything within 3 business days after the auction has ended.
This allows me the time to properly package everything nicely for you.  If you need something sooner, please indicate this to me when communicating.
Typically, I ship everything by Priority Mail Flat Rate Box...
however, some items (hats for instance)
are too large for these boxes and will not arrive to you safely.
I try to list everything accurately as for weight and postage costs
when I create the listings for the items.

Everything is clean, and beautifully packaged.
I take great care (and probably go a little overboard) with how I package things.

I assume that because you bid on these items, you truly care about receiving them intact.
Shipping is sometimes a little more expensive than usual. PLEASE INQUIRE PRIOR TO AUCTION BIDDING REGARDING  ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT SHIPPING AND TIMING!  I WILL HAPPILY ASSIST IF I CAN!

Handling costs are included within the shipping quotes.
These costs help to pay for the gasoline, time, bubble wrap and all the extras involved in
sending your item to you safely and in a timely manner.  Thank you.

ARCHIVAL PACKAGING:

If you are new at Ebay, you will soon see that many sellers simply toss things in old boxes when they ship to you.
No, I do not do this.
I have archival tissues and bags here because of antique textile collection that I have acquired.
These packing materials are used in museums and may be purchased from a source called Light Impressions.
You will notice that they are not inexpensive. 
If you were to buy these, you would have to pay several dollars for this alone. 
These archival storage papers and bags are the same materials used in museum collections
when clothing or costumes and textiles are stored away and not on exhibit. 
I also try very hard to make certain that I have placed the correct weights into the Ebay postage calculating system.
I weigh everything here on my gram scale.
It is highly accurate.
If you cannot see the calculated weight on your computer based on your shipping destination,
please contact me. If you think it is wrong, there may have been a mistake made. 
I am always so happy to hear from people and always correct mistakes.

If I believe that something might break or snap because of poor handling,
I will double box it or somehow protect it.
That is why you may see a simple piece of antique ephemera such as
a recipe booklet, an antique menu, a photograph or postcard with higher than normal shipping.

If you truly do not want something shipped by Priority Mail, you must tell me this.
I will do my best to change it on the invoice.
If I cannot do this --sometimes there are glitches in the Ebay system--
then we will need to discuss it by email and I will try to cooperate with you.

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS:

I happily ship anywhere in the world.

Typically, or with help, I can understand French, German and Italian and Spanish. We also have friends who are willing to translate in other languages. Please inquire.

Shipping often takes longer than you might expect, even with International Priority Mail.
Shipping to Australia seems to take longer than expected more often than not.
I can promise to make certain that the parcels are shipped on time from here, however.
If you are concerned, please email me.

Communication usually can answer   problems or any confusion!  Please know that I will answer every email. I have always done this.
There are times when I could not return an email due to a glitch in the ebay system,
so if you do not hear from me, yes! Please! Try again!
I will be glad to answer any questions as quickly as possible.

RETURNS:

For any items sold on the Ebay Auction Format, including Buy It Now, The Gilded Griffin does not take returns and offers no refunds under any circumstances. If you have concerns or questions, please address these prior to bidding. Thank you very much!
