LIQUIDATION SALE

I have been in the United States for the past year but I do not live here. I am returning to Prague and I must liquidate 15,000 records through my various sources. Here is your chance to acquire many rare, hard-to-find and great play copies of your favorite bands in super quality. I have been selling records since 1999. You can trust me to get it right in the listing and on the rare occasions if something goes haywire to make it right. Check my feedback.

I want to make this very simple. I must list a Store Price since I do not want to put all 15,000 records in auctions, but for  every record $19.95 or over there will be a ”Make an Offer” button. Make me a reasonable offer and it is yours; make me an absurdly low offer and I won’t respond. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to differentiate between the two. I want to sell records not give them away. Serious buyers will have the chance to acquire as many records as they want at super-eBay prices. I am willing to negotiate.

I will be changing over all current listings to this template as they expire. For records listed in the old way, send me an e-mail with your offer. If we agree, I will adjust the price accordingly. I DO NOT TAKE DOWN eBay listings early but I do adjust prices.

As always every transaction gets my personal attention and TLC. For every record $8.95 or higher, you can expect the following. Records that are sold for less than $8.95 will have the translucent outer sleeves but original sleeves if possible but no MoFi archival inner sleeves.

1)      Superior quality records and covers

2)      VPI record machine cleaning of each record*

3)      Translucent outer sleeves

4)      MoFi professional archival inner sleeves

5)      Sharing my knowledge about music and recommendations from my 40+ years experience

6)      Careful and professional packing with records shipped outside the jackets

7)      14-day no questions asked return policy

8)      Accurate visual grading under a strong light and play-grading as time allows.

9)      Complete scans of covers, inserts and labels

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

International shipments are usually sent FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL but due increasingly poor post office reliability and the increasing losses arising out of international shipments, all orders over $50 in product will be sent (and invoiced accordingly) by either FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL or PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL at my discretion considering the destination. Since I do not know the total amount or destination until after I receive the sold e-mail from eBay, this could result in an updated invoice or a supplemental invoice. The problem is that USPS does not track FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL any longer nor can it be insured. Due to eBay policies, sellers are faced with either using FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL and hoping that the package does arrive (and if not refund the full buyer's payment after having already paid the shipping cost which was paid at the time the item was sent) or having to set a policy where a more-expensive service is required at some point. I added this paragraph reluctantly.

The SUBJECTIVE GRADING I use is:

VG (- or +), VG+ or VG++ = EX, NM-/NM

PLEASE NOTE

Due to the fact that I am selling so many records especially to international customers, I have had to change from the personalized, written descriptions of the condition of each record to the table below. I did this reluctantly since the written paragraphs were more personal but it took too too much time to list.

If you have questions, send me an e-mail.

MECKI MARK MEN (Limelight Records, 1969)   DROOLING CONDITION (FS & OFFERS)

COVER: The COVER is in SUPER SHAPE but it is NOT perfect. The texture of all four faces is like new. Your fingertips just feel that like-new tingle. There is SLIGHT ring wear that you can barely see.There is also a little creasing on the upper right front and a slight crunch on the bottom front corner. The gatefold (actually UNIPACK) is excellent and the inside faces of the gatefold are like new. And it does have a punch hole in the upper left front.Nothing I mentioned above is much of an issue but they are there adn sound a LOT WORSE THAN THERE ARE WHEN YOU SEE THE COVER! I have not seen a better cover of this album EVER although until a few years ago I did not even know it existed!

GATEFOLD: INTACT and beautiful

SPINE/SEAMS: No rips, tears or splits in the spine or seams

SLIT OPENING: Virtually NO breakdown of the paperboard

VINYL: When I tilted the disc under a strong light, the disc is very shiny. I could not find anything wrong. I saw a few superficial paper scratches I guess but I had to twist and turn the disc under a strong light.Of course I will play it prior to sending but it looks wonderful.

Records are visually graded but I play as many as I can so I will catch most problems but sometimes I don't.

Contact me FIRST if you have a problem with any record. Back-stabbing, anonymous low marks of ‘1’s or ‘2’s are not appreciated since I have NEVER failed to resolve any issue with a buyer. I cannot grade EVERY RECORD to EACH PERSON'S satisfaction. I received my first anonymous low mark in 14 years of eBay selling and it has not set well with me. I don't know who gave it to me. Since the buyer didn't contact me, I wasn’t given the chance to make it right. That is not right. So I was annoyed, the buyer is not happy with the record and I couldn’t take care of it. Doesn’t make any sense to me since it was all avoidable.

LABELS: Virtually No spindle marks.
