QUEEN - GREATEST HITS III EU-IMP NEW/SEALED/PRISTINE MI

$

For the past four months, I have experimented with free shipping and had hoped that it would be permanent;  however, the costs of doing so have been far greater than anticipated.  So, beginning on all items purchased as of October 1, 2011, my shipping policy will change as follows:  Media postage within the US will be a flat rate of $4.00 per box, regardless of the number of records purchased between 1 and 25 (the capacity limit of the LP mailers).  If you wish to insure the item and/or to get delivery confirmation, there is an additional cost imposed by the USPS.  Please request an invoice before paying, and I will send it with the additional costs included.

This item is a beautiful, mint and sealed UK-imp vinyl pressing of the 2-LP set entitled Queen’s Greatest Hits III.  It was released by Parlophone Records in 1999.  Queen has long been one of my favorite bands, and I feel that both Brian May and Roger Taylor are amongst the best in rock history at their respective instruments.  This album features seventeen tracks, and features Queen tracks fro their original studio releases, the later No-One But You (recorded for the Queen Rocks collection), and some solo Freddie Mercury tracks as well.  It includes the single Thank God It’s Christmas, released by Queen in the early 80’s but not included on any of their albums.  The cover features the faux silver leaf graphics.  To my knowledge, this title was not released on vinyl in the US, so it is rare and hard to come by – especially in new and still-sealed condition.

As noted above, this pressing is in new, still-sealed and absolutely pristine mint condition, as shown in the photo.                                                                            

NOTE TO ALL BUYERS OUTSIDE OF THE US:  Pursuant to Paypal Seller Protection Policy sections 11.3 and 11.4, EVERY item paid for by Paypal MUST be sent via PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL MAIL.  PLEASE NOTE THAT BIDDING ON THIS ITEM IS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS REQUIREMENT.  The fact that other sellers may send items by First Class International -- and put themselves at risk for claims -- is immaterial.  In addition, the USPS just increased their rates.  To Canada, the cost for 1 single LP is $22.75USD.  To Europe, the cost for 1 single LP is $30.75USD.  Multi-album LP sets cost more, so if you have any question at all about postage, please e-mail me before the auction ends (but please give me enough time to respond).  Other countries will be about the same as to Europe.  Combining multiple albums saves money, and I can send you the shipping costs upon request BEFORE YOU BID.  I recognize that this results in very high shipping costs, but it is of no benefit to me because the money is paid to the USPS for postage.  If you think this policy is unfair, contact Paypal -- I'm only following their rules.  If you have any questions about my shipping policy or costs, please send me an e-mail via My eBay.

I do not use stock photos.  The photo shows the actual item up for auction.

I am not a dealer, and all of the items I place up for auction are from my personal collection gathered over the past forty-plus years.  I am selling my collection little by little to pay for college expenses for my two kids, in my spare time. 

Shipping within the US is free, via media mail.  If you want Priority shipping within the U.S., the cost is a function of weight and postal zone, and I will e-mail an invoice indicating the cost of priority (I can also provide this info while the auction is pending, if you e-mail me your zip code and the number of LPs). 

Insurance through the USPS is available, and once again my invoice will provide the cost information.  

NOTE:  Sealed items are collectible because they are sealed.  Since I do not own a store, I cannot return items to the manufacturer.  Once opened, I cannot refund the purchase price in full because opening significantly affects its value. 

NOTE: Media mail does not have tracking.  The USPS offers delivery confirmation with online tracking.  If you want online tracking with delivery confirmation,  ability, you must purchase delivery confirmation for $0.75.  

International Buyers – Please Note:

·         Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

·         Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

·         These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.

·         We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

I will always combine items.  Payment may be made by paypal.  If I do not receive payment for an item within fifteen (15) days of the end of the auction and I do not hear from you in response to e-mails, I will consider the auction results void and relist the item(s) for auction.  

Should you have any questions at all about postage, the payment method or for details about any item in particular, please do not hesitate to contact me.
