A similar sealed copy of "3" recently sold on eBay. It is rare that one copy of this delightful box set becomes available for purchase. It is Very rare that a second copy comes up for auction two weeks later...and it is EXTREMELY rare and FORTUNATE when THREE Sealed copies become available to the public within a two week time span!

Do not miss this opportunity to own this fantastic box set!

MY BACKGROUND

First and foremost, I have been a SERIOUS collector of recorded media for about fifty years. I have bought, sold, and traded duplicate items, or genres that I had no great interest in, however, I am not a dealer or a record store owner. Over the past few years my passion for buying vinyl has turned into more of an obsession. Although I have DRASTICALLY cut back on my buying sprees,I still have THOUSANDS of records that fill virtually any empty space in my home. It is time for me to "let go" and return to a "normal" life by greatly reducing my decades old accumulation.

This box set is part of the store stock that I acquired from a dealer a few years ago. There are approximately 1,200 SEALED LPs that I will be auctioning off as time permits. These represent various genres and range from fairly common to rare and obscure LPs. They have resided in my air conditioned, smoke free, pet free home since I acquired them. Being factory sealed, there is no way that they can be physically inspected or test played, and are being sold in as is condition. I have sold or traded a few dozen of the sealed LPs locally with no problems or complaints.

CONDITION

This is the original issue in a hemp burlap box, with Harper's image silkscreened on the front and a "target" image silkscreened on the back. This would be perfect condition except for a few minor flaws which I will describe.The vinyl sticker on the front of the box has been creased and has a very minor tear. The shrink wrap has split along the top edge on the back side (see picture). Three corners of the box have protruded slightly through the shrink wrap and have barely noticeable signs of wear. There is a slight indentation ( less than 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch )on the left box seam. Most sellers would probably consider these items insignificant and would not mention them. I, however, HATE SURPRISES when I buy a record without being able to first inspect it, so I will try to accurately describe the condition of this item. If you have any questions, please email me through the "Ask the seller a question" link BEFORE you bid! Thanks again for looking at my auction. and GOOD LUCK IN BIDDING!!!
