Sub Pop Complete Set Singles Club V2 - White Stripes

$

900

This is a fabulous set of records. You need to own it. You know you do. You will be bidding on a complete set of 49 Sub Pop Singles Club V2 records. Make sure you also take a look at my other auction for the first 150 Sub Pop 7"s. You have the opportunity to own the entire run of Sub Pop Singles Club singles.

This is a very long page.  Please read all details of the auction, including payment and shipping details, before bidding.  

I have tried to give as many details about the conditions of these records as possible.  There is an epidemic on eBay of overgraded vinyl.  I have tried to be as honest as possible.  This means that I have attempted to exercise excruciating detail about the conditions, and am probably mentioning a lot of things that many would omit.  In fact, a large portion of the records in this set were previously listed on eBay as "Mint" or "NM".  It takes an awful lot for me to issue a grade like that.  I try to list everything.  One thing that is often overlooked by sellers is warp in records.  I have tested all of these, and if there is any warp to them, I note it, and it is small and inaudible.  It is much more likely that a 4-6 year old record (this set) can achieve perfect marks than a 13-19 record (my other set).  Still, I have scrutinized.  The vast majority of this set looks unplayed.  I know it has been played once (see two paragraphs down).  

The discography information detailed below is also as accurate as possible.  There is some conflicting information out there on this subject, and I have tried to compile the most accurate discography data.  So if nothing else, use this as a reference guide and enjoy the ride.  Click on the images to see larger versions.

As a BONUS: I have recorded every record in here, and will include with the auction data cds containing the audio files for EVERY 7" listed.  This was a big project, and now you can benefit from my work.  No, I will not be selling this file collection separately.

Pay me

U.S. - PayPal only.  Outside U.S. - PayPal preferred, but I can do a bank transfer from within Europe if that is the only option. The PayPal fees will cost you less than those associated with a bank transfer (plus, then you can use credit cards!).

Postage

This part is tricky.  Here's the situation.  I am currently living in Switzerland, but will be in New York for a week in late October.  Therefore, U.S. buyers have two choices - pay U.S. shipping costs with maximum insurance (required), or you can pick the set up in New York in late October.  European buyers can either pay the air freight costs from Switzerland (also with maximum insurance required), or can pick the set up in Geneva.  If you opt for the Geneva pick-up option, you must pick them up by November 30th.  Outside of the U.S. and Europe, you pay air shipping with maximum insurance.  Also, I will declare actual paid values on customs forms.  Please take this into account when bidding. The big box of singles weighs about 11 lbs (5 kg). I WILL combine shipping if you win my other auction as well.  Prices:
- U.S. Media Mail: $10.00
- U.S. Priority Mail: $25.00
- U.S. Parcel Post: $25.00
- Europe - Country adjacent to Switzerland: $40.00
- Europe - UK, Spain, or other country not adjacent to Switzerland: $50.00
- Africa, Asia: $65.00
- South America, Australia: $70.00

Insurance is MANDATORY.  I know the prices are odd.  It has to do with the different postal systems.  The cost:
- U.S.: $20.00
- Rest of world: $15.00.
