TV Mania Bored with Prozac and the Internet 3 LP box set 100 MADE RARE Duran

550

TV Mania - Bored with Prozac and the Internet? Limited Edition 3 LP Box Set. Only 100 MADE. Item sold out almost immediately from Vinyl Factory.

TV Mania is a side project of Duran Duran keyboardist Nick Rhodes and Duran's 90's guitarist Warren Cuccurullo. Originally conceived and recorded in the mid-90's, it wasn't until Rhodes discovered the tapes (which were misfiled) in an out-of-town storage facility that this final product was able to come to life.

Contents include:

Cloth-bound pristine white bespoke box with illustration by Vania Zouravliov

Certificate of Authenticity signed by Nick and Warren which also certifies item number. This is #37/100

Exclusive super-glossy 6x4 of Nick and Warren, taken by Andrew Day

Warren's drawing screen printed white on black PVC, in dedicated black envelope

12-page oversized gold-foiled booklet containing exclusive photographs, artwork and essays by Nick and Warren

3 LPs featuring the entire album on a double LP as well as a bonus LP featuring 6 remixes all on WHITE vinyl
 

And the coolest feature of all: An exclusive Polaroid personally taken and hand-signed by Nick. Each Polaroid is different and unique to each box!

Please note the contents of the box, and the box itself are in STONE MINT condition. The box did not come sealed, but it must be listed as "used" only for the reason that the vinyl has been played through once (on a high-end player with high-end needle). We had to do this given that modern vinyl often has pressing flaws and we could not sell this item, given its value, without making sure everything was perfect. All three LPs did play perfectly with no skips or pressing defects!

We know this item has a high price tag. But please know the price is fair considering the extreme rarity of the item, that the box cost well over $400 retail after conversion and shipping, and that there will be steep seller fees we must pay upon sale.

Box will be mailed extremely well protected.


!!COLLECTION LIQUIDATION SALE!!

Out of necessity, I am currently liquidating my entire collection of vinyl, CDs and music-related DVDs, spanning many genres including, but not limited to, metal, punk, new wave, indie and classic rock. This massive collection has been sourced by either buying brand new items, or paying special attention to used item condition. While there are many collectible items in this collection, the main focus of the collection is audiophile, and I have put intense research into sourcing these items so as to acquire the best sounding issue I could reasonably afford. In many cases the issue will be the best sounding copy of the recording in existence. As I did not have time to get around to actually listening to much of this collection, in most cases many of the newer items have been opened, but never played; so they are effectively in "as new" condition. All vinyl is visually graded as I don't have time to play grade a collection of this size.

Each listing will be started at a fair, competitive price (I don't compete with the big box sellers who usually provide poor item packaging to keep costs down). Each time the item is relisted (every 30 days), the item will be discounted 10%. Please do not contact me asking to negotiate the pricing of any item. Each item will be given a chance to sell at the asking price, then gradually discounted month by month until it sells. New items added daily until the entire collection is listed!

ABOUT ME

I am committed to accurate descriptions, transparency, and shipping your items fast and as protectively as costs will allow. All items are stored in a pet and smoke free home. All items stored correctly (LPs in poly-sleeves, vertically) and well-cared for.                                                                                 

PACKAGING

LPs: All LP records will be shipped using a "frustration-free" type LP mailer with extended edges. I have a 100% success rate with these mailers. They are made out of heavy cardboard and their unique construction holds the LP firmly in place as well as protects the jacket from the corner dings and dents that are so prevalent as a result of using standard LP mailers. Please note that, by default, I do not remove records from their jackets before shipping as most customers do not want their records shipped in this way. If you wish to have your record(s) removed from the jacket before shipping (I can do this for new records as well if you agree to having the record opened), please notify me before shipping. If you do not inform me first that you would like your album shipped in this fashion, understand that SPLIT SEAMS MAY OCCUR from USPS mishandling. Please note that records made prior to 1970 are an exception, and are automatically shipped with the vinyl outside the jacket, unless you request otherwise. LP jackets are stored and shipped in poly sleeves.

45s: Heavy cardboard dedicated 45 mailer with one 7" cardboard insert.

CDs: CDs over $10 in value will be placed in a special cardboard box, then in a bubble mailer. CDs that use special packaging, such as digipaks, or card sleeves, will also be placed in a box mailer first, regardless of item value. Thick, deluxe edition type CDs will be mailed in a special protective mailer meant just for this type of item. Standard single jewel case CDs $10 and under will be mailed in a bubble mailer with cardboard protection. Please note, standard jewel cases are susceptible to damage that may occur during shipping. I highly recommend purchasing replacement CD jewel cases online; they are cheap and a necessity for anyone serious about collecting.

DVDs/Blu-rays: DVDs over $10 in value will be placed in a special box mailer specifically designed for mailing DVDs, then in a bubble mailer. DVDs that use special packaging, such as digipaks, will also be placed in a box mailer first, regardless of item value. DVDs/Blu-rays $10 and under that use standard cases will be mailed using a bubble mailer, with cardboard protection. Please note standard DVD/Blu-ray cases are susceptible to damage that may occur during shipping. I highly recommend purchasing replacement standard DVD/Blu-ray cases online; they are cheap and a necessity for anyone serious about collecting.

OTHER: Box sets, bulk orders or items with odd shapes and sizings will be given special attention and shipped in a dedicated fashion.

I ship worldwide, but customers in the following areas MUST purchase registered mail, regardless of item value: Mexico, Central America, South America, Italy, Russia, Africa, Turkey and Greece. Registered mail will be $13.95 in addition to regular postage. You will be invoiced for this amount through Paypal after your purchase. If you do not pay this invoice in a timely manner, I must cancel the transaction.

Please note I can only ship to the Paypal address which appears in the shipping address section of your Paypal account. I cannot ship to any other address, even upon request. If your address has been entered incorrectly so as to make it not possible to ship to you using Paypal, you must modify the address before shipping. If either of these terms are not adhered to, I must cancel the transaction.

PAYMENT

I only accept Paypal. Buy It Now items require immediate payment. I do combine shipping, but only on items of similar format and size (ie CD + CD, LP + LP, 45 + 45). If you wish to combine shipping, please purchase all items, including shipping, and within 24 hours I will issue you a refund for any difference between actual shipping and what you paid. If purchasing multiple items: before sending final payment, please make sure only items of similar format are in your cart, as only one unique tracking number per transaction (package) can be issued.

RETURNS

I do not accept returns, only due to the nature of the items I sell being primarily vinyl records, many of which are new, but unsealed. Please read all listings carefully and mouse over all pictures of the item to make sure of what you are buying. Of course, all buyers are always protected under eBay's policies. If you receive a damaged or defective item, or an item that you feel is not in the condition described, please e-mail me first before leaving feedback so that I can resolve the issue. I am committed to solving any problems you may have with any item you purchase from me, as well as going above and beyond to make sure my customers are happy.

If you need to reach me regarding an item or a purchase in progress, please do so through eBay (using the "contact seller" or "message" features). Messages sent this way are sent directly to my phone, which allows me to respond in a timely fashion. Please do not initiate contact with me by using my e-mail address through an e-mail program outside of eBay, as there may be a significant delay in getting back to you. You may also attach a note to any Paypal purchase you make.
