ALBUM IS IN BETTER SHAPE.THAT IS THE EXTENT OF THE DESCRIPTION. NOTE MY ELABORATE DESCRIPTION ABOVE. NOTE: INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS VERY EXPENSIVE DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF THIS ITEM. YOU HAVE TO WANT IT REALLY BADLY. ABOUT FINAL VINYL RESTING PLACE: THE STORE WAS OPENED IN JANUARY, 2009. IT HAS BEEN OPEN OVER 2 YEARS AND I HAVE SOLD OVER 10000 RECORDS SINGLY AND IN LOTS. I TRY TO HAVE THE LOWEST PRICES FOR RARE AND COMMON RECORDS AND OTHER ITEMS AVAILABLE ON EBAY AND/OR THE INTERNET. ITEMS ARE TYPICALLY SOLD FOR 20%-30% OF BOOK VALUE OR WHAT OTHERS ARE SELLING THEM FOR – RARELY MORE. SHIPPING: I DO NOT CHARGE FLAT OR OUTRAGEOUS RATES FOR SHIPPING. SHIPPING IS USUALLY CALCULATED BY THE SHIPPING CALCULATOR SUPPLIED BY EBAY USING THE ACTUAL ITEM WEIGHT PLUS PACKAGING. (EBAY NOW REQUIRES THAT EVERY SELLER USE IT.) ON LARGER VOLUMES OF RECORDS, THE EBAY CALCULATOR ONLY GOES BY THE FULL POUND AND YOU PAY MORE FOR SHIPPING. I RECALCULATE THE COST MYSELF USING THE ACTUAL USPS RATES WHICH SAVE YOU $$$. I SEND EVERY PACKAGE MEDIA MAIL (1ST CLASS IF THE DIFFERENCE IS PENNIES) TO KEEP YOUR COSTS LOW . IF YOU WANT YOUR ITEM SHIPPED OTHER THAN MEDIA MAIL, YOU MUST BE WILLING TO PAY EXTRA FOR IT. THAT’S USPS POLICY, NOT MINE. JUST SELECT WHAT METHOD YOU WANT FROM THE DROP-DOWN LIST AND RECALCULATE THE SHIPPING COST. YOU MAY ALSO OPT FOR INSURANCE ON ANY ITEM AT EXTRA COST. I DON'T PROVIDE IT UNLESS YOU ASK FOR IT - WITH ONE EXCEPTION: INSURANCE IS MANDATORY FOR 78 RPM RECORDS. BUYERS MUST REALIZE THAT THE ONLY WAY ANY SELLER CAN GUARANTEE THAT AN ITEM ARRIVES SAFELY AND INTACT IS TO HAND-DELIVER THE ITEM.BEWARE: THE USPS NOW RANDOMLY OPENS MEDIA MAIL. MAYBE BECAUSE OF SECURITY BUT YOU CAN'T ALWAYS TRUST THOSE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT AND SERVE. ONE OF MY BUYER... read more
