...CD singles
When commercial CD singles were introduced to the music market in the mid 80's, they found a warm welcome among fans and collectors. Bonus and non-album tracks, special versions and mixes - exclusively available on CD singles - made singles desirable and collectible. In contrast to the majority of albums, singles always get deleted (= they are no longer manufactured) within a short period of time after their release or occasionally withdrawn to push album sales. Nowadays, many singles are hard to find and sought-after items, especially in satisfying condition. Prices earned often exceed those of albums. Whereas maxi CD single sales soon became an important factor in the music industry in Europe (particularly Germany & UK) and Japan, the format never attracted notable interest in the US.

Due to the recent struggling music market that is causing massive changes in the music industry and to single charts, the format's future remains in doubt. CD single sales are on an enormous downfall, record companies gradually turn their back on maxi editions, replace them with / or add 2-tracks, release only limited quantities or don't even bother with releases anymore. Media chains and music stores reduce their supply, eventually increase their prices. It's getting harder and harder to get hold of CD singles. The end of this physical format seems to be inevitable. - Update 2010 - the maxi CD single market basically is dead, mostly 2-track singles are issued.

You have a question about an item or a different matter? Please send me a message and I'll be happy to respond quickly.
Kind of a final clearance, now on the eve of the final curtain for the CD single. It's over, sadly. Proper maxi singles often aren't issued anymore. Just a few 2-track singles are still being released. So let's see what final gems I can offer - you might be surprised.Looking for a European new release that isn't listed? Send me a quick message and I'll be happy to inform about availability. I am also willing to offer valued repeat customers discount. Discount will be calculated based on price, stock and quantity of items purchased.


quality, handling & delivery time
Please bid and buy with confidence. I sell original CDs, basically new and out-of-print CD singles, plus rare collector's items and special editions. European CD singles are typically housed in slim jewel cases. Most new European CDs don't come factory sealed - they are in mint condition nevertheless - never been touched. You will receive the best quality available. I set great value upon quality and perfect condition of all items.

Items are stored in smoke-free, cool and dry environment, they will be packaged in protective padded cardboard-stiffened envelopes or boxes and sent by airmail usually from Monday to Saturday promptly after payment is received. I will send you an ebay message to confirm shipping - usually in bulk a while after shipping. Rest assured your package is on its way.

From my recent experiences in Nov/Dec 2010, delivery time within Europe is 3-8 business days, outside Europe 8-13 business days on average, it may take longer to Australia, South America and certain exotic countries - like 3-4 weeks to South America on average.

Update November 2011 ... recent delays are reported about Canada and Australia. 5-6 weeks for international delivery do happen sometimes and often, please be aware of that. Canadian transit system seems to be a total desaster. I'm actually considering to block Canada as a result.

Delivery seems to be slower than 2 years ago. Probably because of tightened rules and the latest security threats. I bluntly suppose it's now 8-13 days on average outside Europe esp. to USA - when in the past it used to be 4-9 days. However, customers occasionally report longer delivery times. For the estimated delivery time to USA that ebay requires to indicate, I have the problem to choose between two options: 5-10 days standard and 11-20 days economy shipping. I have now decided for 11-20 days. Everyone please also bear in mind delays due to possible severe local weather conditions.



payment options

If you have any questions regarding payment, don't hesitate to contact me
and I'll be happy to assist you.


PayPal
After the auction/purchase of one item please use the Checkout (Pay Now). I usually do not send an invoice for one item.

For payment procedure for combined shipping of several items please read below at shipping rates. Payment for items with combined shipping must be sent in one, not in split payments.



shipping rates
Shipping rates reflect actual postage fees (depending on weight categories), handling and the exchange rates. I have always calculated rates as low as possible, you will not be overcharged. I have a hard time adjusting shipping costs and do not make any profit from them. My listing price of each item includes shipping for just this one item. I pass savings from combined shipping along to you. That's the reason why eventually reductions from the final sum for 2 and more items arise. A general shipping chart is listed below. If you are unsure about your correct sum or filling the PayPal form, don't hesitate to contact me.

Example: You buy 3 items, each at $20. Final sum prior to reduction is $60, but you only pay $52 (worldwide) [$60-$8] or $55 (Latin America) [$60-$5] in the end.

Latin / South American buyers please note the different final prices and that shipping for one item is with $3 extra! ... Compradores de Sur America, tomen en cuenta que los cargos de envio son diferentes! La informacion de ebay sobre "envio gratis" es incorrecta. Cuesta $3 adicionales para esa region. No usen la opcion de checkout/finalizar compra. Por favor, esperen a recibir por invoice/mensaje el total actualizado. Gracias.

Checkout for combined shipping of 2 and more items: As I sadly have learnt that it's not possible in the PayPal form to integrate discounts / reductions from the item prices - (only from shipping charges, but mine are zero) - you first have to pay the full prices of all items when you use Checkout. At the moment, it is technically impossible to reduce the item prices in the Checkout or add discounts additionally. I apologize for this trouble, it is not my fault. I wish I could avoid all this hassle. Had I known about this issue, I may not have organised my items with 'free shipping'.

I will refund you the shipping discount on Paypal separately afterwards - after (!) you received your items, otherwise new problems with PayPal would arise. Sighs. (If you pay via credit card through PayPal, and not via your balance, the refund takes a while to appear on your statement.)
