''HELLO, HELLO,'' friends and fellow 45 LOVERS, and WELCOME to kentuckyrebel'srock'n'rollheaven!
As many of you know, I've been COLLECTING for over FORTY YEARS, and selling MUSIC MEMORABILIA on eBay over TWENTY (and MANY MORE YEARS in the outside world, long before online auctions came to pass), and continue to SHARE THE WEALTH as I THIN OUT MY OWN, PERSONAL COLLECTION, if only to MAKE ROOM FOR NEW THINGS I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT!
THANKS, too, for the interest in my music group's last CD, "LISTEN UP... IT'S THE ECHOES"--free downloadable samples being AVAILABLE ONLINE at AllMusic and, of course, THE ECHOES OFFICIAL WEBSITE--and for the overwhelming response to our follow-up CD, "NOW HEAR THIS," online and in stores now!
I recently purchased the entire CONTENTS of a JUKEBOX from a fellow COLLECTOR located in the UNITED KINGDOM. After picking out the pieces I wanted, I'm now LISTING the rest for anyone interested in STOCKING their own JUKEBOX, or just picking up the interesting ITEM or two.
Few, if any, of the EPs or 45s are MINT--since, after all, they HAVE BEEN PLAYED--but they've still got PLENTY of LIFE left in them! There may be the occasional light scuff or hairline scratch, or even a small handful of fingerprints from recent handling, as well as possible blemishes or writing on the labels. Hopefully, the SCANS say it all! These aren't so much for DISPLAYING as they are for PLAYING; but I don't believe anyone (but the greatest nitpickers of all time) should be disappointed with their purchase.
SINGLES come with pictured SLEEVES; with the SLEEVES, likewise, showing possible splits, tape, tears, or writing (again, please SEE SCANS) and, in the case of COMPANY or actual PICTURE SLEEVES, the SLEEVES may be of just as much, or even more, INTEREST to fellow COLLECTORS than the EPs or 45s they contain!
And now, with all that said...
The WINNER of this "kentuckyrebel" AUCTION will receive ONE (1) 100% original, RARE, and vintage SEVEN (7'') INCH 45 rpm (not a cassette, CD, or 8-track tape; but vinyl) record by LOVE SCULPTURE--as released in the UNITED KINGDOM--for the song:
"SABRE DANCE'' b/w "THINK OF LOVE!''
VINYL, again, HAS BEEN PLAYED, and LABELS may show some degree of wear or writing (PLEASE SEE PICTURES PROVIDED)--my hating to GRADE my items anymore since so many sellers seem to abuse the old Goldmine system: adding a plethora of plusses with their own definitions of VG, EX, NM, etc. However, as my FEEDBACK STATES, I don't sell junk (since I, personally, don't like buying junk on eBay--or anywhere else, for that matter); and feel certain that this auction is SURE TO PLEASE the fellow 45 rpm COLLECTOR and / or CONNOISSEUR (especially at the OPENING BID)!*
NOTE: This MUSIC-related AUCTION is only ONE (1) among MANY I'll be listing THIS WEEKEND and in the MANY MONTHS to come; so put me on your FAVORITE SELLERS list, all you AUDIOPHILES, and sign up for my FREE eBay store NEWSLETTER, highlighting NEW AUCTIONS and special SALES each week!
*As both my eBay FEEDBACK and NOTES from HAPPY BIDDERS can attest, I tend to GRADE my items a bit HARSHLY; but would rather a WINNING BIDDER be pleasantly SURPRISED (as opposed to extremely disappointed) with any TRANSACTION.
I always COMBINE SHIPPING on multiple auctions, and prefer to ship items by PRIORITY MAIL (available is asked for; and, in the case of ITEMS SUCH AS THIS, can ship ALL THE SINGLES AND SLEEVES YOU WANT for the price of a PRIORITY MAIL FLAT RATE ENVELOPE), but will make concessions since MEDIA MAIL is so much more inexpensive when able to be used. And, in the case of ALL MEDIA ITEMS I have listed, I’ll ship ALL THE BOOKS, CDs, DVDs, MAGAZINES, NEWSPAPERS, RECORDS, SHEET MUSIC, OR VIDEOS YOU CARE TO WIN for the MEDIA MAIL price listed below, with TRACKING, for all ITEMS PAID FOR IN A SINGLE TRANSACTION (meaning DON’T PAY ’TIL ALL OF THE AUCTIONS YOU’RE BIDDING ON HAVE ENDED)! I also REFUND any amount overpaid on POSTAGE--although given I always add INSURANCE, and the fact eBay takes 10% of shipping off the top, I tend to lose money on, rather than profit from, POSTAL COSTS.
Reluctantly, with the USPS having continued to RAISE THEIR RATES FOR ITEMS LEAVING THE COUNTRY--which all but killed my OVERSEAS SALES--coupled with eBay's insisting I provide TRACKING and PayPal insisting I add INSURANCE, I joined the eBay GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM in hopes of saving my buyers money, but have since found out that this isn't always so. In cases such as these, I'm more than happy to look into OVERSEAS POSTAGE myself, when asked, and definitely recommend this for buyers wanting to make MULTIPLE PURCHASES since eBay's GLOBAL SHIPPING doesn't tend to COMBINE SHIPPING, and I can usually save my customers a considerable amount when handling SHIPMENT for them directly.
As this is an AUCTION--and not a DEPARTMENT STORE--I don't accept RETURNS; but since I try to be as thorough as possible in my descriptions, always include INSURANCE at my own expense, and (as my FEEDBACK notes) am known for my PACKING ABILITIES, there should be no foreseeable problems. I'm also known for my "LIGHT YEAR" / speedy SHIPMENT upon receiving PAYMENT; and always NOTIFY my buyers when payment is received and their item has SHIPPED!
THANK YOU for looking; and PLEASE feel free to CONTACT ME with any QUESTIONS you have about this or any other of my eBay AUCTIONS, check my eBay STORE, read my ABOUT ME page, ask about my music group THE ECHOES, and please check out my other AUCTIONS on eBay THIS WEEKEND!
