''HELLO, HELLO,'' friends and fellow 45 (and 7'' inch) PICTURE SLEEVE COLLECTORS, 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!
And now, with all that said...
The WINNER of this "kentuckyrebel" AUCTION will receive ONE (1) LOT of TEN (10) 100% original, RARE, and vintage SEVEN (7'') INCH 45 rpm (not cassettes, CDs, or 8-track tapes; but vinyl) record PICTURE SLEEVES (Note: NO RECORDS included; only the SLEEVES)--most as released in the UNITED STATES--as PICTURED above!
PICTURE SLEEVES are LOTTED TOGETHER due to COMMONNESS or CONDITION--or solely due to the fact I want to PASS THEM ALONG to someone who might like them more, or even any DEALERS out there--with, as stated below, none of them being junk (although some are nicer than others; with certain ones being ''FILLER'' 'til something better comes along); and, again, NONE INCLUDING THEIR ORIGINAL 45 rpm RECORDS (Repeat: NO VINYL IS INCLUDED with this listing).
If you're CURIOUS about a SPECIFIC SLEEVE, please MESSAGE me since I'm more than HAPPY to ANSWER all QUESTIONS--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 SLEEVE 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), 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!
