THIS ITEM IS NEW AND UNPLAYED. Used items will include condition
details for inserts, disc, and jewel case.
NOTE TO POTENTIAL BUYERS:
If the tray card, bar code, jewel case, insert, or digi-pak is punched,
marked, or cut in any manner, denoting a promotional/review copy, I will state
that as part of the item description. Also if an issue is a "music
club" edition, that will be noted in the item description.
If you have any questions or if you have additional information,
especially corrections, to the description, please e-mail me. I particularly
enjoy when an artist, band member, or someone who has personal background
knowledge of a particular album/artist and offers their insight/information of
that recording, which I will include with the description for future listings
of that release. As a collector of many years, part of the hobby side for me is
to learn about the background of the artists and music that I collect.
Hopefully, sharing some of this information in my descriptions will help
educate and enhance your listening experience.

TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS:
Unless noted, all CDs come
sealed in standard jewel cases. Mini-Jackets, digi-paks, and variable packaging
will be noted. Any item that does not come sealed will be placed inside of a
clear resealable outer sleeve at the time it is received by me. All items that do not come in an outer packaging wrap are
inspected by me prior to shipping. It is not unusual to find small
imperfections in the CD disc, especially on European manufactured CDs; these
small imperfections do no affect the play of the disc. If, for any reason, a
disc does not play it is fully guaranteed by me and is returnable for refund or
replacement (see my return policy below for more details). Also an unsealed
jewel case may show light signs of warehouse/transit storage wear on the outer
surface of the jewel case. If an unsealed jewel case is received by me broken,
it will be replaced with a new jewel case before shipping; sealed CDs received
with minor cracked/damaged jewel cases will be noted as such in the item’s
description and will be shipped as is.
ABBREVIATIONS:
SS or SLD: Still Sealed or
Sealed. Short abbreviation that will appear in the title line of my listings.
This item is new and unplayed. Also appears in the listing description as
Sealed CD or Factory Sealed CD.
NEW CD: This item is new
and unplayed, but was received from a supplier without being shrink wrapped or
cellophane wrapped; more common on imports but also many of the smaller independent
US labels do not seal their CDs; some have it both ways (for which I have no
prior knowledge of or choice when placing my orders). Other companies use
resealable clear outer sleeves which are used on some import and domestic
releases. If I receive an item this way it will be shipped as I received it and
not opened up. Items received unwrapped are placed inside of a resealable clear
outer mylar sleeve at the time they are received.
GFC or GF: Gate
fold cover, refers to a style of mini-jacket CDs.
S/T: Self-Titled
2/1: This
denotes that 2 albums are on 1 single CD.
REMAST: Remastered. More specific sourcing will
follow within the item’s description when available.
OOP: Out
Of Print.
MIX: This sometimes
appears in my title line and refers to a group's/artist's music having a mix of
styles such a rock track with jazz then followed by a straight rock track
followed by a psych rock track, etc., as opposed to a blues album with the
album's tracks having predominantly one style.
XT, XTKS, or #XTKS: Usually in lower case type as part of the
title line, denotes bonus tracks on this release (extra track, extra tracks, or
the number of extra tracks).
ULC, LRC, etc.: Upper Left Corner, Lower Right Corner, etc.
used in referencing the area of a defect or blemish to the jewel case or
packaging.
MULTIPLE ITEM
PURCHASERS: My automatically generated invoices do not
apply discounted shipping for multiple items purchased. I recommend that you
wait until you receive my invoice with the proper discounted shipping total
before making your payment. If you make your payment with full
shipping/handling charges per item I will issue a refund for the overage to
your Paypal account or however eBay’s upcoming Managed Payment program works
it. If you are outside the US
you can e-mail me prior to your purchase for a shipping total; as weight does
vary, include the specific titles you are interested in purchasing. US
customers whose purchases include CD(s) along with LP(s) will be shipped via
media mail. Single purchases of 4 or more CDs and/or packages (box-sets as one
example) that exceed the first class weight limit (15 oz.) will ship via media
mail. Please e-mail me with any questions you may have.
TERMS OF AUCTION/SALE:
Buyer pays for POSTAGE & HANDLING:
US and INTERNATIONAL
shipping rates are as of July
28, 2020. Any subsequent increase in shipping costs will take precedence over
the below rates.
U.S. Shipping:
$4.00 via USPS media mail
for this item and any additional items purchased with it.
$1.25 for each additional single
CD set and/or
$1.50 for each additional double
CD set.
All US packages are processed for
shipping via eBay and include a tracking number.
You will receive confirmation of shipping via eBay with your tracking number.
Payment for all customers will now
be handled by eBay's managed payment service (effective the earliest in
mid-July of 2020). Make sure your payment preference meets eBay's payment
options before you purchase to avoid any delays in shipping your purchase.
Priority mail is available upon
request, please wait for my invoice with the appropriate shipping total via
Ebay before making payment.
Payment must be
received within 5 days from the close of an auction item or date of set sale
purchase. If you can not meet my payment schedule please e-mail me
with your needs. I only ask that you keep me informed. Items are shipped in
professional corrugated mailers. If there are any other needs of your purchase
please e-mail me before you make your payment and I will do my best to
accommodate them.
INTERNATIONAL Shipping:
I ship worldwide. All packages
listed prior to July 20, 2020 will ship via First-Class Package International
Service (this is the cheapest method available to me); multiple item purchases
of 4 pounds or more must ship Priority Package International Service.
Items listed after July 20, 2020
for international destinations may ship via eBay’s Standard International
Shipping Service, though the shipping category will display First Class Package
International Service. This is a new service implemented by eBay in conjunction
with the USPS. As of July 1, 2020 the USPS is no longer offering tracking to
many countries for First Class Package International Service (those countries
that do will continue being shipped via First Class Package International
Service). This will be the only way to get tracking to most international
destinations unless you want to pay the higher rate for Priority or Global
Express. Tracking for this service can only be monitored
through your eBay account (not direct through the USPS website). As we
transition to this program I will adjust the shipping charges as necessary and
would appreciate any customer comments on this service. The plus here is having
tracking available without the expense of higher class mail rates, though this
does involve an additional step in handling. This is also new to me so check
with eBay for further details on this international shipping service.
Shipping Price for Single or
Double CDs via First Class Package International Service (does not include box
sets or non-standard packaging). Standard International Service will ship at
the same below rates; adjustments will be made as I become more familiar with
this service:
Canada: $11.50
Europe: $14.45
Asia, Japan,
Australia, New Zealand: $16.85
Mexico, Central and South America: $36.00 via Priority International Small Flat
Rate Box Service with tracking (up to 3 standard jewel case CDs will fit in one
small flat rate box with no additional shipping fee).
NOTE: Multiple item shipping charges will be
determined by weight. Based on the latest international postal rate increase
for multiple item packages weighing 9 oz. to 16 oz add an additional 62% of the
base rate to estimate the total shipping cost. If the total weight of your
package is 8oz. or less you will be charged the base rate for a single item
(most digi-paks and some jewel case releases will ship two for 8oz or less).
This also applies to packages weighing 9oz to 16oz. For example 4 standard
jewel case CDs usually weigh just under 16 oz. (this includes the standard
corrugated mailer), if you lived in the UK your shipping cost would be (approx)
$14.45 + 62% = $24.90 for shipping. I will gladly estimate your shipping costs
before you make your purchase. Include the specific titles you are considering
with your request.
Payment for all customers will now
be handled by eBay's managed payment service (effective the earliest in
mid-July of 2020). Make sure your payment preference meets eBay's payment
options before you purchase to avoid any delays in shipping your purchase. All
international payments are due in US $ only. Payment must be received
within 5 days after close of bidding or date of purchase.
I have been
shipping records and CDs around the world for over 35 years, so purchase with
confidence. Items are shipped in professional corrugated mailers with
additional inside packing layer. If security is a major concern then please
request Registered Mail, available
upon request and at your expense (required
on all bids/purchases totaling $100 or more; this will be included with the
invoiced shipping total). Priority Mail International and Global Express Mail International
are available upon your request and at your expense. If you have any questions
please e-mail me. If there are any other needs of your purchase please e-mail
me prior to making your payment and I will do my best to accommodate them.
*ALL CUSTOMERS*
HANDLING TIME:
Packages are
usually shipped with in 24-hours, excepting weekends and holidays. NOTE: This is not the same
thing as delivery time, which begins once a package is turned over to the post
office; averaging 3-7 business days for US delivery and 5 days to 3 weeks
for international delivery. International delivery is largely determined on how
long it takes your local customs to process its mail.
RETURN POLICY:
Please e-mail me with specific
details and I will get back to you with your options. I ask that if there is a
problem with the item that you contact me as soon as possible after receiving
