THIS ITEM
IS NEW AND UNPLAYED. Used items
will include condition details for inserts, disc, and jewel
case/digi-pak/mini-jacket.
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.
PLEASE CHECK
OUT MY OTHER CURRENTLY LISTED ITEMS AND EBAY STORE.
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:

set.

$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

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
