Hi,

For bid is a very rare copy of Echoes by A.R & Machines . This is an German pressing on Polydor 2437 108.  The cover would be M- if not for a sticker that left some residue in the upper left corner. Very, very minor ring wear starting on the rear, due to the 2 lps pressing against the cover. Laminate is pretty much intact, maybe some very minor lifting in a very few spots. Minor corner dings.  The Vinyl has been played and you can hear some scratches in the quiet parts. Side 2 on about 2 tracks show some residue of some type, It could use a good cleaning which may help it out. I would rate the 4 sides from  VG+ to EX-- in several parts. Several tracks are very quiet. I did not hear any skipping. This is rare as hell and almost never up for bid.  This is a photo of the actual item.  I can photo additional if needed, This has been in my possession for over 25 years. It is not a recent reissue.

All records are visually graded unless still sealed. Please be aware of the condition when you bid.

Condition

Payment Shipping and holding items

If I receive payment by early Saturday morning, I try to ship right after auction ends. Otherwise items will go out mid week, the following week.

Combined shipping and holding items.

I have no problem holding items to save on shipping costs. 4 per box is the max per shipping and will not make the package too heavy and I can use enough protective pads to cushion them,

I have to adjust my conditions due to some of eBay’s quirkiness. After 30 days I can no longer combine payments since they drop off of eBay’s list. All buyers must pay within 21 days if you request to combine shipping. If you want to wait even longer to get up to the 4 per box, I will send you an additional invoice and adjust the shipping to reflect the other items. Each additional US shipping is about $1.00 more for each lp up to a max of $6.95 for 4 shipped Media mail. $2.00 more per lp to ship Priority. International adds about $3.50 more for each LP. Gatefolds also increase the weight of the package.

I am not responsible for damaged goods, lost goods or theft.

I package things the way I have cared for them for over 30 plus years and I want to ensure that you receive them the same way. I stamp the packages with fragile warnings so that hopefully the post office does not play football with your package. All US packages are sent delivery confirmation. That is the best I can do. If you do not agree with my shipping policy PLEASE DO NOT BID. Thanks for all your support and I'm glad you enjoy them.

I really try to wrap and send things well packaged. I try to send you a photo of the package when it leaves my care.

USA Customers: New Shipping rates

Please note NEW shipping rates and let me know what you prefer.

Priority Mail is $9.95 and you get the mailer and 2 pads and delivery confirmation. It also gets there in a couple of days. Priority is very costly; I have no control over the post office rates.

International Customers

I appreciate your business and want to continue to sell my great records overseas. I had 4 instances of packages not arriving or arriving up to 2 months late. By then Paypal has deducted my income due to their policy. You can read my feedback as I ship all over the world and out of over 300+ shipments, 4 have not made it to their overseas destination. There are 2 ways to ship and unfortunately they are both expensive. First Class International (FCI), which is Air mail and First Class Priority. There, is no ground or surface available. Also, FCI cannot be tracked or insured. All I receive for FCI is a customs number proving I sent the item. My proof on my receipt is the customs number, the date the item was shipped and the country it was shipped to. It does not include your name. This is my proof that I shipped to you, all bidders must agree to take full responsibility if they select FCI. This includes ALL those who pay via Paypal. If you do not agree with this, PLEASE DO NOT BID! If you want protection, insurance is available using Priority Mail. I will not ship any item over $125.00 without insurance. If you want to save money on shipping, I am very willing to hold items and combine shipping. Each additional lp adds about $3.50 to the base shipping price.  Shipping rates just increased in the USA on May 4 2009. The price of the shipping is clearly on the post office stamp.  I make no money on the shipping portion, the post office does.

Customs value

I keep getting requests occasionally about lowering the value of your items. I realize that customs value is something that you are sometimes required to pay, I am not responsible for this charge, please do not ask me to lower the value of the item so that you pay less customs. The price of the item is what I receive; any tax is your responsibility. It is unlawful to lie about the items contents and value. If this raises the price more than you are willing to pay due to the duty tax. Please do not bid.

Thanks again.
