ORIGINAL 10" JACQUES GHESTEM PHILIPS MINIGROOVE VIOLIN RECITAL NM N SHRINK

$

150

Note that I am in Switzerland - the ebay postage rates apply to US sellers only and are WRONG for foreign sellers!!! Please read carefully the information concerning postage, customs etc. before bidding. I charge only what the Swiss post office charges me but Swiss postal service is expensive; customs are the buyer's responsibility! All questions cheerfully answered and I combine shipping. Thanks.

First mono-only pressing on the original French Philips Minigroove label in beautiful NM condition, cover still in the original shrink wrap which is becoming loose - superb recital and great violin sound. Back cover does have the original Swiss record shop label and some writing in pen next to it shown in photo.

Please read the following information carefully before bidding, with special attention to shipping - I am in Switzerland, US postal rates which ebay insists on do not apply!! Bidding on this auction will be taken to mean agreement with the following terms and conditions:

SHIPPING COSTS: All records are shipped in extra-sturdy, oversize heavy cardboard mailers for maximum protection. In these mailers, a single lp weighs over 500 grammes. These provide unbeatable protection, and while they are expensive I do not charge for them. Swiss postal rates have NOT gone up, but the dollar has lost 40% of its value in relation to the franc and the Swiss post office is very strict about weight. ALL RECORDS ARE SHIPPED AT ACTUAL COSTS, AT CURRENT EXCHANGE RATES, THERE ARE NO HANDLING OR OTHER CHARGES, BUT PLEASE BEAR THE COST OF SHIPPING IN MIND WHEN YOU BID AND WHEN GIVING FEEDBACK ON SHIPPING – I DO NOT SET THE POSTAL FEES OR THE EXCHANGE RATES, AND I DO NOT CHARGE FOR EXPENSIVE MAILERS.

The following rates include registering the parcel against damage or loss, signature required for delivery, a tracking number is assigned by the Swiss post office and I send it to you when shipped, you can also follow the parcel on the website of the Swiss post office. Registered parcels are insured up to 150 Swiss francs, ca US$ 164. For items above this value, insurance up to CHF 1,000 is available, but the post office charges extra for it, and if that is requested the parcel ships at the "parcel" rate and is no longer a "maxi-letter". To insure for more than 1,000 CHF requires that the parcel be sent with a private courrier, which is more expensive still. Rates on request, or see all postal rates on the website of the Swiss post office at www.laposte.ch

Please note that it is illegal to falsify customs forms or declare items as a 'gift', and I will not do so. All items are declared at the winning value. If you want to insure at full value an item costing more than 164$, you will have to purchase extra insurance and ship at the more expensive parcel rate.

The least expensive shipping option is standard air mail, definitely air mail - slower than priority air, but not by much, can take 7-10 days for Europe, up to 3-4 weeks for the rest of the world but often much faster. For buyers outside Europe, I would definitely recommend this option. The cost of mailing from 501-1,000 grammes (from 1 to 3 or sometimes 4 standard lps) is CHF 18.50 (21$) for Europe and CHF 24 (27$) for the rest of the world. For those wishing faster delivery, the cost of mailing priority air from 501-1,000 grammes is CHF 26 (29$) for Europe, and 38 CHF or 42 dollars for the rest of the world. I gladly combine records for shipping with multiple purchases The charge for packages weighing from 1001 to 2000 grammes by standard air are CHF 30 (33$) for Europe, 38 CHF (42.50$) for the rest of the world.

Due to negative experiences please note the following conditions for bidding: PRIVATE BIDDERS AND BIDDERS WITH LESS THAN 10 FEEDBACK PLEASE CHECK WITH ME FIRST TO INDICATE THAT YOU WILL FOLLOW THROUGH ON THE TRANSACTION BEFORE BIDDING OR YOUR BID WILL BE CANCELLED!!! NO EXCEPTIONS!

Payment by PAYPAL ONLY! Winning bidder is kindly requested to contact me within 24 hours of the end of the auction and payment is expected within 48 hours of closing. Do not use the checkout feature, I will contact the winning bidder by e-mail after the end of the auction.

Due to problems with postal delivery NO SALES TO INDONESIA/MAINLAND CHINA, TAIWAN AND HONG KONG ARE FINE.

Thanks for looking, more rare vinyl listed.
