Shipping within the US is set at $4.00 per package.  Therefore, if you buy one album, 2 albums, 10 albums or 20 albums, the shipping is $4.00.  I can fit up to about 25 single LP albums into my larger shipping box.

This item is a great kompilation 2-LP vinyl set entitled Kollektable Kinks.  It was released in the early 1980’s, and is described on the kover as “A Kolossal Komprehensive Kollektion of Kwite Rare Klassik Kuts Kulled From the Arkives”, and indeed it is.  I kould go on and on about how wonderful the Kinks are, but those of you familiar with their work already know.  So I will say this – some of the tracks on this kollection are quite rare and wonderful.  Prince of the Punks is a great single, along with the Christmas single Father Christmas – still my favorite rock and roll Christmas song EVER.  It packs a tremendous emotional wallop once you get past the fun and games.  There are the two extended “disco” versions of Low Budget and Superman, early B-sides including I Go To Sleep (later kovered by the Pretenders), Lincoln County with a great Dave Davies lead vocal, Apeman and Lola, and the ABSOLUTE GEM of this kollection – Massive Reductions.  Kasual fans will know this song from the Word of Mouth album – but real kultists will know that a DIFFERENT version of the track -- which was the UK B-side of Better Things, and a far superior version to boot.  I kan say no more than – this kollection will not disappoint.  NOTE -- the front cover shot looks bluish for some reason -- the album cover is white, and the color balance is much closer in the second "contents" photo.

The vinyl is in near-mint condition.  The kover is in excellent to near-mint kondition, as shown in the photo.

I do not use stock photos.  The photos show the actual items listed for auction.

NOTE:  Sealed albums are collectible because they are sealed.  Since I do not own a store, I cannot return items to the manufacturer.  Once an album is opened, I cannot refund the purchase price in full because opening significantly affects its value.

NOTE TO ALL BUYERS OUTSIDE OF THE US:  Pursuant to Paypal Seller Protection Policy sections 11.3 and 11.4, EVERY item paid for by Paypal MUST be sent via PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL MAIL.  PLEASE NOTE THAT BIDDING ON THIS ITEM IS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS REQUIREMENT.  In addition, the USPS has recently increased their rates yet again.  If you need the cost of postage for any item, please send me a message through My eBay, or go to the Postal Service's website.  Multi-album LP sets weigh more and, consequently cost more.  I will always combine postage, since combining multiple albums saves money. 

If you have any questions about shipping costs, please contact me BEFORE YOU BID. 

I fully recognize that this results in very high shipping costs, but it is of no benefit to me because the money is paid to the USPS for postage.  If you think this policy is unfair, contact Paypal -- I'm only following their Seller Protection Rules.  The fact that other sellers may send items by First Class International -- and put themselves at risk for claims -- is immaterial.  If you have any questions about my shipping policy or costs, please send me an e-mail via My eBay.

I am not a dealer, and all of the items I place up for auction are from my personal collection gathered over the past forty-plus years.  I am selling my collection little by little, to pay for college expenses for my two kids, in my spare time.  Shipping within the US is $4.00 per package, via media mail, regardless of the number of records up to 25.  If you want Priority shipping within the U.S., the cost is a function of weight and postal zone.  Send me a note at the conclusion of the auction, and I will send an invoice indicating the cost of priority (I can also provide this info while the auction is pending, if you e-mail me your zip code and the number of LPs).  Insurance through the USPS is available, and once again send me a note requesting that insurance be included in the invoice

PLEASE NOTE: Media mail does not have tracking.  The USPS offers delivery confirmation with online tracking.  If you want online tracking with delivery confirmation, please let me know and I will send an invoice including the cost for delivery confirmation, which is currently $0.80.  

International Buyers – Please Note:

·  Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

·  Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

·  These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.

·  I do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

Payment may be made by paypal.  If I do not receive payment for an item within fifteen (15) days of the end of the auction and I do not hear from you in response to e-mails, I will consider the auction results void and relist the item(s) for auction.
