Synopsis
Since the term was first coined in the 1950s, the abbreviation for disc jockey has gained new dimensions of meaning. DJs have evolved from mere turntable operators and announcers of radio hits into artists in their own right, responsible in large part for the advent of the 1970s disco craze and for the later rise of hip-hop. LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT BEAT, Kurt B. Reighley's informative and thoughtful guide to the world of the DJ, spans the post-Second World War rise of Jamaican sound systems and hip-hop's early-'70s birth in Brooklyn at the hands of Kingston, Jamaica-born Clive Campbell, otherwise known as Kool Herc. Interviews with a large cross-section of the DJ community portray the history of DJing, with profiles of many of its legendary exponents, like hip-hop guru Afrika Bambaataa, the groundbreaking 1980s disco DJ Larry Levan, and British house and trance DJ Paul Oakenfold: the latter mastered his trade at Levan's New York club Paradise Garage and went on to influence a whole new generation of DJs. A valuable and insightful study, LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT BEAT reveals a community of musically and technically savvy artists working in a largely unexplored yet richly creative profession.

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION AS IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW DUE TO A FEW BAD EGGS I HAVE HAD TO KEEP ADDING TO SELLING INFORMATION!!!
I LOVE MY FELLOW EBAYERS I RESPECT YOU PLEASE RESPECT ME.

For all of my buy it now or best offer items I do consider your best offer and am glad to get them.

Please leave me five stars if there is an issue please let me know if there is an issue. Anything less than 5 stars messes up my seller cred more than you would think.

Do not bid if you have less than 10 feedbacks unless it is approved first. Also, please do not bid if you are a crazy person ;), are prone to buyers remorse, cannot pay within 3 days, suffer from personal issues or cannot read descriptions of items and conditions pertaining to the purchase of items ahead of time.  There are many new people to eBay that do not know how eBay works or how to work with people.  I have great feedback and am very easy to work with.  Please contact me if you have any issues I am very proud of my feedback and it upsets me when I receive negative feedback for something very small or ridiculous that can be worked out ahead of time. So please let me know if I can help you first!!!! Thanks!!!

I describe things as accurately as I can whatever I have has is in good condition. Please do not assume the item is in absolutely perfect condition I do not live in a vacuum. I would not sell it if something is wrong or broken or in bad shape with the item or I did not want it myself.  If you have any questions about gift worthiness or mint condition ask, send me an email and I will answer any questions.  I can send more detailed photographs. KEEP in mind that everything has been pre-owned unless stated as new with tags. If you have any questions, any at all please let me know as I do not do returns.  If you buy something and have a sudden attack of buyers remorse please do not make up a reason to send it back.  As I do not do returns. Once you buy it, consider it yours. Please email me any questions you may have AHEAD of time. I am pretty good at getting back to you A.S.A.P.  Unless it is the weekend I may be out of town Friday & Saturday.

Please check out my other auctions I have all kinds of great stuff listed rare and unusual items that have been boxed up and out of the light and pre-owned by an adult even the toys!!!
This is a non-smoking household I do have pets if you are allergic please take precautions or do not bid I am over canceling auctions due to people that back out after the auction ends because they did not read disclaimers. it is a waste of my time and yours  thank you!!!

Payment for item due 3 days of auctions end.  If you cannot pay within 3 days please contact me and let me know.  I reserve the right to re-list. which I hate to do. It is a waste of time for everyone!
I also do not ship overseas any longer due to lost and stolen packages do not bid on my items sorry.
I am not a large warehouse this is a one person operation doing this part time I generally only have one of the items listed I am mostly just trying to get rid of clutter because I am a recovering pack rat. I try very hard to make everyone happy if there is a certain way you want something shipped or what have you please contact me I am usually online at least once a day.
I ship 1 to 2 times a week due to busy schedule.  I need to make that perfectly clear!!! It is usually on Thursdays.  If you need it shipped by a particular date I will do my best to ship a.s.a.p. I am not psychic.  Just contact me and let me know AHEAD OF TIME communication is KEY!!!
 I do have a 4 day handling time listed on each auction. I try to get item out as soon a payment CLEARS , but like I stated before I do have a full schedule.
Once item is shipped it is no longer my responsibility!!! I cannot control what the postal service does with the package once it has left my hands, I have finished on my end.  once I mail your package, I have no control over how long it takes the post office to get it to you, or if they lose it or damage it. I save proof of shipping! I am not responsible by ebay or paypal if the postal system looses or damages your item, which does happen on occasion.   I have not had many issues but you never know.  Insurance is good and easily added if you are worried.
If you want to insure package before I ship we can work something out, just let me know in advance, it would not be a problem to add the insurance to your invoice.  AS it is impossible to add after the fact and the item has been shipped.
SHIPPING:
Shipping charges include handling, which includes shipping materials which are not free, time taken wrapping the item with care, my gas to the post office .  My postman does not do pick ups from where I live.  I also pretty much always ship with delivery confirmation with a tracking number that is available to you through your PAYPAL transaction, which is included in your shipping cost.
 I offer a shipping DISCOUNT.  Please contact me for shipping total for multiple auction purchases.
Please do not try to argue about or change the shipping cost after you have won my auction. You should not have bid on it in the first place. The price is SET.
Thank You for looking. Sorry to have to state everything ahead of time, I am very easy to work with and am not trying to be rude at all, but I like to have everyone know the terms ahead of time.   Thanks again!!!
