No returns on CDs.

Every effort is made to accurately and concisely specify and describe items being auctioned, as to their condition, age, and other characteristics. I try to be clear about the condition of items I sell. Please e-mail me with any concerns, questions, or issues that you might have before bidding on an item.

I am sorry, but I do not want CDs back and will not accept their return. If for some reason you are not satisfied, I will consider making an adjustment to assuage your concerns. Bidding on this auction and purchasing this item provides acknowledgement and acceptance of this policy.

My Rating Criteria:

Unless otherwise specified all CDs are from my private collection stored in a smoke-free environment. I have been collecting CDs from the beginning. I offer all kinds and genres of music. I offer some very special collectibles, as well as some fairly pedestrian items.

Ratings:

·        All primary ratings relate to the surface of the CD only.

·        Near Mint (Like New): CD is as close to “when new” condition with no visible flaws or defects.

·        Very Good: CD may have a couple superficial or minor surface marks that do not affect play.

·        Good: CD has some (subjective) superficial or minor surface marks that do not affect play.

·        Acceptable (Playable): CD has obvious minor or superficial surface marks that do not affect play – Just buy it for the music!

I am very conservative in my ratings – I simply do not want any problems with how I rate a CD. I guarantee that all CDs are playable and able to be copied.

I do not sell CD-Rs.

I do not rate cases. If the case is damaged, I will replace it before selling the item.

Unless specified as Brand New, all CDs being offered are used and as such show certain signs of wear due to age, storage, and handling. Some of the other identifiable issues that I may specify in the description:

·        Cardboard sleeve shows minor signs of wear from storage and handling.

·        Booklet shows minor signs of wear from storage and handling.

·        Booklet and inserts show minor yellowing from age.

·        The booklet has dents and wrinkles from storage and handling.

·        This is a cut-out with a hole punched through case and booklet.

·        This is a cut-out with a saw cut through case spine.

·        This is a cut-out with holes punched in UPC.

·        This is a discontinued item with a line through the UPC.

·        This is a xxx Club issue – club id.

Please contact me if you have any questions about my ratings.

Shipping Considerations [general guidelines]:

See below or visit USPS.com to help calculate a rough estimate of your shipping costs or contact me for a quote.

Here are my general guidelines on rates.

Shipping for multiple purchases:

§  I do not make any money off shipping and handling.

§  I will combine purchases – even those purchased over time, as long as they are shipped at the same time. Just request an invoice when you are done with your purchases.

§  It is important that you request an invoice for multiple purchase as eBay does not handle this situation very well and will overcharge for shipping of multiple items. I will refund any overages.

US:

§  I mail all single CDs in a padded envelop via USPS First Class with Delivery Confirmation. Cost is $3.00 for the first CD for shipping and handling.

§  My experience is that USPS Media Mail is slow, unreliable, and with delivery confirmation, costs about the same as or more than First Class – I’m not finding the meager savings worth the hassles.

§  First Class mail covers weights up to 13 oz. That is the equivalent of 2 or 3 single CDs – depends mostly on booklet weight. I can mail the extra 1 or 2 single CDs for an additional $1.00 each. For weights above 13 oz., I mail USPS Priority for $6.00, which provides for 4 to 5 single CDs. For more than 6 single CDs, please request a quote, but USPS Flat Rate box works well and the cost per single CD is fairly reasonable.

International (including Canada and Mexico):

§  I mail all single CDs via USPS First Class for between $3.00 and $7.00 USD – please use the calculator provided.

§  For International shipments, First Class covers up to 2 pounds.

§  I will ship anywhere in the world, as long as I have a confirmed postal address.

§  I have had some international customers who request that I send only the CDs and booklets [sans cases] to take advantage of the lower rates. So far, that has worked well. 

§  Concern: I have had many exasperating experiences with USPS First Class for international shipping. Also, I have had many dismal experiences with the customs’ processing of many countries. Both situations elongate delivery times and lead to much frustration.

§  International USPS First Class cannot be traced or insured.

Insurance:

Under no circumstances will I be financially responsible for lost or damage to an item during shipping if insurance is not purchased. Please request insurance if you are at all concerned, especially for more costly items. International First Class and Flat Rate Boxes cannot be insured. If you require insurance, I must send item at regular (higher) rates.

Please contact me with any issues, concerns, or thoughts before completing your purchase.

Feedback gladly provided for those that provide feedback for me.

Postage, Shipping, and Handling:

The United States Postal Service has recently simplified (?) their shipping charges. I’ll try to explain the current shipping charges. Here are some general guidelines:
