BLINK 182 Dude Ranch [UNPLAYED] Mightier Than Sword MTS - ORANGE/BROWN VINYL

NOTE:  See bottom of auction page for more pictures.  Pictures are of actual item up for auction.

AUCTION with NO RESERVE.

Bidders welcome regardless of # of feedback points.

International bidders welcome.

Auctions not ended early.

Condition of Item:

Record: UNPLAYED, assumed MINT

Cover: VG+ only because of corner dings (see pics below)

Additional Item Information:

LP and poster only taken out once to take the pictures included in this auction.

Part of the 1st Pressing of 2,000 produced by Mighter Than Sword Records (MTS) in 2009, which had the following color and quantity breakdown:

500 180g black

500 Clear Orange / Brown split

500 Clear Brown

500 Clear Orange

This copy up for auction is the SPLIT CLEAR ORANGE / BROWN vinyl.

Purchased by me directly from MTS, so I'm the original and sole owner.

LP only taken out once to take the pictures included in this auction.  And don't worry, the outer sleeve was only handled on the edges/spine, and the LP handled only along the very edges (but never pinching the edge like you see plenty of people do as that results in oils being deposited on the first few grooves) and the hole, just like I handle all of my vinyl.

I will include the resealable poly outer sleeve that I put over the LP when I received it, as it originally did not come shrinkwrapped or in a poly.  Will ship with LP outside of LP jacket but inside poly so as to minimize spine and edge damage in transport.

Kept in LP storage box since then, in a pet-free, smoke-free household, that is climate controlled.

Shipping Information

General

I ship using carboard mailers designed specifically for 12" records.  I also apply a "FRAGILE" sticker or two to help ensure it arrives safely.

Shipping costs are calculated based on weight of the item. However, I do add approximately less than one dollar per package to cover materials (per package, NOT per item won).

I package tightly so as to minimize movement while in transit.  I ship sealed LPs as is, unless you ask me to remove the LP/inner sleeve (so let me know!).  I ship opened/used LPs with the LP/inner sleeve removed but within an outer protective polysleeve.

Multiple Wins / Discounted Shipping

I will ship in 1 package all items won in a 2 week period so you can save on shipping costs. If you win more than one item, please wait for an invoice from me.

I do provide discounted shipping costs for multiple wins, because I ship based on weight.  Email if you are curious about the rate for 2 items for your country, and I will give you an estimate but you should wait for the final invoice once I package and weigh the actual items.

Domestic Bidders

Delivery Confirmation, now simply called "USPS Tracking", is included.

Shipping Methods

I provide shipping options for 1st Class, Priority and Priority Express via the US Postal Service.

Tracking 

USPS 1st Class Int'l rate now provides electronic delivery confirmation to the following 16 countries:

Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britian, Ireland, Israel, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland

If you live in another country, and you want the peace of mind of tracking then you have two options: 

1) Add "Registered Mail" but it carries an additional charge of $12.95 (direct USPS cost).

2) Upgrade to Express Mail however this rate costs about 3 times that of 1st Class. 

… so just let me know if you want either of these.

Delivery Time 

Per the www.usps.com website, here are the delivery times:

        1st Class: "Varies by destination" (in other words, no specific time is mentioned)

        Priority: 6-10 business days

        Priority Express: 3-5 business days
