A Description of This Listing:

You will receive the actual item(s) pictured above, and I will describe this listing to the best of my ability with the included photos and following description.  It is sold AS IS w/ NO RETURNS unless an obvious omission or mistake occurs.  It is true that Grading is somewhat subjective, and although I am not a certified or professional grader by any means, I am experienced and will include an estimated/ballpark condition or grade range for your general reference.  I do not describe anything as higher than (Like New) or (VF+/NM-)... even if conditions sometimes warrant it.  The final/actual grading I leave mostly to you..

• This is a Lot of (4) 33 RPM Vinyl Records from CASABLANCA- KISS: KISS-Alive II (1977); Double Platinum (1978 Promotional Copy); Rock and Roll Over (1976); Destroyer (1976);
• See pics to estimate/verify your own specific grading, but overall all of my records are used and range from GD+/VG- to EX+ condition.  Assume at least some light wear & some have minimal/light scuffing/scratching normal for such vintage vinyl- but they should not skip under normal play conditions; As the quality of the player and needle also play a role, I cannot guarantee records; Specifics are listed below:
• "KISS-Alive II"- Has its Rock Steady "Evolution of Kiss" Book in Very Nice Condition w/ light wear; the Records have very light/minimal wear/scratching; the Cardboard Book Jacket has nice gloss and look, but some surface wear & moderate edge/corner wear; The Kiss Army Sleeves are pretty nice in surface- w/some light edge splitting starting;
• "Double Platinum"- the Records have some light wear/scuffing/scratching; the Cardboard Book Jacket has some gloss but also surface wear/creasing; & the Sleeves are in tact w/ some wear;
• "Rock and Roll Over"- the Record has a scratch or two, but is otherwise nice, the Cardboard Jacket is in tact w/ nice color and gloss, but moderate edge wear/creases; & the Sleeve is mostly separated; 
• "Destroyer" is fairly worn with scratches and has NO Cardboard Jacket;
• Please contact me with any questions before buying.
• Each record will be packaged CAREFULLY in sandwiched cardboard, and shipped via MEDIA MAIL. 

Thank you very much for looking!  My apologies, but I do not currently ship to, or accept bids from, any eBay members under 18 years old, or outside of the Continental U.S.

Payment & Shipping-  YES, I Will Combine Shipping AND Package it CAREFULLY!

You Can SAVE $$... But you MUST Request/Wait for the Invoice BEFORE paying to be eligible for reduced postage.  As described below, once you pay, I WILL NOT adjust the price!

Payment for a single purchase is expected within 48 hours, but I also encourage combined shipping where appropriate to help us both out.  Just drop me a quick note if you are still shopping or waiting for an auction to end, and you can have up to seven days to combine shipping and pay. If you are interested in combined shipping on multiple Auctions/Best Offers/Buy-it-Nows, be sure to follow the standard eBay procedure:

   1) Place the desired items in your cart;

   2) WAIT before you pay (but drop me a note if it will be more than a couple of days/are waiting for an auction to end);

   3) Click on the REQUEST AN INVOICE button at the top of the cart when ready to commit to your purchase;

   4) I will issue you an INVOICE with the new total- please pay promptly;

As your payment is confirmation for me to package and ship your item(s), AND I still pay fees on the original paid shipping costs that aren't returned to me,  I will NOT issue a combined shipping refund AFTER PAYMENT unless previous arrangements have already been made.  

IMPORTANT NOTE: I have a full time restrictive job with the sort of hours that means I can only ship about three/four times a week (generally on Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat).

Shipping & Handling Rates:

Unfortunately, shipping rates continue to climb, as does the cost of handling for those of us who package it CAREFULLY (about $1 per order).  I will continue to make adjustments to find the fairest reliable service and rates for both of us.

• My first choice is to use USPS First Class for a small item/box/lot envelope or package (up to 13 oz), at $3.95/ $4.45/ $4.95/ $5.45/ $5.95 depending on the weight and handling needs;

• I sometimes use slower/cheaper library/media mail rates for Books, CDs, and DVDs ONLY (when/where appropriate), and charge $3.95 for up to 13 oz, and then $.50 for each additional pound classification.  Shipping other items such as comics and magazines via Media Mail is technically a form of Mail Fraud, so I choose not to do it.

• For most combined lots/boxes, multiple lots, and other larger/heavier/awkward items, I generally use USPS priority shipping. My flat rates include $7.95 for USPS Priority Envelopes and Small Boxes; $9.95 for my own combined lots in a Small-Medium 12” Box, and $14.95 for the USPS Priority Flat Rate Medium Box when circumstances dictate this choice.  In the rare case of shipping anything larger, I will have to look into calculating shipping options based on zones/weight/size- but those rates generally start at $19.95;  

Philosophy of Sales and Communication:

** I am an active E-bay consumer who expects reasonably fair treatment as a purchaser, and believes in the well-established E-bay protocols.  Thus, it follows that as a seller my goal is to provide a five-star transaction experience for both of us, where we can both feel highly satisfied with the purchase.  I will do my best to reasonably represent the materials as they are, package them with great care, and ship them as promptly as I can.

**Please contact me before purchasing if you have any questions about an item, and if you receive anything that generates a concern- please contact me first and I will work with you as reasonably appropriate.  I will nearly always respond within 24 hours, but as I have a restrictive job, I am generally only active between 4pm and 9pm EST Mon-Fri, and as much as I can on the weekends.  Thanks for your patience in advance.

Mostly From Own My Personal Collection:

I am a Gen-Xer whose primary collecting passions have been AD&D, Comic Books, and Sports Cards.  I have also acquired a lot of books, magazines, music, DVDs, toys, video games, tools, and sports items over the years.  I will steadily work my way through much of these treasured and well cared for items- so stay posted.  Although some of what I post will certainly be low-grade used/worn/loved (good/very-good), as I get going a good portion will be in the mid (fine) to upper (very fine/near mint) highly cared-for grades.  I have a smoke and pet free home, and most of these items fit this bill as well.
