The Coasters, Down in Mexico / Turtle Dovin’, Atco Records, 45, Leiber & Stoller

$

41

You are bidding on The Coasters’ “Down in Mexico”, b/w “Turtle Dovin”, from 1956, on 45 rpm vinyl from Atco Records (45-6064).

#8 R&B; classic Leiber & Stoller!

The vinyl shows only light handling and plays fine.  The surfaces have collected some dust over the years, which creates just a bit of surface noise, but a good wiping should make them near perfect.

The sleeve is the original.

Please excuse me if I don’t try to grade anything; I’m not a collector or a dealer.  I’m just a life-long “pack rat” who has saved everything he's ever owned; it’s time to clear some space.  Please ask questions, if you have any, before bidding.  If you'd like more specific information, please let me know and I'll try to help in any way I can.

I ship all records by USPS, either at Media Rate or at First Class Package or Parcel rate, whichever is cheapest, unless otherwise requested.  Priority shipping, insurance and other shipping options are available so contact me if interested.

Buyer will pay S&H which includes a “Delivery Confirmation” tracking number.  If insurance is requested (highly recommended in case of damage or loss in transit), it will be added to your S&H charge.

International Buyers:  The Customs Declaration for your item will be for the amount of your winning bid.  Also note that the listed S&H charge does not include any customs, import duty, tariff or tax fees; these charges, if any, are the buyers responsibility.  If you are charged extra by your delivery service when you pick your item up – do not confuse that extra charge for additional shipping that was charged by me.  Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what any additional costs may be prior to bidding.

All Buyers:  Payment is requested within 7 days of the end of your winning auction.  After 7 days, if not yet paid, you will receive a second invoice, a friendly reminder, marked “SECOND NOTICE”.  If payment is still not received after another 7 days, a less friendly eBay Resolution case will be opened.  If you have extenuating circumstances, please let me know; I’m easy.

Payments made over a weekend usually result in immediate shipping, either Monday or Tuesday morning.  For all other payments, expect 3-5 work day shipping.

Payment is by PayPal only please!

SAVE ON COMBINED SHIPPING!  If there is even the slightest chance you might be interested in this item, be sure to visit other items I currently have up for auction.  I try to price everything pretty low in the hopes that buyers will be encouraged to buy more than one item and benefit from combined shipping savings.  Win any other of my concurrent auctions and we can ship multiple items in a single shipment at a single postal rate and with a nominal S&H fee, much reduced.  (Each additional item increases the total shipping cost by only relatively small amounts while reducing the “per item” cost significantly.)  The more you win, the cheaper it is per item to ship.  Contact me to arrange before you make your payment.

A Note About Returns:  Unfortunately, mistakes happen.  I am happy to accept returns and refund payments but, for everyone's protection and for the integrity of the system, there have to be rules.  The buyer must return the item within 7 days of receipt at his or her expense.  Upon arrival, I will verify that (1) it is in fact the same item that was sold and (2) it is in the same condition as it was when it was sent (I keep detailed photos and descriptions).  If damage is claimed, I will also need the original packaging.  Assuming this all passes the "smell" test, a refund will be issued through PayPal.  If it doesn't, we'll have to negotiate.  Also note that if you claim the item never arrived but there is proof that it was shipped and scanned into the USPS (or other service) system, I’m sorry but your beef is with the delivery service, not me.  I will assist you in finding the item in any way I can.  The best solution, of course, is to ask for insurance before it is shipped so we can all breathe easier.  Just let me know at time of payment.

Please note that my Positive Feedback Rating is 100% and I intend to do everything I can to keep it that way.  That means I want to be a conscientious seller and for you to be a happy buyer.  Please contact me if you have any questions about the item, the shipping or other concerns and I'll try to help in any way I can.

Thanks for looking.
