Secondhand Record For Sale





  • Item: 7" inch record, The Unexpected --Big Fat Ugly Bitch. Label: Cuccinello Music. Format: Vinyl, 7". Country: US. Genre: Rock. Style: Punk. Excerpts from the net: “The Unexpected put out their 6-song 7" in 1984, and other than a review by Jeff Bale in Maximum Rock'n'Roll #14 ("Amateurish thrash and punk straight from a garage somewhere in the the "garden" state . These teens have spunk and a good, albeit dumb, sense of humor…”), no one seems to have noticed. Also it seems no one ordered the record, as it never turns up. They were from the Jersey Shore -- Toms River to be exact -- about 30 miles south of the Mutha shore-core scene, which was centered around Long Branch. Jeff Bale and Tim Yo's copies of the record have an almost-sleeve, which is really more of an insert. My own copy and the very few others I know of are all sleeveless.”. Record will be carefully/responsibly packed. Please see my listings for other desirable titles!


  • Returns: If an item is deemed “not as described” due to such circumstances as shipping damage or seller’s incorrect description of the item’s condition, it falls under the realm of the eBay Money Back Guarantee. The reason why I don’t have a return policy in addition to the eBay Money Back Guarantee is that return policies cover all other reasons for return (such as the buyer simply changing their mind) but they also require the seller to pay for shipping, which is an expense that I cannot afford, especially in the case of an international transaction.


  • International Shipping: I sympathize with int’l buyers regarding shipping charges and their country’s Customs fees, but because the value must be declared in order to insure the item for that amount, I’m unable to satisfy the expectations of most buyers in certain countries. If you’re an exception, all you need to do is let me know and hopefully we can work together!


  • Condition: Records may not function as intended per surface noise, defective playback due to manufacturing defect or scratches, etc. and any extant sleeves/covers often have damage such as flawed edges and odors which may require repair or treatment, so I’m selling the item as being in “For parts or not working” condition. Most records are in scratched condition. See Goldmine Record Album Price Guide, 5th Edition, page 17: “It’s estimated that no more than 2 to 4 percent of all records remaining from the 1950’s and 1960s are truly Near Mint” (and the next grade down from Near Mint is VG+, where light scratches are present). It amazes me that the world of record collecting doesn’t have an official grading company such as in the comic book field (they have CGC), the coin collecting realm (they have PCGS), etc. Until an official 3rd party industry expert comes along, record grading remains subjective and opinions vary due to parties’ differences in audio equipment, etc.
