*****HELP A COUPLE IN LOVE*****

If you're here, then you probably know what this item is, or you're thinking "What the heck is this dude on about?", or you're thinking "Man, this looks cool," or maybe "Man, I'm pretty hungry why am I looking at eBay auctions I should be eating lunch," or... actually you could be thinking anything so I'll stop trying to guess.

Just for clarification, this is NOT SEALED, but it is in EXCELLENT CONDITION. I've included pictures for you to see for yourself before you buy. I was the one who opened it. The sticker is still intact (as can be seen by the pictures), and I opened it the only way that someone should open a White Box - along the masking-type tape with a very sharp knife (the way not to open it is through the middle of the box with a very sharp knife, unless you hate cool things and want to destroy them but why would you???????).

I got this several months ago through eBay, sealed, and fully intended on keeping it forever - hence opening it - and not hording it for money later on. I'll probably effectively be losing money on this auction, so why on earth would a smart and handsome man such as myself do a stupid thing like sell a freakin' cool as heck sunn O))) White Box???? I'll tell you why...

<3 LOVE <3
Yes, love. I met the girl of my dreams in Los Angeles, the City of Angles (seriously everything was really pointy there), home of Stephen O'Malley (perhaps with his Grimm Cvrse laid upon the streets), and I'm moving to LA as soon as possible and we're moving in together and getting MARRIED next year. Being madly in love makes you a Crazy Carl I've found, hence this opportunity for you! The big hurdle at the moment is money, so I'm doing everything possible to get there as quickly as possible and that includes selling my rekkids (that's just a weird, phonetic spelling of the way that some people pronounce records by the way).

So yes, BUY THIS AND SUPPORT LOVE PLEASE! I'll be happy to tell people more if they wish, but BUY THIS AND SUPPORT LOVE PLEASE!!!!!!

OK, for those who want to know more, here are the actual contents of the White Box

  1. A white box (hmm)
  2. A cool/radical/"awesome" sticker on the back/top holding it together with the sunn logo and a track listing
  3. A hand-developed, hand-signed, numbered (197/500) photo of two dudes lookin' creepy/praying or something, in robes in the woods - reported to be Stephen O'Malley (SOMA) and Greg Anderson (GROMA) (OK I made that one up)
  4. The WHITE1 album - two (2) WHITE vinyl 12" records, with "My Wall (Vinyl Edit)", "The Gates Of Ballard", "A Shaving Of The Horn That Speared You", and a White Box exclusive track (yes, completely exclusive to just this album, not on the other WHITE1 vinyl) "CUT WOODeD". This song alone definitely makes you not care that you just blew a paycheck on music, I kid you not. Ulver is involved. It is cool.
  5. The WHITE2 album - 2 (two) vinyl 12" albums, but this time the first is white, and the second is a picture disc, one side being a hooded dude in an ice cave (possibly looking for ice, maybe he is in a motel room and needs ice??? Maybe he is just hot from the robe?), and the other being a dude in a robe and maybe he's a robot or an alien or something argh it's too scary to think about! The tracks are "HELL-O))-WEEN", "bassAliens", "DECAY2 [NIHIL'S MAW]" (my personal favourite sunn song), and the vinyl-exclusive "DECAY [THE SYMPTONS OF KALI YUGA]". This track acts as a prequel of sorts to DECAY2 and includes the same chanting that will make your neighbours think that you're either invoking demons or watching Buffy The Vampie Slayer DVDs too loud! It's cool too!
  6. White covers with pictures and track listings housing each individual vinyl
  7. A cool little "WHITE" sticker with the sunn logo on it, showing SOMA and GROMA (this is what he is known as forever) doin' their thang on stage somewhere in robes (are they taking a shower soon? Reading a paper? Who knows...)
  8. A protective plastic outer sleeve to encase this Slab-O-Cool that will make your friends want to punch you or kick you maybe, unless they're cool with it

They only made 450 copies of this version of the White Box, with 50 being sold as a tour-only item with a different photo and extra things that people will probably sell their children for. This was sold through Southern Lord mail order only originally, but this is all just backstory for my clarifying why I said 450 copies - you'll see people say that there are 500 copies, but there are only 450 of THIS version.

OK, that's what you're getting and that is all from memory because I love it so much! Now to the nitty gritty of the auction.

I'll accept PayPal as payment for this item, and bank transfers and other such methods are OK if you're paranoid about computers, but only if you know what you're doing and can tell me what you're doing. If you're in Australia, I can accept direct deposits into my bank account IN AUD for the same USD amount that you win the auction for. This being said, PayPal would be the preferred payment method please.

I'll ship anywhere in the world, and I'll only charge you the exact cost of postage and nothing more. Airmail postage to the US is $24 USD, but I can ship it any method requested to any destination. I'd suggest insuring the item just in case, but it is entirely up to the buyer. I'll ship it out as soon as I receive payment! Payment must be made within 7 days, and people with zero feedback or a lot of negative feedback should e-mail me before they bid. Non-paying winners will be reported (I'm not trying to be a jerk, but if you're one then you'd leave me no choice!)

Well, now it's up to you to! Good luck, and help out a guy who's hopelessly in love with the only girl for him, while at the same time getting this cool item. Or just enjoy the item if you're really bitter and/or cynical about it but please don't be we're really nice people!!!!!!

P.S. The auction is just for the White Box, not us nor our love. It is not tangible therefore I cannot sell it (plus we wouldn't anyway OK)
