GOOD LUCK BIDDING! ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** I am here to SELL. I hope you are here to BUY. 🙂 My aim is to keep my prices the LOWEST on eBay (and on Discogs) with reasonable and affordable shipping prices that include a tracking number. I take my time to make sure the item descriptions are as detailed as possible and this involves taking and listing quality photos of the actual items. I am not a bulk operation and I do care. 🙂 ^^^ATTENTION^^^ I am more than happy to combine shipping so you can save money on it. However… If you win one of my auctions or buy an item I have listed AND you plan on bidding on another one of my items later, please HOLD YOUR PAYMENT for the first item, do not pay for it so later I can send you a combined invoice for all items purchased with a new, reduced shipping charge. If you pay for the first item instantly after winning it, I will have to ship it right away, meaning I could no longer combine shipping upon winning another one of my auctions that ends days later. If your paid item is not sent out right away, eBay marks it as late shipment and this could have negative consequences when eBay evaluates my performance. All in all, if you plan on bidding on other items after winning an auction, DO NOT pay right away for the item you have just won. Hold your payment until all other auctions you are interested in end, and wait until I send you a combined invoice. Please let me know if you have any questions! I SHIP WITH A TRACKING NUMBER!!! ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Item : Various – Motown Sings Motown Treasures (2CD) Rare Motown treasures — bundled up in the kind of package that will completely recast your views on some of the label’s hits! The format here is really great — as the set features familiar Motown tunes, sung by artists who aren’t usually associated with the songs — making for a really unusual slant on the music! As the notes remind us, Motown was a label that was built on its songs as much as its singers — and on this set, you’ll get a great helping of the best of both — and sometimes, not just the better-known Motown acts of the time. 18 previously unreleased tracks, including “Forever” by Martha & The Vandellas, “Stop In The Name Of Love” by Kim Weston, “I Hear A Symphony” by Stevie Wonder, “My Girl” by Marvin Gaye, “The Way You Do The Things You Do” by The Underdogs, “What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted” by The Contours, “The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game” by Blinky, and “You’ve Really Got A Hold On Me” by The Jackson 5. Value : Out of print, the ONLY copy listed on eBay, no SEALED copies on offer on Discogs Condition : Factory SEALED ; no dings, no marks — FLAWLESS case; (It’s reported that some have the discs mismarked, disc 1 is 2 and visa versa.)

There is nothing I can do to prevent damage if an elephant happens to step on your parcel… 🙂 Discogs has this to say about those damn jewel cases: “Standard Jewel Cases are not graded as they are replaceable.” However, I will ALWAYS describe the condition of jewel cases. Communication : ***ATTENTION*** I aim to be an honest, professional seller of high integrity. Always reach out directly if you have any questions or concerns. Open communication solves every problem, every time. Collecting CDs is a joyous hobby. I am a collector with a beautiful, precious collection. My goal is to make purchasing a joyous experience. I will keep prices as low as possible. I take great pride in my customer service. I try to answer all questions within 24 hours of them being sent. Please send all questions directly through eBay for fastest service. Packaging : I am a collector myself so I know how important it is to pack items well to protect them. Professionally packaged, shipped quickly in standard cardboard box with proper padding for maximum protection.

A tracking number will be included. Shipping : -I will ship anywhere in the world (Worldwide) except Russia , Ukraine, Israel and Belarus . -To make it simple for both of us, I will use a flat rate letting you – meaning all buyers – pay the same price regardless of the destination. -I am more than happy to combine shipping. -For single CD set, first CD $10, each extra CD $3 . -For double CD set, the shipping is $13, each extra double CD set is $3 . -Please be patient.

About me : I am a Hungarian journalist, radio host currently “stuck” in Beijing, China where I have been living since 2006. I have been a member of eBay since 2004. I have not been selling CDs for years, but I am getting ready to move back to Budapest in the coming years so I need to downsize my collection consisting of 1000s of CDs. Music is my passion.
