Postage INSIDE Australia tracked and FREE
INTERNATIONAL Postage quoted as TRACKED Air mail, and UP TO 1.5KG so I have plenty of protective packaging around this, normally it would go as under 500gm, but I am sure the new owner will appreciate the extra protection I will build into the packaging.
Selling at auction on ebay as my usual marketplace did not have this EXACT release in the database, I have created the database stocklisting over there using this item and some of these photo s for future reference over there , but without a prior value determined in that marketplace, It s here for Auction with a reasonable starting price.
Here is the condition info again, slightly expanded from the 1000 character limit as input separately.

were lighter Blue see photo s 6 7
Cover dated Mar 1959, and the last month of Blue Back production for this issue, is Front AND rear Laminated with Scallop flip backs, with very little rubbing, No ring wear to speak of see photo s 8 9 REAR card is slightly yellowed, despite being laminated.
Very small spine rub Not split see photo 10, my finger pointing at the rub. I repeat, not split, looking from the inside, no light comes through, so not split
Other than a few edge flex creases, no other edge wear that is obvious or detrimental to my stated VG overall.
laminate has started to lift around spine edges, but not torn Worst is on front see photo 12
Very slight spine corner rounding , no corner bends. About 3 small thumb bends near front opening edge.
As per my Condition report as above and separately stated. this SXL 2020 is in nice overall VG condition and was owned by an international Classical Piano Accompanist that ultimately retired to Australia, i acquired most of the deceased estate collection, most of the others will be listed on my preferred marketplace under the correct stock release variation, simply because the commission is less, and I don t have to pay Fees on international clients GST / VAT/ Import taxes as charged by THIS marketplace. Not good for me if something sells for hundreds of dollars into a country ebay charges their added final value fee on upto 22 VAT or other countries rates................
My way of protesting for the last several years on the money grab going on here Commission on your import fees/taxes paid by me ??? Not if I don t have to, by listing them elsewhere.
BTW I used to be a full time classical music seller here all the way back in the mid 2000 s, but left to be full time somewhere else when the excessive money grab and hidden search engine items that I had paid for optional high visibility, kept accidentally missing from search engines.. This is the first record I have sold over here for a decade, ebay is just my garage sale site now for targeting sales within Australia, All that commission ebay could have got if they didn t charge more than other sites I moved to, where I am far happier with turnover and visibility.
