Item Description
SHIPPING IS NOT 4 FOR THE US Please see description below.
You are bidding on a very rare box-set from Michael Jackson.
To my knowledge it was issued in Sweden only through the relatively small M nadens bok Book of the month - a mailorder only company which usually only sold books - and was offered at a special price when you bought that months book.
It was never commercially available in regular stores.
The box contains three LPs see below and if the information I received is correct, the price was actually lower when you bought the box-set, compared to buying the albums individually.
The box also contains a type of booklet which is actually only a folded paper with text bragging in Swedish about how big Michael Jackson is, how many albums he s sold etc.The box itself and the paper/folder was most often thrown away and the LPs was all that survived.
To find a complete set like this is virtually impossible, even here in Sweden.
The included LPs are: THE JACKSONS - TriumphMICHAEL JACKSON - Off the wallMICHAEL JACKSON - Thriller All covers and vinyls are in EX condition Please note that the pressings of the LPs are the regular European pressings, as no Swedish pressings were made of the vinyls.
Only the box itself is made in Sweden.
The box is in ok shape, although three of the corners of the lid are taped and there is a ding to the right of the lid.
That s too bad, but still the box looks really great.
Please check out the pictures to make your own assessment.
If you have any questions, please don t hesitate ask, but keep in mind that I will not be able to answer any questions until June 7.
The box-set will be shipped from Sweden and unfortunately the Swedish post have some of the highest postage rates in the world.
The shipping will be 45 and that includes registered airmail and first class packaging.
Ebay s system sets a maximum cost for shipping at a desirable, but impossible, 4 rate.
I cannot even ship a 7 vinyl single inside Sweden for that cost, let alone a registered airmail 3 LP box to the US.
I will send the winner of this auction an invoice for the remaining 41 after the auction, if you cannot add correct shipping cost yourself when checking out.
The item will not be shipped until full payment has been made.
I m sorry having to rave about this, but unfortunately it s necessary a many don t care to read the shipping charges.On Jun-11-15 at 14:58:07 PDT, seller added the following information: EDIT ON THURSDAY, JUNE 11.
I will have very limited access to the internet Friday June 12 and most of Saturday June 13.
If you have any last minute questions I cannot promise I will be able to reply to them in time.
I m very sorry about this.Also, if you re the highest bidder after the auction and have questions, I will probably not be able to reply until Saturday evening.
However, the only question I can think of that will cause confusion is the one about the shipping, so let me try to explain how it works: FOR BIDDERS IN THE US.When a seller outside the US, like me, put a vinyl record up for auction on the US eBay ebay.com , the eBay system automatically set the shipping charge limit to 4 for US bidders.
As a seller, I cannot change this.
This means that when you, as a high bidder living in the US, make the payment, the shipping will be set at 4 and can t be changed by you.
As you will no doubt understand, it is impossible for me to ship a 3 LP box by registered airmail halfway around the world for 4.
Now, the actual shipping cost for me will be just over 53, but I only charge 45 as a flat rate for all bidders no matter where they live.When you, as a US-based bidder, will checkout after winning this auction, you will probably not be able to change the pre-added shipping cost at 4.
That means that the shipping cost will be 41 short and that is the invoice I m referring to in the description.
FOR BIDDERS OUTSIDE THE USThe extra invoice applies only when the shipping is stated at 4, and since the cost of shipping will probably already state 45 you will of course not get an extra invoice.
