it's gonna be $30.00 plus shipping for regular ones and $40.00 plus shipping for copies signed by Uncle Larry with his magic silver marker.
Domestic or international shipping is all good...
the buyer just pays whatever the actual costs are, which is supposedly calculated by the magic computer at check out.
Please be patient at first with shipping, this stuff is all BRAND NEW for me and the sweet people that are helping me....all the shipping materials we needed to ship these records are supposed to be delivered on Monday and the first of the records should be shipped out on Tuesday.
Hope you guys truly enjoy the record.
