Vinyl for sale (proceeds to charity)

jawhog

Have been planning on doing this for some time. Cleaning out the vinyl and just saving the stuff with sentimental value. A lot of the good ones I replaced on cd a long time ago. Some of the crappy stuff I picked up god knows where.

I'm not a vinyl rating expert by any means. Good condition means it looked shiny and scratch free, Pretty Good condition meant it looked entirely listenable and mostly nice condition, although there could be an abrasion or scratch or two. Ok condition means this seems listenable if you want to check it out, but expect it to be less than perfect. Giveaway condition means you wouldn't want to pay for it. I tried my best to be fair, if anyone is disappointed, remember proceeds are to charity and if anyone is REALLY disappointed I'll send your money back and you can keep the record.

Good Condition - $3 each
Pretty Good Condition - $2 each
Ok Condition - $1 each
Giveaway - I'll put any of these in your box for free if they fit.

I'll be mailing them in LP boxes that hold about 6 records via USPS media mail. Shipping for up to 6 records will be $5, if you want more than 6 I'll let you know the actual cost for shipping (I may have to buy a box, or simply send two packages).

ALL PROCEEDS will go to the Elmhurst Children's Assistance Foundation. A charity that provides financial assistance to families of children with life-threatening or disabling conditions. (I have no affililiation with ECAF other than that it is in the town I live in.) You can send two checks if you want to, one made out directly to ECAF and one to me for shipping.

ALL SOLD!

I take it you thought they were Firehouse albums AB..
too funny:D

Reminds me of that ditty... one of these things is not like the other... one of these things is totally differnt. Sing along if you know the words:)

audiobliss

Haha, yup...you got it!

I mean, I always get Firehouse and Lighthouse confused anyway...now there's a fIREHOSE, too?? Sheesh.

But now that I think about...records...by Firehouse? That doesn't seem too likely. Though I really don't know how old Firehouse is.

Oh, oh...and you can't forget Firefall. Oh my...I'm getting a headache, now...

MO went out in today's mail.

jawhog

As usual, this forum rocks, they're all sold!

Thanks guys, I don't have the exact total, but it's going to be over $100 for the charity.

That was a lot more rewarding than having some craigslister come over and take them all away for $20 or something.

Hope everyone enjoys them, I gotta go pack 'em all up now.

audiobliss

Thanks for the vinyl, and thanks for donating all the money to charity. The world needs more generous people!

jawhog

All packed up and ready to go and now the usps is closed today! Will go out tomorrow everyone.

pblanc - will make the drop at your family's place this evening.

How I missed this thread is beyond comprehension. Dagnabit!!! I like charitable causes, and I love vinyl.

GOOD ON YOU jawhog!!!:)

shoester5

Because of the holiday, I couldn't send till today but money order has been sent. Thanks so much!

audiobliss

Received the vinyl today; thanks!

A +1 is on its way to shack.

shoester5

Received the vinyl yesterday and all I have to say is; fantastic.

Thanks so much!

jawhog

I ended up sending shoe a few selections I had recommended to him. Make sure to check out the db's song amplifier. For a guitar guy it's just hilarious, but it might as well apply to the audiophile just as well. Glad you liked it.

bikerboy

Hi Jawhog,
Recieved the lps yesterday and got to listen to a few of them. For the most part they sound very good. Thanks for the good deal and the donation to the foundation.

jawhog

Due to these sales, I was able to drop off checks totaling $118 over the weekend. Thanks to everyone that bought some records and maybe took a chance or two for charity. This was great!

Great idea and I admire your generosity. I think it's great that a forum can get together and do things like this.

Take Care,
Shawn
