Christmas in August: A Collection of Holiday Music For Sale

[skyvue]

This is likely a long shot but...

I've got a bunch of Christmas records I'd like to sell together. There are more than eighty discs included, among them undeniable classics and tasty obscurities. Most are gently used. A few (those designated by an asterisk) are still shrink-wrapped.

They'll weigh in at somewhere around thirty pounds, packaged and ready to ship, and a quick peek at the USPS website suggests they'll cost around $15 if shipped at the media mail rate or $27 parcel post (sorry, US residents only on this offering). That seems a little low to me, frankly, but that's what the pricing calculator says for a hypothetical package shipped from NYC to Oklahoma City, so it's probably a decent ballpark estimate.

I'll price the collection at $40 (less than 50 cents per disc) and you'll pay the cost of shipping by the method you choose.

Here's a not terribly alphabetical list of the included discs:
