Is this Item a Fake or Counterfeit?
You are bidding on a vintage Reel to Reel tape manufactured by Mercury. This tape recording is by Sarah Vaughan and is titled "Great Shows from Hit Shows". Found at an estate (in the Living Room of the estate), this reel tape is identified as MDS2-1 and comes in stereo. It is untested (I don't own a Reel to Reel) but the tape seems to be wound properly and it comes from a non-smoking home. There is a piece missing from the cover of the box on the front (above her head) but otherwise looks to be in good condition. The first foot of the tape looks wavy (as it sits) likely from not being played and sitting dormant for a couple of decades. Certainly hard to find. Be sure to look at my other Reel tapes and save on shipping if you purchase more than one.
I use the US Postal Service and use priority mail to ensure quick delivery although size/weight can often be a deterrent due to a balloon fee on boxes over a certain size. Shipping costs are based on weight and distance from my home in Fairhaven, MA. In simplest terms, I ship priority mail unless it is a book (then I ship using media mail) or if the item is bigger than a breadbox or heavier than 5 lbs (unless I can fit it in a flat rate box).
I've been selling on Ebay since 1998 but this is not a full time job. I'm happy to answer all questions but please be aware that these questions are normally answered after I have returned home from work. International shipping has increased considerably so if shipping costs are a concern, please contact me and I will provide a quote. I do not end auctions early so no questions are necessary. I encourage you to look at my other auctions for a wide variety of items. I often sell glass, pottery, books, art, and other unsual items one may find at yard sales and estate sales. Best of luck in your bidding and thanks for your time looking at my auction.
