Haha. I've shipped a lot of albums over the years and never had an issue shipping overseas. Sold an Original Mars Volta Deloused to a gentleman deep in Brazil. It made it just fine. But we're talking about a Benny that is worth a lot. Even in your own household, single items worth $1000+ typically need a separate insurance policy to be completely covered. A $2000 record isn't completely covered under, say a typical renter's insurance policy. So you expect a shipping company to completely cover a $2k record for just a few bucks? Not gonna happen.

Standard insurance up to $5k

That's for domestic shipping (shipping to an address inside the great land of the USA).

Global Express Guaranteed is a 1 to 3 day USPS shipping method and insurance is available up to $2499! Priority international doesn't specify what the limit is as it is apparently calculated based upon weight and the value of the contents. So I take back what I said. Someone will be crazy enough to pay $2k. They will probably be Canadian

Take their Canadian money and pay many student loan payments.

Also if shipping internationally, someone will be responsible for custom fees and taxes. That could add up with such an expensive item.

I don't buy that BS about keeping it in the US either. I recently received a shipment of vinyl totalling close to the value of a benny and had no issue (from the US to Toronto). It was shipped via USPS and it arrived in less than a week. If the box doesnt say "hey, there's a benny in here", it should arrive safely.

Lakey · May 2015

True it should arrive safely if it is shipped properly. I'm going to assume SadProfessor hasn't sold and shipped very many records. My recommendation was based on the ease of shipping USA only would be (yes Canada is almost as easy but there is more paper work etc) as compared to shipping internationally.

Since the Professor probably hasn't shipped too many albums I was also trying to emphasize the importance of making sure it is packaged extremely well with lots of protection/ cushioning. Don't skimp on the packing process. If that is done properly then you can ship it to the moon without worry.

Also, you might get a little less money if you sold it here on Ten Club, BUT a Ten Club member will probably be a bit easier to deal with than a random eBay customer. You'll also save by not having to pay eBay fees.

.....and plus the Ten Club member will hopefully spin the heck out of it. I bought Benny off of this board at a very fair price and it sounds so freaking good! My advice is to sell here - let a Ten Club member get the gift of Uncle Benny for a fair price and you get fair cash to pay off bills.

Lakey · May 2015

There is a way to send money through PayPal without occurring fees on either end. Somebody on here surely knows. Im not 100% on what you have to select in order to avoid it.

But if selling for profit alone, doing so here makes no real financial sense.,

You're talking about the "Friends and Family" option. If I were buying or selling a Benny, I wouldn't use that option. It offers no buyer protection. Not smart for such a big ticket item.

PP193448 · May 2015

If you want way more than 1 k for this then you'd better not post it here, and put it to eBay. If you want reasonable money $1200 or less and want to get it to a fellow ten club member post a price here. Just ignore some of the criticism you may get if your asking price is crazy.

andrew68 · May 2015

why 'maybe' ? if it's for sale then choose a price and list it....if not it just getting the hopes up for the rest of us beny seekers.
didn't your parents teach you teasing isn't nice

Amir1978 · May 2015

I have been reading about recent incidents where the buyer sent the payment as a "gift" and then later filed a false claim. The scammer/buyer kept winning these claims and now all these sellers are screwed because Paypal will not help them, most likely because Paypal frowns upon circumventing their payment scheme. Bottom line, don't use the gift option to sell things. It's not a good option for the buyer OR the seller.

Whats an extra 3% anyway right? I would gladly pay the extra money if it meant more security for my purchase
