Count Your Lucky Stars

The eBay auctions are now up and listed!  Go bid on your favorite release or two!  

http://myworld.ebay.com/cylsrecords/

NOTE TO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS:  We messed up and didn’t list International Shipping rates, but you can still bid!  At the end of the auction, we will be asking you to cover the remaining shipping costs.  This will probably be $8-13 depending on where you live- we will take your address and handle it after the auction closes.  Sorry for the confusion.  If you have any questions, please ask.  Thanks!
