IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ

 

   I’ve been collecting high-quality vinyl records and music memorabilia for more than 40 years. The majority of these comprise beautiful, treasured and professionally cared-for gems have always been stored in a humidity-controlled, tobacco-free environment.


   Approximately 10 years ago, I liquidated many valuable items from my private collection on eBay. There were Beatles autographs and rare original posters, along with some very collectible 45’s and LP’s. If you were fortunate enough to have acquired a few of those pieces at that time, then you’ve come to realize - at the very minimum - quadrupling-plus profits on your investments.

 

   I’ve now decided to sell the balance of my personal collection and will be disposing of the entire contents from my home and storage facilities. Most of the items will be in excellent to near-mint condition. Some will be absolutely perfect/pristine. Merchandise will be sold as I locate it. These will not be genre categorized or posted alphabetically as before, but sold as per discovered inside boxes and located on shelves. I have much to go through! The auction will last until every last piece is sold.


   ***PLEASE KEEP THE FOLLOWING IN MIND: There will be many, still originally sealed, and intact shrink-wrapped records offered here, along with super-rare, one-of-a-kind Autographed album sleeves. I consider many of these to be priceless, since several of the famous signers are no longer living. If you are interested at all, I’d suggest that you snatch these up ASAP.

***********************************************************************          

   ACTUAL CONDITION: I won’t clean the records. I’ll leave that up to you. Cleaning the vinyl makes it look better than it really happens to be. I never play-grade an item. The vinyls/jackets are only checked visually in a very bright light. I do my very best to describe the merchandise exactly as possible and ship as they are. I grade conservatively! If I've missed something or you disagree with my evaluation, please contact me A. S. A. P.

   I never use Stock Photos. I take the photos of the real item myself with my camera. Any bright spots on the pictures are from a flash. What you see is the actual item being sold.

***********************************************************************

   BIDDING: *No international/foreign buyers are allowed during this final liquidation. Furthermore, this will be a domestic-only sale (within the borders of these contiguous United States; None to Alaska or Hawaii).

   Please let me know if you will be bidding on multiple items to save on the combined shipping fee. If you have any questions or need more information on an item, please feel free to contact me. I will provided additional detailed digital images, if needed.

***********************************************************************

   PAYMENT: I only accept payment through PayPal and any transactions must be completed within five days. I pack the records very carefully to ensure safe arrival. I usually ship within one to three days of auction-ending date.

***********************************************************************

   NORMAL SHIPPING: I combine shipping on multiple items won. Postage will be shipped via Media Mail unless otherwise noted/requested. If you want a specific delivery type, please let me know.

Shipping cost for one, 7-inch record is $3.98, and each additional disc is $0.48. *All shipments guaranteed and include free Delivery Confirmation Tracking. Boxed sets and EP's will be weighed and quoted at auction ending.
