 I have recently inherited a huge collection of Vinyl lps and singles to add to my own very large collection.
Over the next few months I will try to sort out and auction all my duplicates and unwanted ones   Most are in good to excellent condition.
I am no expert, but will try to list to the best of my ability, please take care to note description and images before bidding.
I will always be happy to combine postage if this works out cheaper for you, so please take time to look at my other items. 
If you win more than 1 item please do not pay until I invoice you with combined postage.
I will try to send out an invoice within 24 hrs of the auction finishing and to mail out goods within 48hrs of payment being received.
I always obtain proof of postage.
I only accept payment by Paypal or Cash on collection.

Any other questions, please do not hesitate in contacting me and happy bidding.
RECORD GRADING
I will try to grade as accurately and conservatively as possible. I will grade the condition of all my vinyl by the well-established Record Collector Grading System. If you are not 100% happy with your order please don't hesitate to get in touch, I'm a reasonable guy. Listed below is my grading criteria  
(please note unfortunately I have just bust my quality deck, and don't trust my cheapo deck to give an accurate Audio Grading. So therefore for the moment all Grading is Visual, please ignore any reference to Sound Quality.  If you would like me to play any Vinyl on my cheapo deck and report back to you please let me know)

M = Mint: Never been played or item still sealed. Cover and any extra items such as lyric sheet, booklet or poster (ie contents) are in perfect condition. 
NrM = Near Mint: In brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. Cover and contents nearly perfect. 
EX = Excellent: Shows some signs of being played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. Cover and contents might have slight wear and/or creasing. 
VG+ = Better than Very Good: Obviously been played but no significant deterioration in sound quality despite light surface marks. Very little wear and tear on cover and contents, without any major defects. 
VG = Very Good: Obviously been played many times but no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on cover or contents, without any major defects. 
G+ = Better than Good: Sound quality has deteriorated but with no distortion. Light scratches and occasional mild scratch. Cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges but not spine splits or discoloration. 
G = Good: Sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion. Mild scratches. Cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc. 
Fair = Still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise - it may even jump. Cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. 
Poor = Will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise etc. Cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
