PLEASE NOTE THAT IN CASE OF ANY DISPUTES OVER GRADINGS I ALWAYS ACCEPT NO QUIBBLE REFUNDS UPON SAFE RETURN AND DEPENDING ON CIRCUMSTANCES USUALLY COVER THE RETURN POSTAGE TO SO IN CASE OF ANY PROBLEM CAN YOU PLEASE EMAIL ME FIRST BEFORE GOING THROUGH THE " ITEM NOT AS DESCRIBED " PROCEDURE. YOU WILL FIND THAT WITH ME THERE IS NOT LIKELY ANY NEED TO DO THAT AND EVERYTHING CAN BE RESOLVED BY A SIMPLE EMAIL EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM FIRST THANK YOU
ALSO DISCS ARE USUALLY GRADED ONLY VISUALLY DUE TO THE VARIANCES ON PLAYBACK BETWEEN SYSTEMS SO IF YOU ENCOUNTER A PROBLEM IN PLAYBACK PLEASE EMAIL ME FIRST UNLIKE THE RECENT LOVELY BUYER WHO JUST LEFT ME BACK FEEDBACK WITHOUT NOTICE NOT EVEN GIVING ME THE COMMON COURTESY OF TRYING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM ( DETAILS CAN BE ACCESSED BY CLICKING ON MY FB SCORE
DOMESTIC UK POSTAGE NOTE: FOR UK BIDDERS ALL ITEMS THAT SELL WILL NOW BE SENT VIA 2ND CLASS RECORDED/SIGNED FOR DELIVERYAS PER MY LISTING . AS THIS IS TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT
FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLS SEE MY FURTHER NOTES BELOW
NON UK BUYERS PLEASE NOTE ...MY RETURNS POLICY ONLY APPLICABLE TO UK..RETURNS OUTSIDE UK BUYER WILL HAVE TO COVER ALL POSTAGE COSTSFurthermore international bidders please also note that due to ebays new "buyer protection " policy many sellers now refuse to sell internationally anymore. I am not one of those sellers yer but please note I do now reserve the right to refuse to complete a sale to any international bidder that may have low or bad feedback or for any other reason and this is especially so if the item sells for over GBP 100, like I say this is purely a result of ebay/paypals new policy that make it now even harder for sellers to trade safely internationally. Please bare this in mind if you win an item but find that it has been offered first instead to a domestic UK Bidder.
FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT... I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you.
ALL MY RECORDS ARE USUALLY SOLD ON VISUAL GRADINGS ONLY, THEREFORE, WITH THE SINGULAR EXCEPT ION OF THOSE RARE OCCASSIONS WHERE I DO STATE THEY HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED, AS ALL DISCS ARE 2ND HAND ANY PLAYING DEFECTS ARE THEREFORE CAVIAT EMPTOR AND SO NON REFUNDABLE. I ONLY REFUND WHERE AN ACTUAL GRADING OF MINE IS DISPUTED
(Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )
Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (PIGGIESSS - I AM HAPPY TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.
THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..
DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO BE READ,
