INFORMATION ABOUT MYSELF: I’m an experienced 78rpm jazz collector based in Zurich, Switzerland. The records I am selling are no duplicates. Most of them are very clean copies because I usually don’t collect below E-.

Most of the records you can see here were used for my transfers on my YouTube channel Atticus Jazz. Of course, these transfers are remastered. However, they give you a pretty good idea about the records you are interested in.

I plan to sell more records in the upcoming weeks. So please come back!

SHIPPING & HANDLING: You can be sure that all your records will be sandwiched between cardboards and carefully and professionally packed in appropriate parcels with plenty of chips.

The shipping costs of 1-5 records are the same. For EU countries, I charge $24,00 for the US $33,00. Please wait with your payment until I send you an invoice!

If you buy more than 5 records, I will estimate the shipping costs and will refund if I overcharged you.

All records will be sent with the Swiss Post and have a tracking number, which I will provide with the eBay messenger. Please let me know if you wish registered & insured shipment.

If you have questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.

78 GRADING:  I use the universally recognized VJM (Vintage Jazz Mart) 78 rpm system in grading my 78s.  

E+

Highest grade used. A record that might have minor handling marks but has no visible signs of wear.  N, N- and E+ records will all be graded as E+.

E
Record has slight signs of handling and use but groove wear should be barely detectable and grooves should still be glossy and black. 

E-
Light groove wear with grey rubbing and light circular gray grooves starting to appear, but record should still retain glossy black grooves for almost all of the surface.

V+
Grey wear, handling and groove wear more apparent, but much of the groove area will still have black.

V
Record is approaching an overall grey surface with uniform wear, but will still play well even though the level of surface noise and distortion could be distracting.

V-
Record has wear throughout, and was subject to continual playing to wring more sound out of it, so even the grey is in a more advanced state of deterioration with groove walls disappearing.
