I bought a huge collection of 45 rpm records from a guy who use to DJ weddings.  These have been sitting in his basement for 30-40 years.  I have separated them out into lots for individual artist. The rest I have separated out into larger mixed lots of Rock, R&B, Country, Pop, New Wave, Easy Listening and Classic, so check them out.  When I got these, they were covered in thick dust.  I have spent the last 6 weekends cleaning, play testing, recleaning, organizing, and listing all of them.  Because of the age, most have light surface scratches and scuffs.  I spent approx. 1 minute spot testing each record.  I played from the beginning to listen for surface noise up to where the chorus started.  I then jumped around to a couple of other spots to listen for any surface noise, skips or pops. I mainly concentrated on the main hit song on each record.  Unless the other side was a hit, I did not play that side.  In each listing I will describe what I heard.  I replaced any torn sleeves with new white generic sleeves.  Several have the original Picture Sleeve. Most are in G+ to VG+ condition. View the photos to make your own judgement on grade .  Many have the original Manufacture sleeve.  The sleeves in poor condition I tried to match up a sleeve with them from a record that I trashed. They were stored with boxes sitting on top of each other, so most sleeves have the top bent over with some small tears.  The Picture Sleeves that look good but had splits I taped to prevent further splitting.  Some sleeves and labels may have writing on them, stickers, or sticker residue.  I cannot guarantee there are no skips or pops on these since I did not play them all the way through, but if I have them listed, they sounded surprisingly good when I spot tested them.  I will try my best to give a good description of each lot I list.  They range from Good to EX.  Most will have very light surface noise on the lead, but sound great when playing.  I will list these as EX.  If there is light surface noise on the lead, intro, and softer passages I will list as VG. Any records with more noticeable surface noise I will make a note of as this is part of a larger lot. A few may be slightly warped as I will list but sounded fine. Some may have a tiny bit of white or yellow cloth on the edge from the record drying cloth I was using.  Some edges were a little sharper, not smooth. I will never purposely list any junk, so I do offer a free return on these lots (The buyer pays return shipping).  If you have any issues, please message me so we can work something out for at least a partial refund, discount on another item, or a return.  I take pride in having 100% feedback so I will work with you to make anything that I may have missed right.  Records will be shipped in a 45 mailer with 2 filler pads for protection using USPS Media Mail.  In most cases I ship the next day.  Any orders received after 10PM Sunday-Thursday will be packed up the next day when I get home from work.  Late night Friday-Sunday orders will ship out Monday morning.  If you are interested in multiple orders, please message me before buying.  I will ship them together to save you on shipping cost. 

Helpful hint I learned from another seller who collects and sells records.  45 rpm records are much thinner than LP’s so if you come across a skip try this. Lightly hold down on the needle and run the 45 back and forth over a scratch/scuff/dust particle a couple of times. Most of the time it cleans or smooths the groove out.  Obviously, a deep scratch this will not work on.  Let me repeat, lightly press down on the needle.  You do not want to damage your needle or the sound of the record.
