Hello and Welcome to my latest auction.I am auctioning off some Rare Items from my personal collection.I really hate to part with these but I need the money so now is the time to pass them on to a good home
Taste-Self Titled(1969 UK Polydor 1st pressing laminated cover)
The Debut album that introduced the late great Rory Gallagher to the world.Awesome debut,Killer power trio bluesrock bar none.I also have their 2nd LP "On The Boards "up for auction
CONDITION OF COVER:VERY GOOD PLUS(The only thing that keeps this from being graded any higher is there are a few light creases along the spine and there is a lamination ripple at the top right by the opening of the sleeve caused by the manufacturer of the sleeve rather than the previous owners carelessness.Also the bottom seam has become unglued but is not torn or split and can be easily be repaired.Despite these flaws this is a VERY CLEAN cover and a lot of other dealers would grade it higher
CONDITION OF VINYL:MINT MINUS(Possibly Unplayed)When I bought this the previous owner told me he had bought it from someone who told him it was unplayed. While I can't verify this,It definitely is a strong Mint that at most has ghas one or two careful plays.A stunning copy and definitley a keeper
All Records are Strictly graded and are guarenteed to your satisfaction.Any Problems,we can work it out.Any Questions,feel free to ask.
ALL PRICES ARE NOW IN CANADIAN FUNDS AS PER EBAYS NEW POLICY
THE SOAP BOX(YES,I'M AFRAID SO):
BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER,PLEASE READ THIS FIRST: In the past,I have had a number of problems with Bidders/Buyers that have gotten increasingly annoying and feel the need to express them here:
(1).POSTAGE RATES:Now that Ebay have introduced a new rule that you have to list postage rates for The US,UK and Austrailia,There should be no more confusion as to what the postage cost are to your country unlike previously as I was only allowed to post one fixed rate worldwide and it caused problems.In any case they are all listed in my description so you can refer to that as well
(2).I now no longer offer Surface Post as I have had too many problems over the past few years.I apologise to my customers who have used Surface post in the past and have had or have given me no problems over the last few years but unfortunatley,its the very many that ruin it for the very few
(3).I will no longer relist items that have not sold the first time as this has become too costly.The only exception will be if a bidder fails to complete his transaction,otherwise from here on in items get listed once only
(4).I Do not end auctions early so please dont ask.I dont condone this practice and I think that it is unfair to other people who have place bids on an item they are anxious to own and feel one bidder should have as much chance as the next when bidding on my items
(5).POSTAGE RATES OVERSEAS:Several people overseas have complained about the price of my Air Postage thinking that it is too high.Yes.I know it is expensive but this is what it cost me to ship from my part of Canada to your part of the world as the rates vary across the country depending on which part of Canada you are sending from.Even within Canada the Rates Vary when shipping from one part of Canada to another so this is why the prices are what they are.I make no money from this and quite often,I have lost money on postage so please take note of this
(6)NON PAYING BIDDERS:Due to the recent volume of late payers,PAYMENT IS NOW DUE IN 10 DAYS.You must contact me within 3 days of the closing of the auction.If I dont hear from you within 3 days ,I will send you a reminder and if you dont reply within a week then I will take the necessary action to resolve this matter.Sorry if this sounds harsh but enough is enough
Once again,I apologise for dragging you through all this but something had to be said
POSTAGE RATES:
Please note that Ebay now requires that all Canadian sellers charge in Canadian funds so all postage cost is in Canadian.I no longer ship Surface Post on account of too many problems in the past
