Up for auction is a huge 10 LP lot from the almighty LED ZEPPELIN! All vintage pressings!
I'm about to unload a bunch of great classic rock record lots...all of these have been cleaned, and all auctions will start at $1.99 for multiple record lots. 
Most of these auctions will be great starter lots, meaning nothing in primo condition - although a few will be - but mostly intended for people who are looking to build their collection at an affordable price. All of these are going to play fine, but please don't expect "TOP" copies - I wouldn't recommend these auctions to the serious collectors. But for everyone else - HELL YES! NO JUNK! Most of these were in my collection and I have upgraded over the years. Please make sure to carefully read the grading details below.
A note about my grading: I grade on a scale of 1-10. I rarely designate anything USED with a 9 (NrMINT) or a 5 (VG-)...which leaves 3 likely culprits - 8 (EX, awesome shape), 7 (VG+, average condition, plays fine), or 6 (VG, visibly used, nothing special, there will be some noticeable wear but should play fine). That should give you a good indication of what you are bidding on. As far as the jackets, I will do tape repairs to split seams as needed. Same with inner sleeves.
3 quick things:
1) I HAVE A LOT OF FUN DOING THIS! I WANT YOU TO HAVE FUN TOO! I'M EASY TO TALK TO - JUST LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. I'M HERE FOR THE PARTY!
2) I am very proud of my feedback, and it should tell you a lot about my history on eBay. I actually really truly care about making this a positive transaction for both of us.
3) All of my records are cleaned with the Spin Clean MK-II. It does a fantastic job. Remember - cleaning them doesn't remove the scratches of scuffs, but it does remove the grime and fingerprints and dust and bong resin and Cheetos flakes. I'll put it this way: if I were selling a used car, there's no way I would put it on the lot with a price tag on it if I haven't cleaned it first. And when I get a used record in the mail, it makes me so much happier when it's already cleaned and ready to go. It takes time and effort to do this but I want you to be happy. Plus, it's easier to grade and see how many marks are on the record after it gets a bath. Hip hip HOORAY! We win!

$4.00 will ship as many records as you win to ANYWHERE in the USA with a domestic shipping address via USPS Media Mail! Yes, that means if you win 20 records, I still ship for $4.00!

This is available to INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS, but it will be EXPENSIVE TO SHIP! PLEASE USE THE SHIPPING CALCULATOR BEFORE BIDDING! ALL PACKAGES OVER 4 LBS. (MORE THAN 4 RECORDS) ARE REQUIRED TO BE SENT VIA USPS PRIORITY MAIL.

Please read the entire auction description before bidding! 
*I do not accept returns unless there are extenuating circumstances beyond my control. 
*Please ask questions BEFORE you bid. 
*All records are CLEANED and VISUALLY GRADED - I do NOT play grade unless noted. Please refer to my grading scale below.
*Please save me as a seller! I am going to unload a TON of records over the next few months.

Overall, anything with a grade of 7/VG+ will show some surface wear and/or needle marks but nothing deep. Anything with that grade will still play fine in my book. Obviously if it's an 8/EX or 9/NrMINT it will be in fantastic condition. Please note the subjective nature of grading; your VG+ might be my VG or my VG+ might be someone else's EX - you just have to pay attention, read my grading scale, and most importantly - ASK QUESTIONS.

HERE'S HOW I GRADE:

10 – MINT (Sealed, perfect condition.)

9 – Nr MINT (Like new with only a hint of wear.)

8 – EX (Very few blemishes. Maybe a couple light scratches on the vinyl or a few light creases to the jacket. Serious collectors will be satisfied with this grade.)

7 – VG+ (Average, used condition. Most of my vinyl and jackets are in this condition. Vinyl will show playwear/scratches, but nothing deep and it will play through fine. You may encounter a "pop" or two or some light background noise.The jacket may have creasing, edgewear, ringwear, or corner dings but nothing significant.)

6 – VG (Vinyl/jacket may will show a fair to moderate amount of wear .Vinyl may show a number of scratches and you will likely experience some background noise during playback, but NO skips. The jacket may show a fair amount of wear in the form of creasing, edgewear, ringwear, writing, seam splits, etc.)

5 – VG- (Rarely will I sell anything of this grade unless it is a collector item with some value. Moderate to heavy wear on the vinyl and/or jacket.)

I WILL DETAIL ANY IMPERFECTIONS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY IN MY ITEM DESCRIPTION.
