I have reluctantly decided to dispose of my extensive vinyl collection owing to lack of space.  The records have been well looked after and in many cases have had only minimal play before being copied to cassettes for use while driving.  They have not been played for the last 30+ years as I switched to CDs at the earliest opportunity and they have been securely stored in a smoke-free environment ever since.  So please take a look at my other items, which are also priced realistically for quick sale.
See below for grading system.

PAYMENT AND POSTAGE

Payment by Paypal within 3 days of purchase please.  Returns accepted within 7 days if the item is not as described (UK only).   Photographs form part of the description. Items will normally be sent within 3 working days of receiving payment.  Items will be packed securely and with due regard to their fragility (records will be sent in custom-manufactured protective sleeves). 

There is no 'buy it now' price unless stated and I will not respond to enquiries of this nature.

I will also accept postal orders and cheques, but from UK buyers only.    Items will be despatched as soon as the cheque has cleared, but as there is no bank in the village where I live this may take a little time.

I always obtain proof of posting and in the event of non-delivery will be happy to assist you in any claim against Royal Mail for non-delivery.  

FEEDBACK

I leave feedback after I have received it. This assures me that my shipment has arrived at its destination, and that you are happy with your purchase. If for any reason you are not completely satisfied, please contact me before posting feedback, and I will do my utmost to resolve any problem.

Mint (M) – Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played and usually sealed.

Near Mint (NM) – The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.

Excellent (EXC) – Same but I’d tolerate very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.

Very Good Plus (VG+) – A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub, light inaudible marks, a little background crackle.

Very Good (VG) – It’s seen a bit of life, but is still usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly used.

Good (G) – To be honest you’re making trouble for yourself here, as Good means Bad. I’d only be selling something really desirable in this condition, with a bargain price and a full, no holds barred description to match.

Poor (P), Fair (F) Attempting to listen will be a disturbing experience. Expect major noise issues, skipping or repeating. The record itself is cracked, badly warped and has deep scratches. The cover is also approaching death!   I wouldn't be selling anything in these categories.
