Hi Welcome to my auction of my own massive house music collection.
I have been into house music from the beginning and have been buying and collecting records since around 1990.  This collection has all been bought by me personally i have never been a big name DJ that has been on endless mailing lists and has had records given as promos for free.  So my collection isn't full of fillers that are unknown tracks from unknown artists. They are all known tunes. All these records have in there time been played out in clubs such as.  Shellys  quadrant park  Maximes Wigan pier (early 90's before it turned into that bouncy scouse house shite) The pleasure dome Life @ Bowlers Hard Times Back to Basics ARK Gallery Leeds warehouse Gate Crasher Hacienda etc etc etc all clubs which i frequented on a very regular basis. All my collection has been chosen by me as I've heard and loved every one of them played out in the clubs over the years. The Djs that have influenced my taste in music so you get a just of what there is in my collection were Sasha / Greame Park / Welly / Vertigo / Carl cox / Frankie knuckles / Todd Terry / Gary Norman / Rob Tissera / Pete Heller / Marshell Jefferson / Simon Scot / DJ Pierre / Jeremy healy / Mike E block
The collection is about 80% pre 1995 with around 2000 records been 1996 to around 2000 as I'm more into the pre 1995 stuff but collected the top tunes from 1996 onwards.
My collection is in very good overall condition ranging from VG to Mint unplayed records. All my records play fine some as you would expect have a scratch or two or surface marks from sliding in and out of there sleeves. But all are playable as I've been very careful with my collection over the 25 years its taken me to gather this lot together.
There are some very very rare records in this lot that have taken me years to source from all over the world some that are selling for well over £100 pound each
I have spent a fortune on this collection over the years i dread to think how much it has cost me but i expect its well over 50 grand. Im only selling as i think its now time to let my collection go as i have downsized my house and don't really have the space anymore plus at been over 40 its time to grow old gracefully and would like to put the money into my camper van project.
This collection has brought my hours and hours of pleasure and has given me countless memories of crazy nights and hazy days.
Below is a list of around 100 records i have pulled out at random so you get a flavour of whats in my collection.

So there you go you have a very small flavour of what my collection consists of it is a fantastic collection spanning the wonder years of early house music. Its a great collection for a house music fanatic like myself or if you buy to sell individually on sites like Discogs Hard to find records or Ebay you are going to make a fortune. Who ever buys this collection will be very happy and will get days if not months of pleasure going through them and finding those long lost hard to find gems. This is a once in a life time chance to get all these old school belters in one collection
The buyer is also welcome to take the Ikea storage shelves and record boxes for storage if you like. These records are collection only as you would imagine as far too heavy to post. you will need a decent size van to collect them in ( a long wheel base transit or something of the sort)
IF YOU WANT COME COME AND VIEW COLLECTION BEFORE END OF AUCTION MESSAGE ME AND WE'LL SORT SOMETHING OUT. IM IN SELBY NORTH YORKSHIRE.
My starting bid is the lowest i will take for my collection i know what its worth and won't be tempted by silly offers.  Sensible offers from serious buyers will be carefully considered. The starting price works out about 35p a record  All questions will be answered as soon as i can as i work shifts.
Thanks for taking the time to read my auction good look and happy bidding
