6 x piano box-sets complete myauction for Spring 2018 !

Regular classical collectors willrecognise my name as a consistent seller.

I only hold occasional auctions, butthis guarantees a diverse, thoughtful, rare and collectable collection, atprices that are significantly lower than the EBay ‘shops’ !

This particular collection is aimedat the serious collectors. Look out for a very large amount of violin & pianopieces, together with a selection of early stereo recordings, including a good numberof serious First Editions & TAS-listed items.

Additionally, there are a number of78rpm 10” & 12” - recordings by the likes of Kreisler, Neveu, Haendel, Elman& Heifetz.

All starting prices are exceptionallylow, designed to guarantee early bidding.

Please compare my starting prices to similar items onEbay – condition is the same - I am merely ensuring that my startingprices are the lowest

All postage are rates set at ‘cost’ ??

CONDITION GRADINGS

My descriptions are logical, simpleand straightforward, as outlined – below.                                                       If a record isvirtually flawless, it is near mint.If it has visible, but surface-only / inaudible blemishes, then it is excellent. Any item with moresubstantial marks and/or clear obvious disruption is Very Good+

Please rest-assured that allsignificantly visible marks are sound-checked and described accurately.

I try to keep my gradings as simpleas possible. Nothing will be ‘mint’ because all these recordings are pre-owned.No vinyl graded below Very Good+ will be listed.

POSTAGE

Standard rate of charge forindividual LP’s. Multiple purchases will be charged on the combined weight.

Sellers are encouraged to put acollection together, as combining purchases will save on the cost of postage.(The true savings start when your collection exceeds 2.0kg)

For example –

1 x single LP travelling ‘Royal MailAir Mail’ is around £8.50 (£8.50 / LP)

6 x LP’s on the same service arearound £18.75 (£3 / LP)

However, using an alternativeinternational courier –

30 x LP’s equate to around £40.00(£1.30 / LP)

In other words, the more items youpurchase, the far better the postage rates ?

Box-sets are listed with theirspecific, packaged weight, due to the variation in weights and the size ofaccompanying libretto ?
