Regular classical collectors will recognise my name as a consistent and reliable seller.  These days, as a collector, I have an annual “spring clean” of surplus vinyl. The proceeds go towards my  own collection.  I now only hold one annual auction, but this guarantees a diverse, thoughtful, rare and collectable  collection, with the lowest starting prices on EBay and no reserve. 
This particular collection is aimed at serious collectors and dealers and amounts to my releasing a  number of valuable recordings from my own, personal collection. 
Look out for a large amount of violin including Kreisler (Limited Edition 78 set “The Beethoven Violin  Sonata Society Vol. 1”), Walter Barylli, Nathan Milstein and Mischa Elman First Editions. 
Cello recordings include the Philips Rostropovich & Richter Beethoven Sonatas collection and 2 x HMV  Jacqueline du Pre box-sets. 
There is also a selection of early stereo recordings, including a good number of First Editions & TAS-listed  items.
A high number of box-sets include some high-value collections, together with some very serious opera  sets, a number including First & Early Edition Stereo (SXL, SAN & SET) 
Collectors of Benjamin Britten & Andre Previn conducting should check the full auction, as there is a  serious number of both. 
There is also a good selection of vintage mono recordings on all major labels, as well as Nixa, all  beautifully preserved. 
All starting prices are exceptionally low, designed to ensure these recording sell. I am not a “shop”, I am  trying to clear space ! 
Please compare my starting prices to similar items on Ebay – condition is the same - I am merely ensuring  that my starting prices are the lowest ?
All postage are rates set at ‘cost’

Vinyl Condition: Near Mint Sleeve Condition:Near Mint
=======================================================================================  CONDITION GRADINGS 
My descriptions are logical, simple and straightforward, as outlined – below: 
Near Mint  Vinyl : flawless vinyl but for superlight sleeve rub/spindle marks.  Sleeve/Box: minimal blemishes 
Excellent +  Vinyl only: one or two very light, non-sounding hairline marks. 
Excellent  Vinyl: A few more hairline / light marks. Maybe the odd pop or crackle.  Sleeve/Box: Starting to age, possible light stains, index no’s on rear, evidence of sticker being removed 
Excellent-  Vinyl only: A few more hairline and light marks still. May be some light background noise/crackle with  the occasional pop, and tick in places. 
Very Good+  Vinyl: Quite a few marks./surface noise.  Sleeve/Box: Likely seam splits, loss of surface due to sticker removal, age-stained. 
I will NOT list any LP in worse condition, although the occasional sleeve may be more worn ! 
Please rest-assured that all significantly visible marks are sound-checked and described accurately. 
I try to keep my gradings as simple as possible. Nothing will be ‘mint’ because all these recordings are  pre-owned. No vinyl graded below Very Good+ will be listed.  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  RETURNS  If you bid and win a recording, please be assured that:  I am happy to guarantee a refund on any recording, found to fall below my grading ?  I aim to be a straightforward, 100% honest EBay Seller. If any item falls below your expectation, I  guarantee I will resolve the issue without debate.

POSTAGE 
## IMPORTANT – International Bidders ##
I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO FIND THE CHEAPEST POSTAGE RATES ON YOUR MULTIPLE  PURCHASES. 
Standard rate of charge for individual LP’s. 
Multiple purchases will be charged on the combined weight. 
Sellers are encouraged to put a collection 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 Mail Air Mail’ is around £8.50 (£8.50 per LP)  6 x LP’s on the same service are around £18.75 (£3 per LP)  However, using an alternative international courier –  30 x LP’s equate to around £40.00 (£1.30 / LP)  In other words, the more items you purchase, the far better the postage rates ! 
Box-sets are listed with their specific, packaged weight, due to the variation in weights and the size of  accompanying libretto ? 
I AM HAPPY TO SHIP WORLDWIDE, BUT EBAY APPEARS TO (NOW) DICTATE THAT I USE THEIR SERVICE ? I WILL UNPUT THE VALUE AND WEIGHT OF THE ITEM AND LEAVE EBAY TO INVOICE INTERNATIONAL BUYERS   THE NECESSARY INSURANCE WILL BE ADDED TO EVERY INVOICE FOR MORE VALUABLE RECORDINGS (£25  and above), TO COVER THE COST OF THE PURCHASE.
