Regular classical collectors will recognise my name as a consistent seller.  Whilst hunting down collectable classical, I also come across a wide variety of  contemporary recordings. 
Therefore, I am now starting a small, additional auction of LP’s. 
Several very high value recordings – listed at a very low starting price, to ensure the  recordings sell and to encourage early bidding ! 
Note - All postage are rates set at ‘cost’ ??

========================================================================================== 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. 
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.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  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 ?   POSTAGE 
IMPORTANTInternational Bidders – 
I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO FIND THE CHEAPEST POSTAGE RATES ON YOUR  MULTIPLE PURCHASES.  HOWEVER - I AM NOT WILLING TO PUT A FALSE VALUE ON THE PACKAGE’s CUSTOMS  LABEL.  ALL LABELS, CUSTOMS AND POSTAGE DOCUMENTS WILL QUOTE THE CORRECT VALUE   Standard rate of charge for individual LP’s – additional insurance may apply. 
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 notes.
I AM HAPPY TO SHIP WORLDWIDE. 
THE NECESSARY INSURANCE WILL BE ADDED TO EVERY INVOICE FOR MORE VALUABLE  RECORDINGS (£25 and above), TO COVER THE COST OF THE PURCHASE. 
EUROPEAN BUYERS – PLEASE WAIT FOR YOUR INVOICE, AS YOUR RATE WILL BE CHEAPER  THAN THE POSTAGE RATE QUOTED. EBAY ONLY ALLOWS ONE INTERNATIONAL RATE ON A  LISTING… 
PAYMENT  PAYPAL ONLY ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS OUTSIDE THE UNITED KINGDOM. 
RETURNS  I aim to be a straightforward, 100% honest EBay Seller. If any item falls below your expectation, I guarantee  that I will resolve the issue without debate.
