Regular classical collectors will recognise my name as a consistent and reliable seller.
Primarily a collector, the proceeds go towards my own collection. As my normal employment is still affected by circumstances beyond anybody’s control, I am listing a further collection, to keep myself occupied. Having come upon a huge collection recently, this will be some 800+ quality recordings, all new to my auctions, with no ‘relists’. There is a very large number of opera box-sets, many on Decca and HMV.
This particular collection is aimed at collectors and (in particular) dealers. There are a number of “marquee” stereo First Editions, as well as a lot of other diverse, rare and collectable recordings. There are a significant number of TAS-listed records, within all categories.
The listing are grouped as follows:
1) Orchestral / Strings, (2) Violin,(3) Cello, (4) Piano/Keyboard, (5) Chamber, (6) Opera/Vocal
My starting prices are all designed to ensure that everything sells. These will be the lowest starting prices on EBay, with very competitive postage costs. This is the perfect opportunity for dealers to restock, by buying a large number and saving massively on combined postage ?
I am not a “shop”, I am trying to clear space and raise funds to improve my own personal collection !
All postage rates are 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.
: 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. Maybe some light background noise/crackle with the occasional pop, and tick in places.
I will not list any vinyl falling beneath Excellent-
An occasional damaged sleeve may fall to Very Good.
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
I aim to be a straightforward, 100%honest EBay Seller. If any item falls below your expectation, I guarantee Iwill resolve the issue without debate.
I am happy to guarantee a refund on any recording, found to fall below my grading ?
