All images are of the actual items so you know exactly what you are bidding for. No ‘stock images’ here!
Descriptions and gradings are as accurate and realistic as possible. These records are 40+ years old and so the sleeves will have some degree of ‘shelf-wear’, although some will be better than others. Some may have had minor repairs.
Unless specifically stated to the contrary in the description, this item is guaranteed to have no handwriting on the sleeve or the labels, no serious scratches or similar defects and the picture sleeve, if applicable, will be a genuine original and NOT a ‘reproduction’.
All records are cleaned and play-tested, i.e., if there is a scratch or mark on the vinyl, that part of the record will be played to ascertain if it is audible or causes a skip.
Postage discount: If you successfully bid for multiple items, message me to request an invoice. Postage (and packing) will be charged for a single item. Bundles count as one item. If your items weigh more than 2Kg, the postage charge will increase in line with Royal Mail rates.
+++ HELPFUL TIP WHEN BIDDING FOR JOB LOTS +++
Before you make a bid on a job lot, especially a high-volume one (50+), ensure that you message the seller like so:-
I would like to bid on this job lot but I am hesitant after previous disappointing experiences. To help me decide whether or not I should bid, would you kindly provide the following assurances:-
 1. All picture sleeves are genuine originals, i.e., there are no 'reproduction' sleeves printed on a laser or inkjet printer or by any other non-industrial process).
 2. There is no damage serious enough to affect playability/listenability, e.g., long audible scratches, actual cracks, edge chips, etc.
 3. There is no handwriting (biro or marker pen) on the sleeve or labels. Graphite pencil is acceptable.
 4. Company sleeves match the record label.
The seller will have 2 options. To reply stating that the records are as described and do not contain any of the above defects, or, they can admit if some, or all, of the records are, in fact, defective in one or all of the ways described above. If they do not reply, assume that they are hiding something. Now you can decide if the item is worth your bid..
If the seller is not truthful about the actual condition of the records, you can get your money refunded more easily from eBay, if you cannot get it from the seller. Also, make sure you give the seller negative (but honest) feedback so that future bidders/buyers will know the seller cannot be trusted to provide quality goods. If you wish, you may append this helpful tip to your own listings.
