OVERSTOCK ALERT!!!! 

This week I have a large amount of overstock of the UTMOST rarity!  And there is some truly SUPERB items here - some of which are even completely UNIQUE!  Of course - I will be doing my usual amount of auctions (all ending every Sunday as usual!) - but because I have a few extra items, I have decided to list the excess overstock as a Buy It Now!  And these 'buy it now' listings come from 2 very different sources:-

1) An Ex Music Producer who worked for the BBC in the 1960s & 1970s:-  Items from this collection are either TEST PRESSINGS, Factory Samples, or other similar Promotional items of the UTMOST RARITY!!!!

2) Music I dont usually sell in my auctions:-  Any type of music I dont usually sell in my auctions, I have decided to list as a buy it now.

So in short - there are some truly SPECTACULAR items on my buy it now listings, and definitely NO dross AT ALL!!!!

DETAILS ABOUT GRADING & BACKGROUND ON MY BUY IT NOW AUCTIONS (Please read!)

Obviously it is in both my interest and the buyers interest to grade CORRECTLY!  So I grade EVERYTHING standing on a chair directly under a 150 watt bulb which reveals everything!  Therefore if I grade a record 'VG' - it does NOT mean it is 'covered in scuffing and marks' - it will still be a VERY clean looking record indeed, and often barely played!  For example - if I hold a record under light and see a lovely black sheen, but a few of the VERY lightest paper scuffs, and 2 or 3 VERY light lines - I will still ONLY grade the record VG+.  So whilst you shouldnt expect MINT from my 'VG' records - you should still expect a VERY clean & bright looking record indeed!  And even my records graded only 'Good' or Good+' will be VERY presentable playable examples indeed!  And if I list a record in the condition most LPs seem to be in today (namely covered in general light scuffing - but still plays through absolutely fine with a few crackles & pops) - then I would ONLY grade this record Fair or even Poor+.  So I am very VERY strict on grading indeed - and almost NEVER use an Excellent grading unless the record looks virtually 'factory fresh' under light!  PLEASE ALSO NOTE - obviously as there are a lot of buy it nows being listed, I have had no time to play every groove on every record (that would be impossible!), so I have given a visual grading + play checked sound quality in snippets.  However it is very VERY easy to spot any sounding marks under light, and these were checked to make sure they did not jump or stick.  That said - quite a few of the Buy It Nows I am listing look like they just came from the Factory and are in AMAZING condition!  In short - if you buy one of my records, and expect the grade given you should be very pleasantly surprised indeed!  And in the unlikely event of a problem, any purchase is also covered by a refund including postage. 

I HAVE ALSO TRIED TO PRICE THESE RECORDS TO SELL - AND HAVE NOT SET THE 'BUY IT NOW' PRICE SLIGHTLY 'HIGH' HOPING THAT BEST OFFERS (USING THE EBAY 'BEST OFFER' FUNCTION) COME IN AT 'ABOUT THE RIGHT PRICE'....  I WANT TO GET THESE RECORDS SHIFTED QUICKLY!  BE AWARE THOUGH - THAT SOME OF THESE ITEMS MAY WELL FLY OUT IMMEDIATELY AT THE 'BUY IT NOW' PRICE ALONE (AS THEY ARE PRICED UP VERY CHEAPLY INDEED IN COMPARISON WITH THEIR EXTREME RARITY!), SO YOU MAY WELL HAVE TO BE QUICK!  IN SHORT - I HAVE TRIED TO GRADE VERY STRICTLY INDEED - AND PRICE THESE RECORDS TO GO!

So please buy with absolute confidence and take a look at this GREAT item on offer below:-

RARITY:-  AMAZING RARITY - AND SURELY YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO FIND UNUSED FACTORY STOCK FROM 1979!!!!  This listed is for the TIN (with the ULTRA RARE 'Metal 1' Sticker on the bottom!) and dividers ONLY.  This TIN sat in a warehouse for many MANY years - and was never EVER used in the original 1st Press run!  Apparently (according to the previous owner) it was simply mislaid at the time, and when the warehouse was cleared out later - these were found then UNUSED!  It was never matched up with the records and NEVER used on the Factory line!  It also has an EXCESSIVE amount of 'dividers' inside it for some reason!  However, the records & insert are very VERY easily found - the hardest part is finding a Tin that still looks SILVER (this one does!) and still has the 'Metal 1' Sticker on the bottom (this one does!)!!!!  AMAZING RARITY - UNUSED STOCK FROM 1979 IS ALMOST NEVER SEEN NOW!
