2nd PHASE
What does this mean?
The 1st phase was the implementation of the Bernardo’s Business Model as outlined below. The 2nd phase is as records are re-listed or new discs added. The records in this 2nd phase are grouped into two categories; rare, hard-to-find or new records bought in England or Germany in the ‘80s which are all from my personal collection or the 4,000+ titles that I must sell before I return to the EU later this year. These titles are discounted already but look for even steeper discounts especially for multi-record purchases.
The rare, hard-to-find and new records bought in England or Germany in the ‘80s will be re-priced based upon what it will take to get me to let them go. Many of the current rare listings will be reduced but there will be no further reductions. Most will have an option to “Make An Offer.” They will be either new listings or relisted for 90 days and then if unsold, they will be taken down and boxed for my return to the EU by the end of the year and subsequently sold at record shows primarily in Germany at higher prices than they will be offered on eBay. The not-so-rare titles after 90 days may be relisted again or sold to local dealers but they will not return to Europe with me.
The new general shipping policy is shipping within ONE BUSINESS DAY of confirmed Paypal payment and most are offered with a 14 DAY MONEY BACK RETURN GUARANTEE. Buy a minimum four records and get free USA domestic shipping or reduced international shipping.

“We can’t guarantee each record will be perfect, but we will get it as good as it can be when it is sent. These records can be up to 50 years old with unknown storage and handling but you can be assured that we can do wonders in saving old vinyl so that it can be enjoyed not endured!”
PLEASE NOTE: All records are visually inspected under a strong light and selected discs are played in order to come up with a meaningful evaluation. Every mark, mar, imperfection, scratch and countless other potential anomalies are not considered individually and certainly not singled out unless they are heard repeatedly in the play process, but rather lumped together in things such as “occasional light paper scratches” for example. If I can’t hear it on the playback, I obviously won’t comment on it.
I use a Music Hall 9.1, a Music Hall 5.1 or an AR “The Turntable” with either a Goldring Eroica MC, Goldring 2200 MM or a Denon A100 MC cartridge depending on the turntable. Please do not assume, as occasionally I get accused of, that I should have noted something in the listing which you might hear and I don’t. My stellar feedback speaks for itself and after selling close to 6,000 records since 1999, I will do my best to deliver to you the best product I can. These are used records and in many cases 20, 30 or 40+ years old with, unless I bought them new, an unknown history of cleaning, storage and playback equipment. I can’t guarantee that with your cartridge, turntable and set-up you won’t hear something I don’t but I can guarantee that I won’t send anything that is intentionally below my high standards.
I am dealing with hundreds of records a week these days so there are times when I might miss something. I usually catch anything I might have missed earlier when I do my final checks/plays of discs before they get boxed up. If I find something, I will e-mail the buyer with a solution but sometimes record issues do escape me. This is vinyl. Please don’t assume that I am trying to screw you over. Don’t write me hostile e-mails but rather send me an e-mail describing the situation. We will work something out. We are only dealing in records. Look at my feedback. I pride myself on honesty, integrity and fair play.
INCREDIBLE STRING BAND – I Looked Up (Elektra, red 1st issue, 1970)
After looking over the other copies available of this album, I am sure this copy as good as you will find. The cover is without issues. It is absolutely beautiful. The matte finish has the feel and texture of new. There is eh slightest of some black pressure scuffing on the back which you can see if you look closely at the pics. There are no rips, tears or splits in the seams. What is so amazing is that the front and back covers have NO scraping or scuffing on the pictures. They are just like-new.
I am 100% sure you will not find a better copy of this vinyl. It is super shiny, coal black and under a strong light I could not even find any paper scratches. It is fantastic and oh so beautiful and IT IS AN ORIGINAL!
