Grading: I use a relative simple grading system, preferring to use text descriptions of the record’s condition.
Any scuffs, scratches &c will be noted in the description.
Excellent. Record will be completely or nearly pristine.
Very Good. Nice copy, but with some surface marks and perhaps some light scuffs and/or scratches
Good A bit scuffed, but still plays well
In my opinion, the important thing is that the music is always more dominant than any surface damage.
To anyone not familiar with 78s and how they sound, beware before buying any.
You will need a special player and stylus (preferable a selection of styli).
78s invariably have some surface noise, and sometimes even pristine ones are quite “scratchy” sounding
especially if the incorrect stylus is used, or if the record needs cleaning.
Packing: I am very familiar with the fragility of 78s, having collected them for over 40 years.
The record(s) will be well packed between thick cardboard, then bubble-wrapped and packed into
special cardboard packing box(es).
Delivery Charges: These include the cost of the packaging.
Unfortunately, posting a single record is expensive,
but with multiple wins, the postal cost per record will be less (see table below).
If you win more than one item, or you want the record(s) sent outside of the UK,
please wait for me to send you an invoice before paying.
Payments must be made via PayPal and should be within 3 days of invoicing/close of auction.
The default rate shown on the item is for delivery on one record to a UK postal-coded address.
Below are the guide prices for other parts of the world.
Remember, this is just a guide ; not all records weigh the same, and postal charges are liable to change.
Since the Royal Mail only cover parcel value up to £20 there may be an extra insurance charge on top
of these prices below, if the value of the records exceeds this. I will explain this in my invoice if so.
