RARE LET IT BE BOX SET PXS 1 IN GREAT CONDITION.

Hi and welcome to my auction. My name is Stuart, and let me start by saying that first and foremost, I am an avid record collector, NOT A DEALER, and have been since I purchased my first record in the early 60's. I have now decided that I don't need so many duplicates of everything, so have decided to thin down my collection to make room! Most of the records I will be selling over the coming weeks will be either duplicates or ones that I have acquired that do not fit into my collection.

I take great care of all my records as regards storage and protection, and they are stored upright and in a dry and dust free environment, away from the light. All the ones I will be listing will be carefully play tested and visually graded whenever possible. Any significant defects to the record or sleeve will be noted in the listing. I will use the grading system found in the Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide.

Buyer satisfaction is very important to me, and I am very proud of my unblemished 100% feedback, which I have had since starting Ebaying 6 years ago. Please be sure to check out my feedback to see the comments from satisfied buyers of my records so far, and bid with 100% confidence. If I grade a record as near mint ( I do not believe in grading mint, unless it is brand new) then you can be sure that it will be visually and audibly just that, and would be hard to find a better example!

I will give a full, money back guarantee if item is significantly not as described. (less return postage costs). If there are any problems with your purchase, please contact me before leaving negative feedback, and I will endeavour to solve them to our mutual satisfaction.

Ok, now I have given you some background information about myself, it's time to get on with the auction.

PLEASE READ THE COMPLETE LISTING DETAILS, ESPECIALLY THE POSTAGE INFORMATION NEAR THE BOTTOM, BEFORE PLACING ANY BIDS.
