(I am willing to hold records until you have filled a 10kg or 20kg package but all records must be paid for each week as they are won).

For worldwide shipping costs for 1 to 7 records see further down the page. The more records you win the cheaper the postage. (Just like a discount). If you would like cheaper shipping see my eBay "me" page for further details.

I always keep "Proof of Posting" receipts. If an item is lost in the post I have to fill in a claim form to the Royal Mail. Unless you take out adequate insurance cover the maximum they will compensate is the value of the item up to 30GBP. They may deny responsibility if it is lost in another country. If in doubt it is always best to insure. Any item over 30GBP in value MUST be insured.

The LPs and sleeves are visually graded through magnifying glasses under a 100W lightbulb and then again in strong daylight (when we have it in the UK) and play graded if necessary. Stereo records will be play graded on a GARRARD 4O1 turntable with SME 3OO9 II tonearm and SHURE V15 Type IV or Type III cartridge. Mono records will be played on a TH0RENS TD160 B MKII turntable with SME 3OO9 II tonearm and GRAD0 Prestige MC+ dedicated mono cartridge. When play graded the results will be reported above. 

If you have an email address which ends in @hanmail.net or @aol.com please make sure you can receive emails from me and eBay as they are often returned as undeliverable to these addresses.

I am now selling 100+ records every week on eBay by daily or weekly auctions and "My Ebay Shop".

I have 2,000+ classical vinyl records on various labels including 1,000+ which I am gradually selling at just 1.00GBP each with "Buy it Now" on my eBay shop and not by auction.

GRADING

M = A 'Mint' record and sleeve has never been played and may still be in it's original wrapping.

NM = A 'Near Mint' grade record will have no sounding marks and a crisp clean sleeve.

Ex = An 'Excellent' grade record and sleeve may have only a few light superficial surface marks and scuffs but no major scratches.

VG = A 'Very Good' grade record will have more or heavier surface marks and/or sleeve wear but should play without any major deterioration of sound quality.

G = A 'Good' grade record and sleeve has been played so often that there is noticeable deterioration of sound quality with possibly some distortion and mild scratches. The cover will be well worn and possibly torn.

Any record and sleeve of a lower quality than 'Good' is discarded.

Only records of Near Mint (or occasionally Excellent) quality will be listed on eBay.

Some records in our catalogue are 50 years old or more and may need cleaning. We recommend that all records (even new ones due to the mould inhibitor and release agents used in manufacturing the discs) are professionally cleaned on a Moth, Nitty Gritty, Keith Monks, VPI or some other such machine.

We now have a Moth MKII and a Nitty Gritty 2.5Fi Record Cleaning Machines.

Just 0.99GBP per record. 

Price includes a new top quality inner sleeve (you do not put clean feet into dirty socks).

Buy this service from our ebay shop.

All records are covered by our money back, no quibble, guarantee once they have been returned to us in the same condition as when they were sent. See our 'Feedback' on eBay for our level of service.

Please add $5 to the total amount if paying by Western Union to cover their charge as the Money Order MUST be made out in GB Pounds sterling not dollars. This is still less expensive than UK bank charges, which would also have to be added to the final price, for cashing a dollar cheque.

I prefer Postal Orders in GBP, Cheques in GBP drawn on a UK bank (although PayPal is ok from non UK customers).

I will only accept PayPal as a last resort from UK customers as their fees to me vary from 4% to 10% depending on the cost of the item. I do NOT  pass this charge on.

For UK customers a cheque is preferred NOT PayPal. A cheque just costs you the price of a stamp, PayPal costs me 4% (10% on low cost items).

Buyer pays postage and packing costs.

All records professionally packed. Seller had 28 years experience in the packaging industry.

Shipping Costs

POSTAGE AND PACKING COSTS ARE IN BRITISH POUNDS GBP BY AIRMAIL [Royal Mail now charge the same rates for all destinations outside of Europe].

Includes Royal Mail price increase from April 2006.

Any parcel containing 3 to 7 records (or 8 if under 2kgs) are sent in a cardboard box inside a mailing bag.

All the prices above are in GBP

UK add 1GBP for each LP over 7.

ANY PARCEL OVER 2 KGS IN WEIGHT (NORMALLY 8 OR MORE RECORDS) HAS TO GO BY PARCELFORCE STANDARD OR ECONOMY SERVICE AT COST OR BY AIR (First Class) OR SURFACE MAIL (Second Class) IN 2 OR MORE PARCELS, OR BY FEDERAL EXPRESS OR DHL BY MUTUAL AGREEMENT.

BOX SETS WILL BE CHARGED AS FOLLOWS.....IF THERE ARE X RECORDS IN THE SET POSTAGE AND PACKING WILL BE CALCULATED AT X + 1 RECORDS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE BOX, BOOKLET, LIBRETTO ETC. (For example if it is a 3 disc boxset the shipping cost will be calculated at 3 + 1 = 4 LP's). If I have overestimated when I take the parcel to the Post Office then a credit will be given.

UK postage and packing costs are normally for First Class Post. (Second Class Post or Standard Parcel Post is available on request or may be used if felt necessary). Registered post for UK customers is 0.68GBP extra.

Surface Mail is almost half of the above prices (apart from Europe where it is only 1GBP cheaper) but takes 4 to 8 weeks to arrive. Airmail is the recommended method of despatch as it only takes up to 4 days. (Two or three Surface Mail parcels have not been arriving, particularly to the USA. Please be aware of this when you request this service as a credit can not be given for parcels lost in the post unless you have paid for insurance cover).

Insurance for airmail and surface mail is available at an extra 3.50GBP for 30GBP of cover or 5.00GBP for 250GBP of cover for each parcel via the "Signed For" service. "Airsure" (a trackable service) may be available to your country for 4.20GBP on top of the airmail charge with 30GBP of cover or 5.70GBP for 500GBP of cover.

Superior Packaging

All of my single and double records are sent in dedicated card mailing envelopes with 2 heavy duty cardboard stiffners with the corrugated flutes at 90 degrees to each other for added rigidity, the vinyl is removed from the outer covers and placed in polythene sleeves. Muliple records (3 or more) or boxsets are sent in dedicated corrugated cardboard boxes and then, where possible, placed in a Postal Bag. Red "Fragile" stickers are used both sides plus senders name and address for security reasons. If you request different or extra packing (which shouldn't be needed as my records are packed professionally) then I reserve the right to increase my packing costs which the buyer must pay. For example; if you have won 1 or 2 single lp's and you would prefer a corrugated box AND a postal bag please add 1GBP to the above shipping costs within the UK and 1.50GBP worldwide and notify me of your request.

If you want cheaper packing please let me know.
