Description

I have now decided that it is time to dispose of my 7” singles collection.


At first, I will be offering them in job lots, by artists, on auction listings initially, with pretty reasonable starting prices. Those which fail to sell on auction will be re-listed at fixed prices.


All will be listed and pictured. Every single one will be perfectly playable, and although some of the older ones (pre 70s) may show considerable wear, the majority will be in VG+ condition or better. Any dropping significantly below that grading will be indicated in the listing. Many of the more recent releases are unplayed, as at one point I was purchasing every single which reached the chart, whether I liked it or not.


If there is no picture sleeve in the pics shown in the listing, there will be no picture sleeve, and it will come in either a plain sleeve or a company sleeve.


Shipping (UK addresses only) is included in the price. Any lots valued at over £20 will be sent by an appropriate tracked method.


Thank you.
