COMMENTS: A great copy of this rare set. The records from Das Rheingold might need a bit of a clean, some of the protective foam that used to be in the record has disintegrated and there are a few bits of this on the outer rim of the record. Due to the weight, (around 7kg when packaged), i will have to send this box set via courier. The price varies from country to country, but here are the prices for some countries that i commonly send to. China, Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong £63 GBP, USA £43 GBP, Germany £37 GBP, UK £22. PLEASE WAIT FOR THE INVOICE BEFORE YOU PAY, UK POSTAGE IS £22 NOT THE £7 STATED (this is the most ebay let you put for a record).  Some other European countries will be a higher postage cost than Germany, please message me for details, THANKS

As of the 4th September 2013 Ebay has decided it will take a 10% cut of all post and packaging costs!!!!! ..... this will affect both domestic and international postage rates, sorry, but this is beyond my control. I do not make a profit on postage. here is an example of how i work out my postage: to post a record to the UK royal mail 2nd class is £2.60, record mailers and cardboard stiffners around 90p, which total £3.50. i now need to receive £3.90 (ebay now take 10% of this is £3.90 which is 39p,     £3.90 -39p = £3.51 which is what i need to receive for the cost of the postage). I understand this makes postage more expensive, but i can't do anything about it. If some business sellers can post records for cheaper than this they are doing so at a loss, i unfortunately cannot do this, hopefully this is understandable, thanks. 

always happy to combine postage for multiple buys. you can collect from south london to save on postage if you like! THANKS
