HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY 'ONE OFF' WEDNESDAY NIGHT AUCTIONS (ENDING LATE WEDNESDAY 2ND JULY!)!!!!

As many people may already know, I usually end all my items on Sunday nights (and these will still continue!)!!!!  However as I had quite a few extra items of UTMOST RARITY come in to me this week (they really are TOP QUALITY, and NOT cheap overstock!) and completely ran out of time to list them last Sunday - I decided to do a 'one off' set of listings of Wednesday auctions ending on Wednesday 2nd July!!!!  So PLEASE NOTE that this auction will end late on Wednesday 2nd July (and NOT Sunday!) - though of course, I will be putting more auctions on during the week for next Sundays auctions!!!!  And please don’t forget take a look at my other auctions, as there really is some AMAZING items listed!!!!  Thanks for reading and please take a look at this AMAZING item below:-

The record labels to BOTH records are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!!  A SUPERB SET OF LABELS!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT condition - and still looks very VERY decent indeed!!!!  Most of these 60s Double LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and BOTH records have NO nasty concentric marks, only 3 or 4 MEGA light scufflines, only 2 or 3 lateral hairline type marks, only 3 or 4 light hairlines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  BOTH RECORDS STILL RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINE LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that BOTH records play as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO skips, only a few VERY light clicks (though mostly NONE!), NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The records are also VERY slightly uneven - though this does not affect play in the slightest!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!!  BOTH records must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good(Minus) if not Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) - though both are still VERY bright & shiny, and still look VERY nice indeed!!!!  STILL A VERY DECENT SET OF RECORDS INDEED!!!!  Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy!  Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.

PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt.   MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):-  Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little.  Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002.  However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever.  However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out.  Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself.  On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!).  I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs!  And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference.  THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER!  No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged.  Any questions - please ask!
