_________________________________________________
Periodically, I offer a selection of top-quality classical recordings, listed for sale to reduce the size of my own collection and raise funds to cover a particularly expensive purchase of my own !
GRADINGS :-
As always, I endeavour to keep things simple, so I will give specific gradings to each recording – these will be very good+ /excellent / near mint or (very occasionally) mint. Basically, if there is a flaw – I will tell you, and whether it is audible !
I do not get the chance to sound-check every recording, but every visible mark with the potential of being audible IS checked. I believe the quality of my feedback suggests I get this right, and if (very rarely) wrong - my unequivocal refund policy ensures 100% satisfaction.
POSTAGE :-
I will tell you the exact weight and cost of each and every item, to which I add a small sum to cover all the packaging (heavy-duty protective outer sleeves and custom-made transport sleeves with a minimum of two stiffeners).
I reserve the right to add an additional insurance premium on all items that sell for over £30.00 (Recorded Delivery in the UK / AirSure for Europe and International Signed For to the rest of the world).
I encourage all bidders to consider multiple purchases, the savings on combined postage are always substantial. However – please inform me if you are compiling a collection.
I will NOT despatch items by Surface Mail.
STARTING PRICES :-
Generally 20 – 30% of ‘Book Price’ and I never set a reserve.
I only accept Paypal from purchasers outside the United Kingdom.
As the period of listings is only going to be 10 days – I request that payment be completed within three days of the closure of bidding.
RETURNS :-
I offer a money-back guarantee (including return postage) if you are not 100% satisfied that the item is as described.
