I have the complete UK set of EPs for sale, which I will put on eBay in small groups over the next few days/weeks. So keep watching!

I have been a Beatles fan since the day I sat down in 1973 to listen to the ‘Blue Album’. As a young lad this was the first time I had consciously listened to the band. From the first few bars of Strawberry Fields Forever, I was hooked. So it is with a very heavy heart that I now have to sell my vinyl collection!  I have been selling a number of items recently but now need to let the vinyl go. I am not a dealer, so please accept my gradings as being as honest as I can make them without a professional background or equipment. Unless stated the gradings are visual, as I just don’t have the time to play grade everything.

Each record will be removed from it’s original sleeve and dispatched in a plain white sleeve. Both sleeve and record will be placed in an individual protective, clear PVC sleeve and dispatched in a record mailer with stiffeners.

I always obtain a proof of posting from Post Office.

PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE

For non-UK Bidders PLEASE WAIT FOR MY INVOICE for postage.

To ensure all items are traceable when sending overseas, I will only use Royal Mail’s International Tracked service. Ebay/Paypal insist that they will only credit or believe the items have been sent, when the seller can provide a tracking number. So that is how I will send all my Beatles items outside the UK. This may make my postage charges a little higher than some other sellers but it provides peace of mind to myself and the buyer.

Approx. costs are as follows:

EUROPE £8.00.

US £12.00.

AUSTRALIA / JAPAN £15.00

Payments must be made within 5 days of purchasing unless an alternative arrangement has been agreed upon.

Please Note: If no contact is made by the winning bidder following the mandatory Ebay 3 days, I will reserve the right to re-list the item or offer it to the runner-up, unless prior notice of any delay is arranged beforehand.

If you are unhappy with an item, I am happy to offer a full refund (inc. P&P) on return of the item. Items must be returned within 12 Days of receipt and in the same condition they were sent out. Return postage must be paid by buyer.
