———————————————————————

Thanks for looking - I’m downsizing my family’s personal record collection and would like these to go to decent people who can listen to these and enjoy them like I have.

These have been listened to and loved. They’re clean and tidy, have been play-tested to ensure they’re of quality to sell, they don’t want to part with them but times are tough, so there’s a few bargains to be had.

All my records are sent RECORDED delivery with heavy mailers in proper secure condition. Once they’re out of my hands it’s down to postmen but I’ve great feedback. Don’t try and say you’ve not received it, because that’s why I send recorded.

I’ve researched the market as a guideline to list the starting prices of my records, based on recent sales and the going rates of what’s been sold.

All records have been play tested and graded with a high spec, meticulous view as I’m a picky listener.

Records are posted out tracked and insured (where applicable) to comply with eBay and PayPal protection policies.

All LPs will be mailed out in a strong cardboard LP mailing box and extra sheets of corrugated cardboard will be used where applicable. Once they’re out of my hands it’s down to postmen but I’ve strong feedback.

My Vinyl Grading - rarely items fall below these as I only tend to list new to VG only. If they’ve been inherited, they might be G+ or below, but I try not to list these often.

MINT

No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed.

NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there.

EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there.

VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches.

FAIR (F) For discs that are essentially overplayed, good for display, more decorative, not really for playing.

Finally: don’t be rude or send me messages saying albums don’t work on your setup. All these pressings have been play tested on a REGA setup through Edifier speakers to ensure a clean sold record.
