CONDITION:
RECORD: all sides NM to EX+ except SET 612 side 3 has a 3mm scuff, and SET 460 side 7 has a light mark, I would grade these sides EX-. Vast majority of records have no spindle marks. A few sides might need a light clean or may have some light sweating which will not effect play
SLEEVE:   all boxes NM to VG (majority EX) (SET 239 has a tear to the edge of the lid), all booklets NM to EX 
COMMENTS:  These records and indeed the other small job lots of opera / vocal music I have listed all came from 1 collection of around 4000 mainly opera and vocal records. This collection had been cared for and only played on high end equipment (Thorens deck with a range or Shure cartridges). I have many obscure lps and sets, plenty of historic recordings and private pressings, obscure international labels etc.... if any one might be interested in these pieces please do get in touch, as I am lacking in time to list them (hence the job lots!) and in space to store them. if I get time I will try and list some other job lots, so if you are interested in these type of lp please keep checking my listings. Packaged weight of this item is 12KG. PLEASE SEE COURIER RATES BELOW FOR HEAVY PARCELS, HAPPY TO COMBINE POSTAGE! Postage for this item is by courier due to the weight. Prices given are a QUOTE ONLY as courier prices vary depending on your country and indeed your location within a country. For an exact postage quote please message me you country and post / zip code.

FOR HEAVY ORDERS (eg 10 KG or 20 KG) I CAN POST WORLDWIDE BY COURIER. 

PARCELS OVER 5KG (around 25 records) ARE USUALLY MORE ECONOMICAL BY COURIER - FOR PACKAGES LESS THAN 5KG ROYAL MAIL IN SEPARATE PARCELS IS USUALLY THE CHEAPEST AND FASTEST. 

There are many different couriers available, some courier companies are cheaper to certain countries than others - I WILL DO MY BEST TO FIND THE CHEAPEST COURIER FOR THE SIZE OF YOUR ORDER AND THE COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN.

50 records when packaged usually weighs around 18-20KG. The courier price varies from country to country and sometimes varies due to location in a country, but it seems much cheaper when sending lots of lps or many box sets. 

TO POST BY COURIER I WILL NEED YOUR PHONE NUMBER AS THE COURIER WILL NOT POST WITHOUT IT.

COURIER PRICES ARE CHARGED AT COST, AS WITH OTHER POSTAGE COSTS I DO NOT MAKE PROFIT ON POSTAGE: 

COURIER PRICE + PACKAGING COST + EBAY TAKE 10% OF POSTAGE COST + PAYPAL 5% = FINAL PRICE

COURIER PRICES GIVEN ON LISTINGS PAGES FOR LARGE BOX SETS OR SMALL COLLECTIONS ARE A QUOTE ONLY - PLEASE MESSAGE ME YOUR POST CODE / ZIP CODE AND COUNTRY FOR AN EXACT COURIER COST.

PLEASE NOTE: 1.  Any customs / import charges incurred on international parcels are to be paid by the buyer! Customs charges vary from country to country.

   2. Ebay take 10% of all postage and packaging charges, Paypal take their percentage too (2-5% depending on which currency the invoice is paid in). I do not make any profit on postage at all, the money I actually receive after Ebay and Paypal have taken their percentage is the exact amount or even a little less than it actually costs to buy the postage stamps and to buy cruciform record mailers and cardboard stiffeners. For example:1 record posted to China (weight 500g). Cost for postage stamp: £7.80,   Cost for Mailers etc £1, so total I need to actually receive after fees is £8.80. Ebay take 10%, Paypal 5% from China, so total they take is 15%. I charge £10.30 to post this record, less 15% is actually £8.75, a little less than it actually costs. As I have said, I do not make any profit at all on postage, if other sellers can post cheaper then they are doing so at a loss, I can't do this, sorry!

***PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT CLEAN ANY CLASSICAL RECORDS. I DO NOT HAVE A PROFESSIONAL CLEANING MACHINE AND DO NOT WANT TO CLEAN THESE RECORDS WITH A CLOTH FOR FEAR OF MARKING THE SURFACE OF THE RECORD. I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT ALL RECORDS SHOULD BE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED PRIOR TO PLAYING TO ENSURE THE HIGHEST QUALITY AUDIO PLAY BACK, THANKS****.

***ALL RECORDS HAVE BEEN VISUALLY GRADED. IF THERE ARE ANY LIGHT MARKS THESE HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED TO CHECK FOR SOUND QUALITY***

Records will be posted out in proper cruciform record mailers with a cardboard stiffener. I will get a proof of postage from the post office for all records. If you need special postal requirements or wish to use a different postal method (eg.Parcelforce) please get in touch, these will be charged at cost. Ebay now takes 10% of all post and packaging costs, i have to factor this in when calculating post and packaging costs, i don't make any profit on these P&P costs. All auctions will run to the end with no reserve price. If you need to know anything about the record or auction just get in touch and I'll do my best to answer your questions, thanks for looking

Payment within one week of auction end please

Records are guaranteed. If you are not happy a full refund will be issued, minus postage costs, upon return of the record
