WonderTwin Records is MOVING!!

So here's your chance at a once in a lifetime opportunity---I'd rather sell 'em than move 'em!!!

And---to prove once and for all that I'm completely crazy---there's no reserve on this lot & bidding starts at 1 penny!

HELP!!! I have too many records! 

Here's the deal: I bought 30,000 more LPs. That's right, I said 30,000!!! But now I have to move--my wife & I bought a house--& she DOESN'T WANT TO MOVE ALL THESE!!

I have to unload these records NOW!!!!

Description:

This is a vast selection of records. It is not a collection, rather it's more of an accumulation--parts of various lots I have bought over the last several years. I have been through a lot of it, but other parts remain unexplored. In particular, the COUNTRY & FOLK selection is notable: there are an awful lot of cool old folk/country LPs that I just had no time to look at. I don't no a lot about those genres, so my loss is your gain!! (There are also a lot of soundtracks & broadway shows that could be valuable.)

This group includes records in all categories. However, most of these records are in the following categories: country/western; folk; shows & soundtracks; pop vocals; easy listening; Christian; children's; miscellaneous.

There are also several hundred 78's (mostly classical) which are also included.

THERE IS LITTLE JAZZ, ROCK, SOUL/R&B or CLASSICAL 

Condition:

Obviously, when we are talking about this many records, condition will be all over the place. The vast majority are VG or better. Many are better--in some cases much better.

 Welecome to...WonderTwin Records

Vinyl Condition Grades

I strictly adhere to the Goldmine grading system. All records are graded conservatively under direct light (I use a 120 watt spot flood).

M=Mint =New: Clearly unplayed & in perfect condition.

NM=Near Mint. As new. Close to perfect condition.

Ex= Excellent: Not an official Goldmine grade. I use this to indicate records that are a cut below NM but definitely better than VG+ as per Goldmine. This should be considered a very desirable grade for older [mid sixties and back] records.

VG+=Very Good Plus: Slight wear but still a quality copy. Unlike some sellers on ebay, my VG+ grading adheres strictly to Goldmine standards! A VG+ record has unquestionably seen some time on a turntable, but it has been played gently & carefully stored.

VG+ by no means indicates a dicey copy!  I cannot emphasize this point enough! I abhor & reject the ‘grade inflation’ that seems to have taken hold in online record selling. In the long run, such misrepresentation can only be bad for all of us who care about the hobby.

VG=Very Good: The most misunderstood grade. A VG record has substantial but superficial wear. This does NOT mean one of those thrift store Beatles records that looks like it’s been nicked all over with a steak knife! Rather, a VG record will exhibit numerous ‘spider web’ stylus marks, faded gloss & perhaps a few bona fide ‘scratches’ (detectable by running a fingertip along the groove & over the mark ).

The buyer should expect that a VG record will play through without skips, though likely w/ some surface noise. Many fifties & sixties LP records were incredibly well-made & play very nicely in this condition. But of course, without play-testing there’s no way to be absolutely certain.

G=Good: Wear and scratches; the record was played a lot, but should still play through without skips. I only sell very rare records in this condition.
