I bought these second hand years ago, and doubt that I ever played them. They appeared unplayed when I bought them, and the LPs remain in near mint condition: bright with no scuffs or scratches. Booklets are all present, as are all LPs.
Most of the boxes are in excellent condition, though the tape that hinges the boxes has somewhat yellowed and grown brittle with age. There is light wear at many of the box corners, as may be seen in the photos, and a few nicks here and there. Volume 1 has damage at the bottom edges of the spine, and the lid is partly detached at the rear (left) spine edge. Volume 7 has some damage to the top of the box in the back (see photos for both).
I have allowed the foam sheets which cushion the inside of the boxes to remain, though they are beginning to deteriorate, and the buyer may wish to discard them after shipping. They have done no harm to the LPs or sleeves.
A magnificent set of Bach in prime condition, and rather uncommon.
(These will be shipped in two shipments via media mail.)
