Howdy folks, I'm back...been busy moving from the West Coast back to the beautiful Midwest. I'm completely settled in (finally) and I have hundreds of records that are going to be auctioned off in the next few months. I'm expecting another member of my family to arrive in February so I'm going to hit it hard over the winter. I will most likely be auctioning items in multiple record lots. There will be some complete catalogs and some that are pretty darned close. All good stuff, no fluff. I have an extensive classic rock catalog (AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Dylan,The Doors, The Who, Kiss) along with a ton of metal (Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Testament, etc.), a sh*tload of quality 80's metal (GnR, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Ozzy, Judas Priest, Scorpions, etc.), and a lot of punk, post-punk, new wave and alternative stuff (The Clash, The Ramones, Japan, The Jam, The Replacements, and other obscure and underground artists). 

As much as I am in favor of brick and mortar record stores, you have to admit that a lot of them are picked clean and the turnover isn't like it used to be. Nobody's bringing anything in anymore, and if they do, it's gone before you can get there. This is where you have to go to find them. Records are getting harder to find by the minute and the value isn't going down anytime soon. Due to the collectible nature and the superior audio quality, it's worth every penny. I do as much (if not more) buying than I do selling. My records are like my babies. But don't tell my real babies I said that :-)

PLEASE SAVE ME AS A FAVORITE SELLER and check out MY OTHER CURRENT AUCTIONS! Everything is cleaned and then visually graded. I do my best. I don't like misrepresenting items. I've been here since 1998 and had the pleasure of one jackass giving me a negative feedback. One and ONLY one. Thanks drexlermcstyles22. This buyer has ruined several other honest sellers feedback and other than this unhappy person, things have been hunky dory here. Oh, and speaking of hunky and dory, did I tell you about how many Bowie records I have? Holy crap. I've been hoarding. I have several copies of many of these records, sometimes up to 15-20, hence the lots. Time to lighten the load. International bidders are more than welcome, this will be a good chance for you to get some really great stuff and save on shipping. But, please remember you are responsible for the shipping charges. Records are heavy. Stick around, let's hang out and meet each other. This is fun for me. It can be for you too if you take the time to read my descriptions and follow the rules. I love giving discounts to returning customers! Combined shipping is AWESOME!

The first of many, MANY METAL auctions. It's time to liquidate. There's going to be a lot of good stuff up in the next couple weeks. I'm going A-Z. Starts with Anthrax and goes through...hmmm, don't think I have any Znowhite. Let's see, who's going to be last on my list? Williams. As in WENDY O. So there you go, and here you go. Everything starts at $1.99.

***MOST OF MY VINYL IS USED, SO AGAIN - PLEASE PAY ATTENTION THE THE GRADING DETAILS!***

***NO SHIPPING TO ITALY***NO WAY***NEVER AGAIN***

Overall, anything with a grade of 7/VG+ will show some surface wear and/or needle marks but nothing deep. Anything with that grade will still play fine in my book. Obviously if it's an 8/EX or 9/NrMINT it will be in fantastic condition. Please note the subjective nature of grading; your VG+ might be my VG or my VG+ might be someone else's EX - you just have to pay attention, read my grading scale, and most importantly - ASK QUESTIONS.

HERE'S HOW I GRADE:

10 – MINT (Sealed, perfect condition.)

9 – Nr MINT (Like new with only a hint of wear.)

8 – EX (Very few blemishes. Maybe a couple light scratches on the vinyl or a few light creases to the jacket. Serious collectors will be satisfied with this grade.)

7 – VG+ (Average, used condition. Most of my vinyl and jackets are in this condition. Vinyl will show playwear/scratches, but nothing deep and it will play through fine. You may encounter a "pop" or two or some light background noise.The jacket may have creasing, edgewear, ringwear, or corner dings but nothing significant.)

6 – VG (Vinyl/jacket may will show a fair to moderate amount of wear .Vinyl may show a number of scratches and you will likely experience some background noise during playback, but NO skips. The jacket may show a fair amount of wear in the form of creasing, edgewear, ringwear, writing, seam splits, etc.)

5 – VG- (Rarely will I sell anything of this grade unless it is a collector item with some value. Moderate to heavy wear on the vinyl and/or jacket.)

I WILL DETAIL ANY IMPERFECTIONS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY IN MY ITEM DESCRIPTION.

SHIPPING:

I will ship up to 12 records for $4.00, any additional records are .50 each. Yes - TWELVE RECORDS FOR FOUR BUCKS. I accept Paypal only. I will ship to International locations but bidders will pay anywhere from $17-20 for 1 album and $2.00 for each additional LP. I recommend REGISTERED MAIL for ALL International bidders. If you fail to request insurance or registered mail, you agree to absorbing ALL of the liability if your package is lost or damaged. Most of my records are shipped in a BRAND NEW 13x13x2 sturdy cardboard box and the contents are secured in bubble wrap or double boxed in one of those cheap record mailing boxes (I hate when people use those - I use them for a double layer of backup protection). You’ll be happy be with the packaging - I guarantee it. I will also add insurance at my expense on anything over $50.

*IF YOU WIN MULTIPLE AUCTIONS, I WILL SOMETIMES THROW IN FREE SHIPPING! THE MORE YOU BUY, THE MORE YOU WILL SAVE ON POSTAGE COSTS!*

*IF I ATTEMPT TO RIP YOU OFF ON SHIPPING CHARGES LIKE OTHERS ON EBAY ($2.00 for each additional LP? Bite me!) OR SEND YOU A RECORD SANDWICHED BETWEEN 2 USED PIECES OF FLIMSY CARDBOARD, I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO PUNCH ME IN THE FACE.*

*THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK!*

*I just pulled this record out to listen to it and took a closer look at the cover. There appears to be some staining on the front of the jacket over a few of the guys faces - mainly Paul and Ace. It's a dark album cover so I didn't notice this right away. 

Due to this, I am downgrading the jacket from 7/VG+ to 6/VG.

I have added an extra photo so you are aware of this when placing your bid. If you have any questions or need more photos, please contact me. Thanks!
