Description
TIME TO LIST SOME MORE OF MY VINYL RECORDS AS I'M UNFORTUNATELY RUNNING OUT OF SPACE IN THE HOUSE.
I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING VINYL RECORDS SINCE 1970 AND HAVE OVER 3,000 LP'S AND SINGLES. ALL HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY PLAYED ON A HIGH END SYSTEM, MOST HAVE BEEN STORED IN PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVES IN RECORD BOXES/MDF ICUBES AWAY FROM ANY HEAT AND IN A SMOKE FREE HOUSE. (NOT IN THE LOFT)
EVERY NOW AND THEN I LIST SOME RECORDS WHICH I HAVE DUPLICATES OF OR RARELY PLAY TO FUND MY BUYING OF OTHER RECORDS.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I FULLY PLAY GRADE ALL MY LISTINGS THROUGH HEADPHONES AND GIVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF THE VINYL, COVER AND PLAYBACK USING THE RECORD COLLECTORS GUIDE 2014. I NEVER USE MINT CONDITION EXCEPT FOR ON A SEALED BRAND NEW RECORD.
PLEASE BID WITH CONFIDENCE, I HAVE BEEN BUYING AND SELLING RECORDS ON EBAY SINCE 2006 AND HAVE 100% FEEDBACK.
