My album auctions
I am selling my records to help pay for some essential house repairs. The pictures are of the actual record and I make every effort to describe the condition honestly and accurately. To decide the grade, I use the ‘Record Collector Magazine Grading Guide’ and I play-check every record too. I also won’t sell a record I wouldn’t buy for myself. If you’d like further reassurance please look at some of my feedback J
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Condition
When describing the condition I use the ‘Record Collector Magazine Grading Guide’ and I play-check the album too. I also try to provide good quality large pictures of the album, so you can assess the condition for yourself. The pictures should speak for themselves.
Vinyl | Excellent
The album has only been played a few times and is still in excellent condition, with just a few light surface marks visible in bright daylight. These are superficial however and have no adverse affect on playback quality. On test-playing there is no discernible deterioration in sound quality whatsoever and it's a good quality pressing too, with very little unwanted background noise.
Cover Sleeve | Very Good
The cover sleeve is in very good condition for its age, with no major flaws. There is some wear to the corners and edges, plus a few light creases along-with the usual small edge creases, but this is all consistent with age.

This copy is identifiable as the 1981 French first pressing because it bears the catalogue number BLP 81001, has 'MADE IN FRANCE' on the disc labels and has the 'Imprime en France' record sleeve.
Cat Ref: BLP 81001 is printed on the rear and spine of the record sleeve and as BLP 81.001 on the disc label.

Postage
I take care to package records properly in rigid cardboard, so they should arrive to you in the same condition they were sent.
UK postage for up to 7 discs is just £3.17. This is by Royal Mail Small Parcel, which is the cheapest option. If you would like another service e.g. signed and/or tracked please ask before paying and I will send you an adjusted eBay invoice. I only ever charge at cost with eBay’s 10% commission on top. I do not charge for packaging.
Worldwide postage for 1 album is just £6.00. This is by Royal Mail International Economy, which comes with £20.00 insurance against loss or damage. If you want a different service or if you buy more than one album please choose a postage option from the table below and send me a message. I will then send you an eBay invoice with the adjusted postage cost.
'Standard' delivery is a bit more expensive than economy but only takes 5-7 days for delivery. 'Tracked & Signed' is also 5-7 days but comes with £50.00 insurance instead of £20.00.
The postage rates below are the cheapest I can provide. I do not charge for packaging, only the actual postage cost plus eBay’s 10% commission on top.
