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 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 record has only been played a few times and is still in excellent condition, with just a few light marks visible on the playing surface in bright light.  These appear entirely superficial with no adverse affect on playback quality.  On test-playing sound reproduction is first-class and even with a slight warp I cannot detect any discernible deterioration in sound quality.  It's a good quality pressing too; nice and clear and with very little unwanted background noise.  Nevertheless, because of the light marks I have started the auction at just £5.50 for this very collectible album.

Cover Sleeve  |  Very Good
The gate-fold cover sleeve is still in very good condition for its age.  There is a bit of wear to the corners and edges consistent with age, along with some light impressions where someone has used it as a flat surface on which to write a note.  Other than this, there is some very light 'rubbing' wear from storage and a water-stain inside at the bottom of the fold.  But none of these are major flaws.

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.
