Greetings,

This week I will be selling off my large personal collection of jazz records.  Many of these records are extremely rare and very hard to find.  I’m sad to part with these gems but I am sure that they will find good homes with people who will love them as much as I have (gee they’re starting to sound like animated objects!)  Some of the labels include:  Verve, Clef, Roost, Atlantic, Argo, Prestige, Pacific, Columbia, Capitol, EmArcy, Mercury, Norgan, RCA, Fantasy and others.  As a fellow record collector, I understand that sound quality is important, so I try to only sell stuff that plays good.  I grade records conservatively and don’t rate anything Mint or Near Mint because those gradings can be highly subjective (My excellent rating is the highest I give and is reserved for top shelf quality items).  I also try to give an accurate and detailed description about the record being auctioned.  Be sure to check out my other auctions for more great deals.  If you need more pictures of an item or if you have any questions please ask and I will respond as soon as possible.  As always, no reserve and low starting bids.  Thanks and have a great one!

For both mine and the buyers safety, if an item exceeds $100.00, I will require insurance.  I will gladly give insurance to anyone else who wants it.  Rest assured that your item will be packed with the upmost care.  I charge 4.50 (not 4.00 as ebay has recently started charging a percentage of shipping costs) for domestic shipping for the first item won and 1.00 for each additional record won (up to 8, then it starts over – this is because I want to make sure that your items are securely packed and I will only be shipping four records per mailer).  I will ship internationally (up to four records) but you will have to wait for a quote – I charge what the post office charges plus 3.00 (to cover packaging and the new ebay shipping charges).
