Description

Selling-up my large record collection.
As I'm supposed to be moving these along, here's a bundle-job, of Joni Mitchell albums. Condition varies, so seriously cheap.A lot of good listening left in these.
Pictures are my own photos of the items for sale. Photos are part of the description, have a good look. 
Ladies of the Canyon. Cover says made in Germany, so not UK first issue.
Cover - is good, a few creases and light scoring. Still nice original creamy-white colour.
Record - side one has two tiny surface marks / stains on track 2, and there's a bouncing heavy fingernail-type impact starting at the end of track 4 and crossing tracks 5 and 6. Also a tiniest impact near the end of track 3. Side two has a small impact at the end of track 4, and several very light scratches along the grooves on track 1
Don Juan's Reckless Daughter - Made in Germany, for Europe generally. 
Cover - is gatefold, generally very good, but tiny bits lost on front from a sticker removal, and substantial creases on the back near the opening. Pair of very good custom inners.
Records - I can't see any damage on sides one and two. Side three has a flat mark on the lead-in going into track1 - could be from heat. A tiny impact near that, too. Side four has just a very small scuff on track 1.
Blue -  Famous album, this is a UK copy.
Cover - gatefold, surface is textured. Sound condition, some tiny creases in from the edges, and stains. Originally, copies of this came with a black inner, this has one, which has splits to both side edges.
Record - side one has a fingernail impact on the lead-in, going into first track, and there's a short scratch at the end of track 2. There's a scratch on the dead wax, just touching into the last track. A tiny impact on track 4, and a short light scratch at the end of track 1 going into the start of track 2. Side two has a scratch on track 2, and a short heavy fingernail impact on track 4. Track 4 also has a short scratch along the grooves.
Joni Mitchell - first album, later UK copy.
Cover - is gatefold, excellent condition.
Record - is quite damaged. Side one has a big scuff from track 2 to track 4, and there's anothe rbig scuff on this side. Various scratches, impacts and marks, including twop heavy fingernail-type impacts, one in track 2 and one across track 2 into track 3. Side two has a big scuff, going from track 2 to the end of the side. and a small flat impact on track 1. A Long heavy fingernail impact, starting in track 1 and extending over to track 5. Heavy scratch on track 3, and some lesser scratches.
Mingus - "Made in England"
Cover - is gaefold, pouch-type. A bit grubby form handling, ring-wear on abck, basically sound
Record - seriously damaged. Side one has nasty long scratches and impacts. Side two has nasty scuffs and scratches.
Court and Spark - a masterpiece - UK copy.
Cover - is gatefold, very sound but slightly grubby from handling, some ring-wear on the back.
Record - generally good - side one has a very small impact on track 1, and a bunch of short light fingernail marks on track 2.  Side two has a small light impact on track 5, and another small heavier one.
When I'm checking for damage on records, I look at them carefully with my reading glasses on, in good daylight. This method detects any bits of damage that will affect what you hear when listening to it - and lots that are not audible. Using a spotlight or direct sunlight shows more surfacey marks sometimes, but I don't do that - records are for listening to, not trying to see your face in.
Postage at cost within UK - £3.10 plus 50p for a proper record mailer with two stiffener sheets of cardboard (or whatever's appropriate). Happy to do combined postage wherever practical. I'll charge you what it costs me - so anything up to six (or so) LPs would still be the same charge, £3.60.
I'm happy to send this overseas. See below for details, if bidding from outside UK - YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS STUFF. Dispatch will usually be "next day". Collection in person is welcome.
I don't mail things personally, to countries outside the UK - ( I mean it, don't ask) - but I am happy to use E-Bay UK's Global Shipping Program, for sending things abroad. Under this scheme, I send the parcel to an e-bay depot in UK, and they forward it to the overseas buyer. They have a tracked courier service, for the journey from their UK depot, to the buyer. This means that I can ONLY accept payments through e-bay (Pay Now button), and I can't send invoices. 
E-Bay UK tells me, they do NOT do combined postage in the Global Shipping Programme. Charges to the customer for delivery and customs charges are whatever you're told they are - if you don't want to pay the postal / courier charges individually for the items, then do not bid. HOWEVER, if you win several items, and pay for them all in the same payment, their system may well spot this and do combined postage. If this happens, pay what you're told, and I will refund the excess postage paid to me - if you buy three LPs, I would be getting three lots of £3.50, but I can send all in one parcel, so I only need one lot of £3.50, usually. The exception is, if the items you buy weigh more than 2 kilos altogether, I need to make two parcels - there is a special cheap postage rate in UK, for parcels under 2 kilos.  Overseas customers - please DON'T request an invoice - I can't make one, and it screws-up the e-bay system.
International buyers should be able to see a postage cost to their country, you may have to input your location, if your country is included in the scheme. If your country is not mentioned, please do not bid. International postage to the following countries will be shown (this is the latest list that I've seen - lotta countries!) Australia Austria Belgium Bulgaria Canada Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Ireland Israel Italy Japan Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands New Zealand Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand Turkey Norway Poland Portugal Romania Russia Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden, United States, Antigua & Barbuda Aruba Bangladesh Barbados Belize Bermuda Bolivia Brunei Darussalam Cambodia Cayman Islands Dominica Ecuador Egypt French Guiana Gibraltar Grenada Guadeloupe Guernsey Iceland Jersey Jordan Liechtenstein Macau Maldives Martinique Monaco Montserrat Nicaragua Oman Pakistan Paraguay Peru Reunion Saint Kitts & Nevis Saint Lucia Sri Lanka and Turks & Caicos Islands Applicable customs charges will probably be shown to buyers in non-EU countries - E-Bay collects customs duty for the receiving country, wherever import duty is appropriate. If you don't want to pay the customs charges, do not bid.
I don't send to China (because I prefer not to), and I also don't send to Japan, Brazil, Ecuador and Peru, as importation of vinyl records is not permitted in their customs regulations.
