I am having a massive clearout of DVD, CD and Vinyl, all from either my own collection or from 2 recent huge collections that I have recently been lucky to acquire, many of these items are either new and sealed, new and unplayed ( yes this is true neither collectors played or watched anything they bought !!!!)  or are generally in Mint / Near Mint or Excellent condition unless otherwise described.
Any questions please ask and I will always try to ensure satisfaction.
