Description
Selling-up my extensive record collection. Lots of interesting records in the collection - do have a look at my other items, and there are new listings every week. I may have obscure things that you didn't even know you wanted!
I bought this new, when this release of the box set came out in 2012. 180-gm coloured vinyl, records all different colours. I only ever listened to the first disk, and the set has been kept with care, in a record cabinet, ever since - looks very much like new! The hyper-observant viewer might notice that the cover mentions a booklet - in fact this edition doesn't include one, they've used the cover design of previous editions. Does include an ugly poster, though.
Pictures are my own photos of the items for sale. Photos are part of the description, have a good look.
Box, sleeves - Clamshell box is in excellent condition - ripples down one side of the lid, probably made that way. Individual sleeves for each of the 5 records, each having info about the record. These are in excellent condition.
Records - Condition is generally undamaged. Records are each a different colour, as shown in the photos. At first sight, they look like flat colour, but in fact, marbled / swirly if seen against the light (kinda pretty..). These are not the best example of the record-manufacturer's art - in particular, there are black bits in some of the records, which cause little problems if they're at the surface of the record. Specifically - Disk one looks fine. Disk two has two black specks - which stand up a little from the surface - in track 4, and there's a tiny speck or hole in track 2. Disk three has a flat surface impact of some sort, on track 2. Disk four side one has a flaw in the surface of the record due to a streak in the vinyl, on track 1, and going slightly into track 2. On side two, rather similarly, there's a short flaw on track 1, and little marks on track 5, due to streaks. Disk five Side one has a surface mark on track 1, due to a streak. On side two, several small points where playing surface is interrupted by swirls. There is damage on tracks 4 and 5 - looks like a sharp impact or two, maybe a fault in the pressing, as I don't remember ever even taking this out of its sleeve!
Listing faults on a 5-record set creates a long list, but only a few tracks affected, out of many in the set (72, if I counted right), and some flaws mentioned may not affect the audio you hear.
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 - £3.00 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, £3.50. 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.
