BBC Transcription Disc Life With The Lyons 87/88

This is a rare BBC Transcription Disc, that I bought it about 10 years ago.

This programme was unusual in that it featured a real-life American family. Ben Lyon and his wife Bebe Daniels settled in London during the Second World War and featured with the comedian Vic Oliver in the radio series Hi, Gang! that ran from 1940 to 1949. Life With the Lyons followed on from this and, together with Ben and Bebe, featured their children Richard and Barbara Lyon. Although scripted, it expanded on real-life events (but it was definitely not reality television).This is a two 10" disc set, with half a show on each side of each disc, allowing the show to be prepared over two turntables for continuous broadcast.  The expiry date is 25.10.62.   These are in mint condition and has only been played by myself a couple of times, and I suspect only half a dozen times at most ever.   The two shows are titled: The Scroungers and This Was Your Wife, and the image shown is of a previous auction but as all the discs look similar and the light is poor due to rain, I am not holding back on listing until I can take new photos.

I am reluctantly thinning my collection due to running out of space, moving house, and trying to pay to decorate the new house - and this is one of many that I will be listing on ebay over the coming months.  Please read the following before bidding. 

As ebay 'improve' their service to a more structured format, some bidders make assumptions about an auction, so please read the following so you know what to expect from me.

Notes about postage:
I am based in the UK and the photo will be sent from there.
The postage costs are determined after the auction closes and depend on the service required and the final value of the item - I won't send unless it is covered by insurance.
My rate for one disc sent by standard UK recorded delivery is £4.50 with items shipped in record mailers, and are covered by Royal Mail insurance up to £39. 
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MAY BE A LITTLE MORE THAN THE ONE DISC RATE BEING TWO EP SIZED DISCS!
For final values over £39, the only insured option is by Special Delivery and this is approximately £8.00 in the mailer, and insurance covers up to £500
I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE.  For overseas shipping, the cost varies on destination but only send by a tracked service.  If you are interested, please contact me in advance so I can advise on a cost.

**** I am happy to combine lots to save on the postage.  Perversely, it works out cheaper to send a dozen in the UK than 2 or 3! ****

If you are unhappy with the postage costs, please do not bid.

Notes for after the auction closes:
After the close of the auction I will send out an invoice and appreciate payment within 2 working days.  One reminder will be sent if payment is not received, and if there is still no payment I will go through the ebay claim procedure.   Much as I would like to chat via email afterwards, this is generally not possible due to the large amount of photos I sell at a time, and I prefer to concentrate on answering questions about live auctions and getting the items shipped as quickly as possible once they sell.   If you make a payment instantly it may well be the first you hear from me is the disc arriving through your post box.   Please be assured this is not me being rude, just trying to be efficient!   Due to work pressures currently I can only send out items of a weekend.  This may delay your goods depending on when the auction closes and when payment is made.
