PACKING: I pack really well. I 'sandwich' the record/s between two thick pieces of cardboard, surround it with packing - scrunched up newspaper and/or bubble-wrap/polystyrene chips - and put it/them in a stout cardboard box. I have been sending records all over the world to regular collectors and dealers for many years. I have never had a breakage.
POSTAGE: I am happy to combine records to cut down the cost of postage. (I can safely mail up to six or even seven 78s for the 'cheaper' small packet postage rate to Europe and the US. Anything above the 2 kilos rate costs about twice as much)
UK STANDARD POSTAGE IS £4 FOR THE FIRST 78, THEN £1 FOR EACH EXTRA
CONTINENTAL EUROPE £ 6 FOR FIRST + £1.25 EACH EXTRA U.S. £ 12 + £2 EXTRAS
CONDITION / GRADING : M = Mint, New. + and - give clearer gradings.
Ex = Excellent - played but few marks & sound great.
VG = Very good, played many times, with scuff/wear & little surface noise
Where there are two conditions given, for example, Ex/VG, it means that the first side is in Excellent condition and the second VG.
Please note that I grade by sound. 78s can look quite beat but still play Ex-
Labels are clean unless stated otherwise or as in photos.
WINNERS : Please send no payment until you hear from me with the total cost.
Cheques/postal orders preferred from UK buyers but Pay-pal OK for Europe and US.
I aim to have 3 ebay listings a year, but issue others occasionally. So, if you would like to know more, please contact rocking78s@btopenworld.com
