WELCOME TO MY AUCTION, TIME TO LIST SOME MORE EXCELLENT RECORDS SO KEEP A LOOK OUT FOR MY OTHER LISTINGS.

I HAVE BEEN A VINYL COLLECTOR SINCE 1970 AND HAVE ABOUT 3,000 ALBUMS, ALL ARE WELL LOOKED AFTER AND LOVINGLY PLAYED.
HOWEVER I'M NOW RUNNING OUT OF ROOM IN THE HOUSE SO TIME TO LIST SOME OF MY DUPLICATE COPIES OR ONES I RARELY PLAY. THEY HAVE ALL BEEN STORED IN RECORD BOXES SINCE PURCHASE, SOME IN POLYTHENE OUTER SLEEVES AND AWAY FROM HEAT AND SUNLIGHT.

ALL MY LISTED RECORDS ARE FULLY PLAY GRADED ON A HIGH END SYSTEM THROUGH HEADPHONES ON LOUD VOLUME AS WELL, SO PLEASE BID IN CONFIDENCE. I NEVER BUY RECORDS FROM EBAY ON VISUAL GRADINGS ALONE SO WHY SHOULD YOU! GRADED USING THE RECORD COLLECTORS GUIDE 2014.
I OFFER A FULL REFUND IF BY ANY CHANCE YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THE PURCHASE BUT PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST BEFORE LEAVING NEGETIVE FEEDBACK. I ALWAYS LEAVE THE BUYER POSITIVE FEEDBACK BEFORE POSTING THE RECORD, PLEASE DO THE SAME FOR ME ONCE YOU HAVE RECEIVED IT SAFELY AND ARE HAPPY.
