BACKGROUND
.... We are very experienced and well respected record dealers who have stood at all the major Record Fairs in the UK and Europe over the last 25 years. Some of you will know us by our trade name of "Fine'ol Vinyl" but I am sure far more of you will recognise us better as just Neil & Sue. We pride ourselves in the fact that most of our customers consider us to hold one of the best selection's of rare original vinyl available anywhere in Europe!. We have been slow to use the inter-net as we have enjoyed meeting our customers face to face and letting our buyers see exactly what they are buying. For many years now we have been saving all the rare and top condition items that we have found and jokingly refer to them as our 'retirement fund'. We have long been aware that the supply of rare records is steadily drying up! as you know yourself how hard it is to track down top quality rare items, and as such the time now seems right to begin auctioning some of these top collectables.. Please be assured we will describe all our items as accurately as possible as we want you to be pleased with your purchase. We also would want you to come back to us again and again during the coming years. Please look at our feedback for confirmation of our standards. As we are fanatical collectors ourselves we understand the needs and standards required by record collectors and as such will give you all the relevant information ie label's, maitrix No's and condition etc. but without all the unnecessary "waffle" so common on ebay these day's! .... So please bid with confidence and piece of mind as we fully understand that any business depends and survives totally on customer satisfaction! .............. .
... We also offer a full money back guarantee on all goods returned in the same condition as when dispatched minus postage costs so you can bid with confidence and complete piece of mind!..
... We are also commended for our secure and safe packaging! ie. record and sleeves packed separately in PVC covers together with multiple cardboard stiffner's and only use the BEST! quality materials as supplied to us by :- COVERS 33 ( 01-422 - 822679 )
....... Thank You for taking the time!. ...... Neil & Sue. ( VINYLSUE & FINE-OL-VINYL )
PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS
... We would prefer buyer's in the UK not to use Pay-Pal because of the fee's involved. We accept UK and US cash, cheques and postal orders. We also accept Euro notes!
£1 = $1.80 or Euro's 1.50 .

... Ammendment! Monday 27 / June ..... To the interested party's .. Because of the amount of Interest and euphoria this L.P. seems to have created judging by the number of Emails we've received and the number of watchers! we have given this L.P. even more close scrutiny with special attention to the vinyl and the labels and with Sue's expert eye and judgement in tow, we have to state that my photographic skill's are very limited and that my pictures of the vinyl and the labels DO NOT IN ANY WAY DO JUSTICE to the actual record! and if anyone would like a close up picture of the label's just email a request, as unlike my pictures - my computer skills are getting a little better! Anyway, we guarantee that whoever wins this "STUNNING" L.P. will be extremely happy with it!!! Neil On 29-Jun-05 at 19:54:57 BST, seller added the following information:

Thanks again for your interest! Neil & Sue.
