My Notice Board
 
Two things please
 
For you guys visiting my auctions regularly: This is my last eBay.co.uk auction and I will only be listing here from now on just a handful of items
The reason: I’ve decided to make space for eBay’s newly created “Top Rated Sellers” as I seriously lack myself, both the ambition & the drive to aspire to such splendour
I will therefore be listing on a less demanding environment e.g. eBay Canada &/or eBay France and looking forward to eBay Zimbabwe next! See you there
 
The other joke now: A ‘Positive’ feedback without a 5 star tick is as punitive as a Negative (simple as that) and I don’t mind what you do (it’s your business), as long as you know – Thank you
 

SKULL SNAPS – “SKULL SNAPS” LP
 
Nearly all items start at £7/9.99 with No Reserve (no matter how rare) and my descriptions are economic in their wording & limited to the essentials.
I hardly use phrasing such as “awesome” coupled with thousands of exclamation marks as a matter of self-respect. Please rely on my feedback for a proper grading & don’t hesitate to email any questions you may have.

GRADING
All records are originals except when noted. Record is graded first, then the cover.
For grading purposes I use the British Record Collector's grading scale (needless to detail on this one as it's known to all collectors) with occasionally (+) or (-) signs to denote the in-between conditions.

Generally speaking:
- a MINT (M) or NEAR MINT (M-) grade will give full satisfaction
- an EXCELLENT (EX) grade is always a shiny vinyl with possibly a faint mark or two, ONLY seen under a strong light and NOT affecting performance; in most cases NM and EX are pretty close) 
- a VG+ or even a VG (Very Good) grade is always a shiny vinyl with some light surface marks & will give an enjoyable performance with no skips, pops or unpleasant surface noise.
Same logic applies to the cover's grade.
I do not list records at an inferior grade unless they are extremely rare & sought after.

PAYMENT
PAYPAL, UK Personal cheques, UK Postal Money Orders & IMOs (International Money Orders) in £, are all accepted and goods shall be dispatched promptly at no extra charge

FEEDBACK
The current feedback feature is perceived as degrading (for me & for everybody), but I have no other alternative but to live with it. Please use it in a sensitive manner (e.g. 5 star tick) if you can possibly manage
