The Beatles – Revolver, 1966 mono LP Parlophone PMC 7009,

It is impossible to be an expert in all realms of collecting, and I am honestly representing this item to the best of my knowledge and ability. If the item has a fault then I have mentioned it. I ask that you read the description and examine the photos carefully. I also encourage you to ask any questions you may have during the auction to help clarify identification or condition, as I may inadvertently omit information that you as a collector feel is important.                                                                                                           My email address is oldvan.ebay@btinternet.com

I am not able to provide scans of paper items and I have no facility to record / copy any records.   

CONDITION.  The majority of items that I list are between forty and sixty years old.   Some are older and some may be a few years younger.  I have described the condition of the item in my text but where applicable I have also ticked the 'used' box as even where an item is 'perfect', it is very old and logic says it must have been handled and probably used at some time over the decades!

ALL of my AUCTION ITEMS are now listed with
FREE POSTAGE
IN THE UK.

(They are not actually free to post of course! I have to pay to post them but for UK bidders the price you see at the end of the auction is the total price you pay.  Foreign postal rates are clearly stated).

DELIVERY TIMES.  Although I have ticked the Royal Mail 2nd Class Standard option, please note that some items do go first class and also, although I have also stated that items will go out within two working days, many items go out within 24 hours of being paid for.  Many people in the UK receive their items within 36-48 hours of payment being received.

PACKAGING.    Please note that all of my items are well-packed in thick card or in boxes, and then wrapped in good quality brown paper.   I do not make any separate charge for packaging materials - everything is included in the final price. Many of my feedback comments mention my good packaging and I will of course continue to meet my own standards.

USA BIDDERS PLEASE READ THIS

Since November last year eBay have periodically put up announcements about potential delays with items being mailed to the USA.  So has the Royal Mail.    The Royal Mail website currently has a notice that reads

USA
Start date: 18th November 2010
End date: Ongoing

Update 15th February 2011:

The United States Department of Homeland Security is continuing to require increased security measures for items carried on passenger airlines. As a result, some mail entering the US from around the world, and including the UK, that would normally be sent via passenger aircraft must now travel by other means, including ships and cargo planes.

This - potentially - is a bit of a nightmare.   I know that some sellers have started to block bidders from the USA as some items are taking ages and buyers are naturally enough becoming worried and are opening 'Item Not Received' cases against the sellers.     My own experience is this.        Since late November I have mailed around 200-220 items to the USA.   So far 9 items have been delayed.    Of those, seven have now arrived and I am aware of two that are still in the postal system - either on a boat or at customs or whatever.       A very small percentage - but totally at random and impossible to predict.   

I send all my items by Air Mail, and always within two working days - usually the same day - after receiving payment.      They are well wrapped and the few that have been delayed have always arrived in perfect condition.  I do not want to block USA bidders. Buyers of my items tend to be enthusiasts who are looking for a specific item and tend to be understanding if there is any problem.  If you look at my feedback you will see that I do my job to the best of my ability and have many thousands of happy customers.  I just want buyers to be aware that there is a small chance that there could be a delay that is beyond my control and which is down to the increased security measures brought in after the terrorist alert in November, and to take this into accout before bidding.  

    Payment

UK WINNERS - I still accept and am very happy to receive cheques and postal orders as payment methods, as well as PayPal.
