Greetings everybody!  Thank you very much for stopping by my ebay record listing! I appreciate that you decided to take time out of your busy schedule to stop by and have a look at the goods! Though I have been selling on ebay the past few years, when I have listed records (I do sell other items too!), all my record listings have been strictly auction style. Now and then, when ebay offers a deal on auction style listings, I have even re-run records, auction-style. But there's one way I haven't attempted to sell records here, and that's Buy It Now/Or Best Offer. So I've figured this might be a good way to get some of the 1 or 2 try records listed this way. I'll make sure my listings have the details, and if these are re-runs, I will generally just copy & paste the listing, so I apologize in advance for any sudden case of deja vu. The main difference between these listings will be-less chatter.  For auctions, I want to get a bit detailed, with a bit of history about the record. These buy it now listings will be more bare-boned. I figure those who want it now won't want to wait for an auction to close. It won't be long until I will list records in this format without going through the auction process.  Those are the ones that I think are too popular to auction, so I'll still be strict with my grading and will price competitively, but really aren't things I want to take more time than necessary to get listed. Don't worry, the common as dirt stuff, I don't pick that up anyway.  I have worked in a record store the past 19 years (all records I list on ebay are my own though), and still do.  I encourage communication, for any and all reasons! I hope that I may have something of interest that you might want for yourself. If it's not in great condition-and a lot of stuff I run will be worn, but I feel they are just scarce enough to be a filler piece.  These will be priced accordingly, and yes, there will be "or best offer". For all of you who have been to my listings before, welcome back, it's nice to see you again, and to anyone who hasn't, I bid you greetings!

This time up, I have a 1965 7” 45rpm release on the Dawn Records label, label # 302, by The Five Chancells. This is the single of “Love No One But You” b/w “Please Let Me Love You”. A single that may have been a bit late to the doo-wop party, being in the 60s rather than the 50s, but sounds like the same sound of a decade earlier, as both songs are done acapella! The playing surface has some storage and play wear, as well as needle marks of various shapes and sizes, and this could definitely stand a good, thorough cleaning before playing. Both sides played through without any problem from the needle, though there was some crackling while playing. I think it sounded good enough to earn a notch higher grade, but given the visible marks and my not wanting to be accused of over-grading, I’m docking this a notch and only giving it my slightly less than average grading of E-. That’s my grading though, and my grading is considered non-standard. If you are considering placing a bid, please read the paragraph that follows this one, as it will show you the gradings and their respective descriptions. It won’t take long to read, please do. The labels have some storage wear, abrasions, and staining/discoloration, and there is a bit of red marker at the top of the label on the “Love No One But You” side as well. The text is still clear and very easy to read. If you need more pictures or description, I can and will be happy to provide. If you have any comments or questions, please send them to me, and I will reply as soon as possible.  

My Grading is as follows: M (Mint)-ONLY for Still Factory Sealed Records ONLY! No 45 nor 78 will ever get this grading. E+, minimal wear, perhaps only needs cleaning. E, a few light marks, maybe some minor background crackle and/or hiss. E-, light marks, crackling (nothing major), scuffs, etc.. Not great, but still quite playable. V+, More marks, scuffs, needle marks, scratches-but nothing that would make the needle skip. Will have background noise that even with a cleaning will still be around. V. Worn. Scuffs, scratches, can be noisy, but still (probably) won’t cause the needle to skip nor get stuck. V-, Noisy? You bet! Worn? Oh yeah. Playable? Sure, but don’t expect it to sound all peachy keen. P. Bleah! Playable perhaps, but do so at your own risk. Don’t trash a new needle on it. Only used on records considered rare enough for “fill in” purposes to a collector-or to those who do digital restoration.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NON-U.S. BUYERS!!!!
All items I sell will be sent with postage printed up from eBay. This way, the prices are automatically listed for customs purposes and cannot be altered. Yes, this does mean that the customs people will know the value, but since I get a bit of a price break on postage, I can keep the prices low for you-the buyer.  I will not "mark item as a gift", just so you can evade import rules.  The people at my post office know me, and they will check overseas packages for inspection.  I hope you will understand my position about this, my apologies if you are not able to comply.

Also, international bidders, the price listed for postage on my listings are for domestic mailing.  I wish I could send overseas for that price, but reality speaks different.  I place a fair price on all international postage.  Watch for the invoice if you win.

ALSO-I need to let international bidders know of a certain problem that doesn't always happen, but will arise from time to time.  All International mail sent from this region has to go through the U.S. Postal Service sorting center in Sandston Virginia, by our local airport.  This sorting center has been named the least efficient sorting center in the entire U.S. Postal Service.  They prove this from time to time by mis-routing packages.  If this happens-and I will monitor the delivery-usually it will add at least an extra week for it to arrive.  If there are any problems, please contact me first, and I will do what I must to make sure you are satisfied with the order.
