Regular classical collectors willrecognise my name as a consistent seller.

I only hold occasional auctions, but this guarantees a diverse, thoughtful, rare and collectable collection, atprices that are significantly lower than the EBay ‘shops’ !

This particular collection is aimed at the serious collector. Look out for a very large amount of violin & piano pieces, together with a selection of early stereo recordings, including a good number of serious First Editions & TAS-listed items.

Additionally, there are a number of 78rpm 10” & 12” - recordings by the likes of Kreisler, Neveu, Haendel, Elman & Heifetz.

All starting prices are exceptionally low, designed to guarantee early bidding.

Please compare my starting prices to similar items on Ebay – condition is the same - I am merely ensuring that my starting prices are the lowest

All postage are rates set at ‘cost’ ??

CONDITION GRADINGS

My descriptions are logical, simpleand straightforward, as outlined – below.                                                         If a record is virtually flawless, it is near mint. If it has visible, but surface-only / inaudible blemishes,           then it is excellent. Any item with moresubstantial marks and/or clear obvious disruption is Very Good+

Please rest-assured that all significantly visible marks are sound-checked and described accurately.

I try to keep my gradings as simpleas possible. Nothing will be ‘mint’ because all these recordings are pre-owned.No vinyl graded below Very Good+ will be listed.

However, using an alternative international courier –

30 x LP’s equate to around £40.00 (£1.30 / LP)

Box-sets are listed with their specific, packaged weight, due to the variation in weights and the size of accompanying libretto ?
