A  KIND NOTE FOR UK BIDDERS. I WILL SOON BE LOSING MY TOP SELLER STATUS THANKS TO THREE BUYERS IN 12 MONTHS WHO FOR SOME INEXPLICABLE REASON GAVE ME LESS THAN 3 STARS FOR POSTAGE AND PACKING. I SEND MANY ITEMS OUT FOR FREE AND OTHERS AT COST BUT BECAUSE I HAVE TO SEND SIGNED FOR MAIL TO PROTECT MYSELF AGAINST FRAUDSTERS SOME MAY FEEL THIS COST EXCESSIVE. 

I WOULD THEREFORE ASK ANYBODY WHO MISTAKENLY FEELS THIS WAY TO FIRST CHECK THEIR PARCEL AND SEE THE EXACT COST OF THE PACKAGE PRIOR TO LEAVING ANY FEEDBACK. SHOULD THEY THEN STILL FEEL I HAVE OVERCHARGED THEM PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I WILL REFUND THEM IMMEDIATELY . FOR GENERAL INFO WHEN THE COST OF PACKAGING IS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT OVERALL I LOSE MONEY ON THE POST AND PACKING AS I AM SURE MANY OTHER SELLERS DO ALSO. THANK YOU

 A GENUINE 100 PERCENT UK MEGA RARE BOX SET OF THE WEDDING ALBUM !

COLLECTORS WILL KNOW THAT MOST COPIES OF THIS LP ARE FROM EITHER THE USA OR JAPAN AND SO TO FIND A UK BOXED COPY WITH EARLY STAMPERS OF 1R 1A IS VERY RARE INDEED !!!

 THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY RARE FIND IN ANY CONDITION, SO HARD TO FIND A UK COPY - USUALLY THEY JUST HAVE A UK LP IN A SWAPPED NON ORIGINAL BOX. PROBABLY THE ONLY UK WEDDING ALBUM ON HERE AT THE MOMENT AS YOU ONLY SEE ONE OF THESE AROUND ONCE A MONTH AS BEST SO,  - WITH A LOW START AND NO RESERVE THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET ONE  ............GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS

NON UK BUYERS PLEASE NOTE MY COMMENTS REGARDING INTERNATIONAL MAIL BELOW...RETURNS POLICY ONLY APPLICABLE TO UK..RETURNS OUTSIDE UK BUYER WILL HAVE TO COVER ALL POSTAGE COSTSFurthermore international bidders please also note that due to ebays new "buyer protection " policy many sellers now refuse to sell internationally anymore. I am not one of those sellers yer but please note I do now reserve the right to refuse to complete a sale to any international bidder that may have low or bad feedback or for any other reason and this is especially so if the item sells for over GBP 100, like I say this is purely a result of ebay/paypals new policy that make it now even harder for sellers to  trade safely internationally. Please bare this in mind if you win an item but find that it has been offered first instead to a domestic UK Bidder.

FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...   I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being  offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you. 

ALL MY RECORDS ARE USUALLY SOLD ON VISUAL GRADINGS ONLY, THEREFORE, WITH THE SINGULAR EXCEPT ON THOSE RARE OCCASSIONS WHERE I DO STATE THEY HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED, AS ALL DISCS ARE 2ND HAND ANY PLAYING DEFECTS ARE THEREFORE CAVIAT EMPTOR AND SO NON REFUNDABLE. I ONLY REFUND  WHERE AN ACTUAL GRADING OF MINE IS DISPUTED

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DOMESTIC UK RECORDED DELIVERY &GBP 3.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND GBP 4.99 FOR A DOUBLE LP, INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE SEE MY NOTE BELOW.

(Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint  I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )

INSURANCE INCLUDED IN P&P PRICE DEPENDING ON FINAL SALE VALUE...

Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.

                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (EBAY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO BE READ,

….COST VIA INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL TO EUROPE FOR A SINGLE LP IS USUALLY GBP 9.99 AND TO THE USA/REST OF THE WORLD GBP 13.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND 16.99 FOR A DOUBLE... 

 Happy bidding CHECK OUT MY OTHER ITEMS!
