Description
WELCOME TO MY AUCTION, MY FIRST LISTINGS SINCE LOCKDOWN. I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING RECORDS SINCE 1970 AND HAVE OVER 3,000 RECORDS.

ALL MY RECORDS HAVE BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER, MY LISTINGS WILL HAVE MULTIPLE PHOTOS TO SHOW THEIR GREAT CONDITION. i HAVE CLEANED ALL THE VINYL WITH ANTI-STAT RECORD CLEANER IN A KNOSTI ANTI-STAT SPIN WHEEL DEVICE, THE CLEANED RECORDS ARE THEN STORED IN BRAND NEW ANTI-STAT RECORD INNERS. THE SLEEVES HAVE ALL BEEN KEPT IN BRAND NEW POLYTHENE 12" SLEEVES IN I-CUBE STORAGE BOXES IN A SMOKE FREE HOME AWAY FROM SUNLIGHT.
I FULLY PLAY TEST MY RECORDS ON A HIGH END SYSTEM BEFORE LISTING.
PLEASE NOTE ALL RECORDS WILL BE SENT OUT IN WELL STIFFENED BOXED MAILERS TO PREVENT ANY DAMAGE IN THE POST. I HAVE OVER 3,400 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK SO HAVE 10 YEARS EXPERIENCE OF SELLING RECORDS ON EBAY. PLEASE LOOK OUT FOR MY FURTHER LISTINGS, MORE CLASSIC RECORDS TO BE ADDED SOON.
