SXL 6238-41 (4 x LP WBg): VIENNA CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL

	£		70
	$		93

The more seasoned of Ebay’s classical vinyl collectors should remember me. In previous years, I sold a good quantity of classical LP’s, but in recent times I have semi-retired as a seller, concentrating on my ever-growing collection.

However, periodically, I return with a selection of top-quality recordings, listed for sale to reduce the size of my ‘vinyl mountain’ and raise funds to cover a particularly serious / expensive purchase of my own ! 

GRADINGS :- As always, I endeavour to keep things simple, so I will give specific gradings to each recording – these will be very good+ /excellent / near mint or (very occasionally) mint.  Basically, if there is a flaw – I will tell you, and whether it is audible !

I do not get the chance to sound-check every recording, but every visible mark with the potential of being audible IS checked. I believe the quality of my feedback suggests I get this right, and if (very rarely) wrong - my unequivocal refund policy ensures 100% satisfaction. 

POSTAGE :-  I will tell you the exact weight and cost of each and every item, to which I add some 50 pence to cover all the packaging (custom-made sleeves with a minimum of two stiffeners).

I reserve the right to add an additional insurance premium on all items that sell for over £30.00  (upgrading to Recorded Delivery in the UK / AirSure for Europe and International Signed For to the rest of the world). This is added from experience, but guarantees transparency to both sides on the more valuable transactions. I will not despatch items by Surface Mail.

STARTING PRICES :- are always very low (generally 20 – 30% of ‘Book Price’) and I never set a reserve ... part of the fun of EBay is letting the market decide the final price.  

RETURNS :- All this is backed-up by a money-back guarantee (including return postage) if you are not 100% satisfied that the item is as described.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This latest collection contains a high proportion of highly collectable VIOLIN, CELLO and VIOLA works ... these are aimed at the more serious collector. 

There will also be some rare mono recordings (including a high value MARTZY and a FURTWANGLER opera box-set on vintage mono  

I will be listing a total of some 70 recordings ... please continue to watch my listings until they finish in some ten days time, the quality will be consistently high throughout !
