I HOPE YOU ENJOY READING THIS LITTLE LOT, IT'S A TERRIFIC COLLECTION. A LOT OF THESE RECORDS ARE DESCRIBED AS HAVING MARKS BUT A LOT OF THAT IS DUE TO SLEEVE REMOVAL BY THE LOOK OF IT, I.E. REMOVING THE RECORDS FROM CARDBOARD SLEEVES NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE GRADED THESE VERY CAREFULLY AND EXTREMELY HONESTLY, AND THEY ARE ALL GRADED ACCORDING TO BOTH PLAY GRADE AND VISUALLY - SO IF A RECORD LOOKS LIKE IT'S WELL WORN BUT PLAYS MINT - I CAN'T GRADE IT AS MINT, SO PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTIONS CAREFULLY.
I WOULD HONESTLY PREFER PAYMENT BY BANK TRANSFER WITH THESE AS I DON'T REALLY WANT TO PUT THEM THROUGH ON MY CREDIT CARD MACHINE DUE TO THE PERCENTAGE THAT THEY TAKE OFF ME, BUT WILL DO IF THERE'S NO OTHER WAY. AGAIN, I WILL TAKE PAYPAL BUT THE FEES WILL HAVE TO GO ON TOP, SORRY.
POSTAGE IS FREE OVER £100.
UNDER £100 IT'S £1.80 RECORDED OR £5.50 SPECIAL.
