This is tough, but she's right and I am at "that age..."
I've tucked away those I cant live without and will be offering the rest through this and other channels over the coming weeks, months, years. As a 'collector' not dealer these are [in all but a few cases] my only copies.
Having been caught out on several occasions by 'generous' graders, I've graded as accurately as possible and 'down-graded' if in doubt.
Generally...
m- means only the slightest of marks if any;
ex means minor marks, soiled label, or slightly compromised sound quality;
vg+ has several marks to vinyl but plays fine, or looks ex but plays with some noise;
...I'll also describe to clarify and add scans/ sounds of particular 45s.
And to make things easy postage to UK addresses is included for orders over £15; under add £1.
Overseas = add £2 for shipping to EC; add £3 for the rest of the world.

I'll check messages/emails and agree sales etc in the order that they arrive.
Cheque or PayPal are fine.
I'm still new to this selling game so please be patient and gentle.
