Hi Folks,

Just a quick note seeking advice / guidance on the best way to secure those harder to find, bigger ticket-type 'wants' via SS.

Is it best to try and list around half a dozen or so at once (to improve my chances of success) or just focus on one at a time?

I can only afford to fund one record at a time so don't want to be seen as a time waster or end up in the enviable (but sadly unaffordable) position of being lucky enough to be offered potentially a couple of tunes at once and having to politely decline those I can't immediately afford.

Are there any accepted approaches in such a situation? Or, can those that have used either or both approaches suggest what's most acceptable and what's been most successful?

Also, is it advisable (or indeed acceptable) to stipulate minimum gradings?

Is it wise to indicate the price range I'd contemplate paying based on grades (so as not to waste anyone's time)?

Any opinion you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Chris

I'd guess as long as you stated in the initial post that you are lookin for 6, but can only afford 1. Then nobody is going to be annoyed if you have already managed to settle on a deal.

you can give me a e-mail with any ,as many as you want

I usually post one at a time and hope for the best...it doesn't take long for someone to get back to you. Always thought this was easier on the pocket....some folk do more.

A request asking for price and condition in your post is in my experience the best way to go... also ask the seller if your not happy with the condition can you have a refund...I've never had problems asking this...it's better putting this accross at the start as it saves any confusion.

Many thanks for your advice.

I'll take on board your comments prior to deciding which approach to take.

Kind regards
