45 rpm Record Collection
I will be auctioning this collection of 8000 blues, soul, rhythm and blues,
funk, jazz and gospel 45s over the next year and a half. The first installment
of nearly 2000 items is in my Auction #45 which will appear approximately the 7th of
August, 2010 and close on September 15th, 2010.
Eight pages of preview images of the 45s are viewable by clicking here
The first two pages are some rare pre-war blues 78s that will also be in Auction #45 but the rest of the pages are pictures of the 45s.
I usually do three auctions a year closing in January, May and September. I also
have set price sales selling the unsold items from the previous auction in conjunction
with the next one. The set sales are only on the internet. No hard copy catalog is available.
I give advance notice by email of when, exactly, the set sales will be posted. They are on
a first come, first serve basis, so that way everyone has an equal chance.
The terms of my auction are:
(1) the minimum bid is five dollars.
(2) I reserve the right to decline any bid I feel is unreasonably low.
(3) you bid what the item is worth to you. If yours is the high bid you win it
for that amount.
(4) On items where you have bid two hundred dollars or more I offer call backs
so that if your bid is topped you have the opportunity to compete for the
record until only one bidder remains. Each bidder has a maximum of 24 hours
(to allow for different time zones, jobs, etc.)
to respond however most competitions usually get settled the night the auction
closes.
(5) Payment (by cash, check, Paypal or money order) is expected within 30 days of
the close of the auction. A 2% premium for payment by Paypal is appreciated.
(6) All records are guaranteed. If you are dissatisfied return promptly in condition
received for a full refund including return postage.
(7) My grading scale for the 45s is M-, VG++ (the equivalent of EE+ or E+ in my 78
scale), VG+ (the equivalent of E, E-, V++ and V+ in my 78s scale), VG and VG-.
(8) I have tried to describe label variants that seem relevant, however if the variant
is not specified and it matters to you, contact me and I will tell you which color, font,
design etc. it is.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
