eBay My World: rainbowjam( 18552)

Collecting records has always been a passion of mine. While I listen to music on a variety of formats, I'm still a vinyl junkie. I've been dealing in vinyl since 1988 and collecting for far longer. My own collection takes in a wide range of genres and is constantly expanding. These days I sell a lot of CDs and DVDs (as there is such a large market for them) so these do form the bread and butter of my business. There are certainly some great titles on CD with bonus and previously unreleased material regularly turning up along with collections and reissues by artists who are long-forgotten by most of the population. So I'm not averse to owning CDs but records are where I started out and where my real interest lies. Obviously the better the condition, the happier I am.

I've been trading in CDs and records since 1988 and have hundreds of different titles in stock. Most of my CDs are just £4.99. I also sell DVDs and videos, music memorabilia, books, jigsaws, toys and games. All my items are available for sale worldwide with competitive prices and realistic postage rates. I give a fast, reliable and friendly service and have new stock arriving all the time. Items listed in my eBay shop are just the tip of the iceberg. I have hundreds more items in stock, particularly CDs and records of all types. If you are looking for anything in particular, please email me. If it's in stock, I can list it as a Buy-It-Now for you to purchase through eBay.

All buyers will receive an end-of-auction email containing full payment details. Payment must be received within 10 days of auction close. I accept payment IN GBP ONLY by Paypal, UK cheques and postal orders. I make no extra charge for Paypal payments. I also accept Direct Bank Transfer (in Euros) and international money orders IN GBP ONLY. Please do not send international money orders in foreign currency as the exchange costs are far too high at this end.

Worldwide postage costs are listed in all item descriptions. Buyers from outside the UK, please add an extra £3.50 if you require International Signed For - compensation up to £36 (or £5.70 for compensation up to £500). Non-UK buyers will be quoted for Airmail but can select Surface Mail by request. However, please be aware that Surface Mail, while cheaper, can take as long as 12 weeks to arrive. All items are shipped within 2 working days of payment unless funds need to clear in which case they are shipped on clearance. For Get-It-Fast option, postage is within 1 working day.

If you need to return an item, please notify me within 14 days of receipt. All my items come with a full money back guarantee, including postage, if not matching the item description. For returns of non-faulty items, return postage is at the buyer's expense. Please email me with any questions or problems. I always respond quickly and remedy any errors.

Please use the Contact Member link on my feedback page.

I send all my items with adequate and secure packaging and post within 2 working days of receipt of payment (unless funds need to clear, in which case they will be posted on clearance). If you select the Get-It-Fast option, postage will be within 1 working day of receipt of payment. I offer Recorded, Special Delivery and International Signed For options on postage. Recorded Delivery offers compensation up to £36; Special Delivery offers compensation up to £500. When you receive your item, please check that you are happy with it and then, if you would like, please leave me positive feedback. Once I know that you are satisfied with your purchase and the sale is completed, I will leave positive feedback for you. If, for any reason, you are not 100% happy with your purchase, please email me before leaving feedback so that I can resolve the problem for you. I offer a full money-back guarantee, including postage costs, if any item is not as described subject to return of the item.

When I started selling, CDs were still relatively new, and my entire stock was vinyl. Now I still have a huge stock of vinyl and am selling more and more in my ebay shop. I'd love to be able to grade every record I list as Mint but real life isn't like that! I aim to describe every record's condition as accurately as I want when I'm the buyer. If I grade a record as Mint then that's what you can expect but if it's not Mint then I'll say so and it'll also be priced accordingly. Have a look at Record Collector Magazine's grading guide which is the standard guide in the UK and is listed in full in my Vinyl Grading guide in the left panel; from this you can see that EX and VG should still be totally acceptable to listen to and even Good shouldn't mean completely Bad! If Mint is what you want then a record described as Mint should be indistinguishable from brand new; the older the record, the harder it'll be to find. There are a lot less Mint records than many people would have you believe.
