The Long Awaited LP List - Part 2


Recommended Posts

UPDATE:

PLEASE DISREGARD THIS LISTING - I AM NO LONGER SOLICITING BIDS, MOST OF THESE LPs CAN NOW BE FOUND HERE:

http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...p=0&#entry0

WHERE THEY HAVE A SET PRICE OF $3 EACH, BUY 5 AND IT BECOMES $2 EACH. THE LPs NO LONGER LISTED WILL GO TO EBAY. THANKS TO ALL PARTICIPANTS.

OK, here is the second batch, I've got about 80 more to go so we're a little more than 2/3 of the way through (Note that I pulled all remaining Blue Notes, so if those you are the ones you're interested in ...

Rules are the same as last time:

GRADING:

Grading is cover/vinyl. Did I adhere to strict Goldmine standards? Well I'm not a professional - but I do note the significant defects as an explanation for the grade. In some cases, I referred to covers as "perfect but for ..." because in my opinion an absolutely beautiful cover with, say, a clipped corner is still a helluva nice jacket. I haven't bothered with photos due to the number of LPs being offered but I will post pictures or send them via email if people ask for specifics.

On the vinyl grade - if it is super clean and mark free, I called it NM. A few light scuffs, VG+. More and more scuffs, VG or VG-. For some, I spot-checked the record and may have brought the grade up due to the way it played, or simply made mention that it plays better than it looks. None of the vinyl was cleaned, so vinyl freaks who have a handy-dandy cleaning machine can pretty much bet that its likely that the vinyl is in better shape than it looks.

PRICES:

I'm not going to try and guess what a fair price is to get these to move. Therefore I am inviting offers, with the following provisos:

  • Many of these LPs can be fairly priced at $4 to $10. If you make a fair offer, I am sure to accept. You can even get away with a lower per LP cost by buying more of these types of records.
  • Some of these LPs are surely worth a lot more than $10 (the Workshop Jazz titles, for instance). But I am willing to forgo the time and expense of an eBay auction if reasonable offers are made. I know that vinyl titles here don't necessarily get a lot of response, but this is an opportunity where, for example, an LP that sells on eBay for $40 might get sold for $25 or so. So if you are looking for (relative) bargains, please make fair offers on the nicer, rarer copies. Should these not receive fair offers, off to eBay they will go.
  • There are some Blue Notes in this batch, with others to come. Since I know that these tend to get a response, I reserve the right to wait and see if I get a higher offer. That applies to all titles, but I wanted to be explicit about the BNs.
  • If an offer is made that I think is close enough to my conception of "fair", I may make a counter-proposal.
  • Decisions of the seller are obviously final.

Feel free to ask questions about things like labels or to request photos. Shipping will be quoted. If I am successful with this sale, I'll have to find a source for LP boxes and charge a unit cost for that, as I will surely run out of LP boxes quickly. Unless otherwise noted, Japanese pressings do not include OBIs. Paypal is preferred, check or money orders accepted, and cash is accepted from those few who have expressed such a preference during the Stupendous CD Sale ™.
