Ordering
How do I order records ?
When you find a record in the listings that you want to order click the Order Record button, this puts it into an Open Order. You can then return to looking through the lists, and add more records to your order if you wish. Once your vinyl hunger has been satisfied, you can click on the Cart link to return to your Order. All the records you have selected will then be displayed, with the total cost of the Order displayed at the bottom of the page. To place the order, click the Place Order button. The website checks then that it has your delivery address, and allows you to select a payment type. Once you have selected a payment option, click Continue. This takes you to the last page, where if you wish you can add a comment to the Order. Finally click Place Order again.
It is really a very simple system as it walks you through the process...
How do I order more than one copy of a Record ?
The simplest way is to order the record as you would in the normal way, and when you get to the point where you can Add a comment to the order, click it and ask me for the quantity you require!!!
How do I Remove a Record from my Order ?
Click on the Cart link, then click the Remove From Order button under the record you mistakenly think you don't need !!!
What's an Open Order ?
If you have been ordering records while looking through the website, when you click on Cart you'll see an Open Order page with all the records you have ordered listed.

The Search Engine
What can the Search Feature do ?
The Search Feature can search for: Artist, Title, Label & Producer (when available)
The more you type into the search box, the shorter the list of records will be.
A search of this type will show records that are out of stock
Wants List
What's the 'Wants List' feature?
This feature allows you to add any records from the site to a private 'Wants List'
You might want to do this for records you're not ready to order now
It does not mean that you have ordered the records
You can go back to that 'Wants List' anytime you're Logged In and order any of the records.
How can I look at my 'Wants List' ?
Anytime you are 'Logged In' just Click on 'Wants List' and it takes you straight to
your Private 'Wants List' !!!
I Ordered a Record but now its in my 'Wants List' ?
This may happen if you order a record that someone else has ordered just before you !!
The record will automatically go into your wants list and when I get another copy you'll be contacted !!!
Can I take records off my 'Wants List' ?
When you're 'Logged In', go to your wants list and either order from the records listed there
or 'Remove from Wants'
You control your 'Wants List' !!!
How will I know you've found a Record from my 'Wants List'?
When I put records into stock the site tells me whether any are on your wants list
You are then emailed and offered them exclusively for a 72 hour period !!
PLEASE GET BACK TO ME QUICKLY WHETHER YOU WANT THEM OR NOT, THANKS...
Security
Are my Personal Details safe ?
YES !!!
I STORE NONE OF YOUR CREDIT CARD DETAILS ON MY COMPUTER OR WEB SERVER !!!
YOUR PASSWORD IS ONLY VIEWABLE BY ME AND YOU, SO MAKE IT A GOOD ONE !!!
Do you Guarantee your Records ?
I have a money back guarantee if you are not happy with the condition of your records.
Please don't call me six months later though !!! You get the idea !!!
How do you Grade your Records ?
All the records are visually graded, some are listened to...
I grade in this order: vinyl/cover. Grading as follows...
sealed = Sealed copy (Dohh !!)
mint- = Vinyl, this can be a record that was opened by me or looks virtually
Unplayed. Cover should be close to perfect, it may have a cut out or hole.
exc = Vinyl may have some surface marks that shouldn't affect play.
Cover may have some wear, but nothing too bad.
I've decided keep it simple and have only 3 grades, if a record makes it to the
website and is less than Exc you'll read about it in the description of the record !!!
Do you Buy Collections ?
YES PLEASE !!! I love to buy records and trade too.
If you have a collection to sell, contact me and lets talk.
If you want to trade for records on my website then go through the order process
and select trade when you get to payment type, type in what you have,
the condition and anything else you want to say, I'll let you know what I can give in trade.
