Or are they just so modern as not to be Considered Original Press??? For example, I have Sizzla Kalonji, Boom and Go Through out of the Original Press Catagory It is From 2001, and yes, it is Original Press Where im from these, however are not considered "Original Press" Whats meant by my Original Press is almost absolutely exclusively Original Press (meaning the first pressing of) From at Least the 80's, although in this changeing time'z say a 93' sealed wailing souls album might be worth calling "Original Press" That's not a Blank, Because that would be considered a Pre- / also its not to preach crap rap but to explain sort of how diffrent people have diffrent condition rateings / theres diffrent standards of how a box should be packed sent, what qualifies as calling Original Press , New, how to deal with customers, how to deal with other Vendors (i buy on here sometimes also) Ill Therefor try to be as extensive as i can and sound as clear and polished as i can although its not neccisarily how i talk... Scroll down to see the list which will consist of records ive set aside, in other words a list assures the permenence of not being how many jelly beans if anything i would like to mention that i think there are a few extras that i will add and that if anything bring it to an even 500 I plan to package it with thin bubble wrap on bottom and top / shipping is free Media, like i said buy it now merrits free shipping anywhere global or interplanitary If at all possible i will send priority within the US as well / any secondary bid would make this easy for me / If not sold i plan on working this over and over with diffrent pictures perhaps in smaller lots at the same price i did originally list this as 400 bone'z thats because i did not have a chance to think this over and it was for a garage sale {there are price tags on ever last record (see photo's) } sleeve's that is not vinyl price tags no moneys worth doing that ! especially crayon!!! no no no/! My catagories are as Follows; & if this works (HTML) i will continue with a complete list Catagory A: Soul 95% rock everything else "Otra" ive called it on my list (all West Indian Press) Probobly even Original Press, if you are willing to consider a first JA Pressing of Easy-E's First single for random example Catagory B:Not mentioning, records that i have bought for $1 or less (even .9 cents!) Catagory C: Extra Valuble / Records that are worth at least $10 and as much as $50 under the right circumstance There only worth what you can sell them for!! Catagory D: Skengdon, I made this catagory because there were 35 Original Press Skengdon records Catagory E: Valuble : Records that were worth at least $5 , but perhaps more and dificult to find/ also the Extra Valuble are hard to find Catagory F: Not West Indies Press, Includes Canadian, American & everything else press, Even a few i think are JA PRess but not sure! Catagory G: Considerable mention Repress/ Includes some Modern Original Press's that are full price/ almost all ex condition these records i have bought wholesale for about a dollar less each than most people pay, average retail price $3 thats because, At the right time & place you might be lucky enough to get a few of them for $1 but most cost me $2-5 I have taken exelent care of them, almost all the wear is the usual wear that even new records can be found to have when closely inspected Catagory H: Lesser Valuble Reggae, Original Press (as discussed about) records worth about $2 at a retail shop Catagory I: $2-5 range, These are original press / this is my first time building catagory's I know it sounds repetative and i hope to make a catagory system that reflects a gradeing system I will try to include my gradeing system and a grade of each and every record, the not mentioning catagorie being only if i get to it/ some of them are great great records, like i said they have been bought cheap & i do not want To be like other sellers i see that are selling 10 cent records for a dollar a peice I have no tricks up my sleeve and am an honest merchant The only reason i have for not giveing out my Distributors company name is that many would bug him then for what i get because we have done buisness for something like 14 years (before that the records where from this comp. without me knowing!) I get records that they dont have time to deal with at a slightly lesser price, so why be envious (Keith Poppins) {pun} By the way this Original Press record is in the lot/ My price is not rediculous these are extreamly rare records Catagorie J: West Indies Pressed, i say this because there are for example some records pressed in barbados Catagory Z (probobly to be removed, read description) : 15 45s that i was listening to as i counted the lot (and glad i had the time to do so) I will test to see if my HTML is working, then i will proceed to make a complete list, it make take a few days, bid when you are ready I will first list the most valuble and work through other catagories as i see fit Probobly, since each record will have a description & Condition, i will First list a Condition's acording to Roadkill Conditions according to Roadkill_The_Conqueror / ex+ :close as mint as I dare list ever, yet alowing for a range of use not punishable by EX brand ex: lightest of wear/ could not ask for more in a used record from the 70's or even 80's at this point ex- :exceptionally clean with minute wear visual mostly vg+ :showing and sounding slightly worn vg :great condition for perment collection /usually hard to find a better copy vg- :showing some hard wear but well taken after and mostly from use not abuse, stamps, graffiti ect. g+ :pretty damn worn but ok for the deserning listener g : still ok but frustrating g- only the finest such as Bob Marley worth the trouble in this condition fair pretty much a goner poor : not worth purchaceing might play if lucky broken : forget it! , actually its your thing so i wont tell you, in fact i have a broken pumpkin belly record i dig hardcore One Last note: I have babylonian Neighbors and that doesnt allow me much listening time with my equiptment therefor gradeings are visual with recolection of how they were like, although i plan on listening to everyone on my headphones if i can in fact im going to set it up right now to listen as i list,,,2ft cord you know!!!? note if your worried about exact value let me finish gradeing every one by the last hour ill have added a note that the listing is absolutely complete my turntable is not excelent & i need a new $8 needle/ right now im finding some new skips & warps so give me time, i am certain however they are worth $995 with some extras to make it an even hundred and free shipping anywhere in the world if it comes to that...give me a little time if unsure sale is guarante'ed , as you all know this is Ebay ...
