I have been collecting them elpees for about 20 years. For some 19 and a half I have only been running in record shops in Finland, Sweden, UK, India and so on. I have for the past 3-4 years been surfing on e-bay without getting myself registered. But as I by now have almost everything on UK DECCA and I do not find anything new in the shops, then my only option was to get myself registered on e-bay. I have so far done ony some ten deals there. So far with mixed results, one guy sent me a CD after I paid it through PayPal but I never received the CD. Another elpee that I bought was not as per item discription, but he gave me full refound including my cost for returning the elpee.
But for me e-bay will be the only place to get what I need and I think that in general e-bay is a good place to shop around on.
I'm still looking for Let It Bleed non boxed Mono and Flowers non boxed Mono, then I have all I need.... that is all stereo and mono boxed and non boxed UK elpees around.
By the way, if you like old DECCA's, have a look on our home page and click on DECCA Vinyls...
