BEAT BEHIND THE DYKES is a Dutch mailorder company established in the late 80´s. I specialize in obscure worldwide 60's (beat, garage, mod, psych, soul etc.) and 70's/80's (punk, mod & powerpop) vinyl. BEAT BEHIND THE DYKES is run by a collector for collectors, so record trading is always encouraged! If you have anything cool to offer (only similiar to what you see here!) then please get in touch! Sending wantlists helps! Lots of records go directly into collections without ever appearing on the website!

GRADING: All records are graded as accurate as possible. If not satisfied with it, a full refund is possible. Grading = record/sleeve. I use the standard grading system, so M (mint), EX (excellent), VG (very good), G (good) etc. +(+)/-(-) = slightly better/worse than .... Some abbreviations that I use: wo(b)c = writing on (back)cover; wol = writing on label; toc/tol = tape on cover/label; rw = ringwear; soc/sol = sticker on cover/label; nc = no center; co(h) = cut out (hole).

AUCTION: All prices are in EURO and are MINIMUM BID PRICES. AUCTION CLOSE = Tuesday March 16, 22.00 hours C.E.T. After auction end all remaining records will be sold SET-SALE at the MINIMUM BID PRICE. Initial bids (only in EURO) must be made in writing, by fax or by e-mail. You can always inquire about your bids by e-mail or by phone. I'll be happy to give you an update on your bids, but please remind me. Don't wait with your bids until the last moment. During the final hours things may become so hectic that I will not be able to assist you. Overbids should be at least with 10%. If you only intend to pay the MINIMUM BID PRICE for an item, it is important to place your order AS SOON AS YOU CAN, as (in case no higher bids will be received) these items will be sold at a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED base. If you still have any questions about the auction, please get in touch.

PAYMENT: Do not send payment before confirmation of your order. You can send your payment with PayPal. A 3.5% fee applies for PayPal payments. Customers from Holland or other EURO countries, please send payment directly into my bank account (ask for IBAN/BIC). Cash in a (registered) letter, only at your own risk. I accept Western Union money transfer, but no I.M.O.'s, bankchecks or other money orders, please. You can pay with your creditcard through PayPal, but I cannot accept creditcard payments directly. Records will be held 3 weeks for Europe and 5 weeks for overseas. After that period reserved records may be sold elsewhere!

POSTAGE: Postage = extra. I'll try to keep the postage costs as low as I can (solid packaging, but no fees for materials, handling etc.). If you want your package to be send registered (you pay for it), please let me know. I take no responsibility for lost packages!
