I confirm that I have received my parcel with
all records in fine shape and as usual a little better than announced. I take
this opportunity to thank you for your more than fair bid adjustments from which
I sometimes benefit and that do not go unnoticed. In this world, generosity and
kindness are too rare not to be reported and thanked for. My very best regards.
God bless you. - Rémy Mayor, 5 February 2007 (Switzerland)
Just wanted to tell you I received the Gemini
Pre-Amp on Friday and hooked it up. The unit is great - the fidelity,
clarity and depth are amazing! I wish I had all the records back that I had over
the years to re-record all of them again. The unit looks great as well, and the
distortion level is very low. Also the low cut feature is nice and much needed.

Thanks
for the painting "Enrico!" - it is absolutely
gorgeous !!!! Arrived safely, as your items always do. After we get it framed,
we'll gather some historic recording artifacts and have a special display event
in the summer. Don Schneider, The Movie Museum, 17 January 2007

The records arrived and Lot 10520 and its box
looked new; I am extremely happy with this record. You are one of the few people
I trust to buy records from sight unseen. The other record does have light mold,
but most people would not even have noticed it. You must use a bright light to
grade your records. I have always found your service and records to be
outstanding and I like the way your auctions work. Best wishes! - Steve

When I got the package it was very severely
damaged on the sides! 
(This face really seemed to mirror mine when I saw the damage done!!) Looking it
over on the outside I really thought Brunswick 4597 "Icky" that I
waited literally YEARS for, was in pieces. I almost winced opening it up! I
really thought there is NO WAY that record survived intact! I must say the
packing job was excellent (as usual). Here's me once I opened the box and looked
the records over: 
All were in fine shape. Please share this with the packing crew: Great Job! - Charles

Happy
Holidays you all! I just wanted to write and say my shipment of records arrived
today just perfect. The records I get from your auctions always exceed my
expectations and are a welcomed addition to my huge record collection. I always
seem to snag a few records from every auction that I have looked for, for years.
East Tennessee has never been a record collector's paradise. Thank you very much
for my wonderful Christmas gift. - George Kiley, 19 December 2007

WOW! I just got the Rondine Jr. turntable
Tuesday. It was great! Every record played a grade higher; at least some V-'s I
could enjoy and the E's were much clearer and of course no background noise from
my old clunker. Many thanks. - Ray Hadley, 23 November 2007 (California)
I have just received your Rondine Jr. turntable.
Although this is your entry level turntable, I find it to be a cut above
any turntable that I have every owned. I look forward to listening to all the
oldies in my collection! - John Foster, 13 August 2007 (Canada)
My
family and friends are all amazed at the recording you transferred to CD for us.
I had forgotten about the poem that my Dad recites on the second half of the two
minute wax cylinder. It is the only recording we have of him until we got a tape
recorder in the later 1960s. And my performance of "The Animal Fair"
is the only recording of my voice before it changed as a teenager. My twin
teenage sons are fascinated. You gave us all a big spiritual lift. Thank you so
much! - Bruce Whistance, 3 October 2007 (New York)
Received the recent shipment of my auction wins
today and just wanted to let you know that they were worth every penny I paid.
This is probably the best batch of records I ever won at auction, and I've
participated in many. Keep the goodies coming! - KL, 11 June 2005 (Ohio)
Thank
you very much for your help in obtaining the Re-Equalizer. It works
fantastically, and my vertical records sound amazing. Suddenly I can hear things
that were not audible before! - Hakan Widar, 18 April 2005 (Sweden)
The
Disc-O-File record sleeves arrived here this morning all safe and sound. Spring is here at
last so it's a good start to the week! Thank you very much for attending to our
order in the slick manner you have. I know our records will now look that much
better in these sleeves and help to preserve them for years to come. - Alan
Robinson, BBC Broadcast Archive, 14 March 2005 (United Kingdom)
Just a note to thank you for the shipment of
unsold [records]. I just can't believe how good they all are. Despite grading,
even in some cases rather low, they all play well and arrived scrupulously clean
- something I much appreciate. To do this for minimum bids is really first
class. I'm really delighted. Cheers and thanks! - Frank Rutter, 25
January 2005 (Canada)
As usual, I was very pleased with my winnings.
I'd also like to say that your bidding protocol has allowed me to enjoy both
auctions and collecting in a way I couldn't even dream of if I had to rely on
the standard bidding method most auctions use. No doubt you've heard this many
times from others, but I needed to state my appreciation nevertheless. Receiving
my twice yearly Nauck auction catalog is an event I look forward to with great
enthusiasm. - Bryan Case, 24 June 2004 (Washington)
Your WONDERFUL box of five carefully preserved
(empty) Decca albums plus 250 sleeves
arrived home. I'm DELIGHTED, and as always happens with
Nauck's Vintage Records & Resources, things are much better
than expected. Many
thanks for being so kind and patient sellers, and also for being so
serious and reliable when describing the condition of things you sell.
They're always in better condition than expected, as your
rules to assign condition levels to items
are much more restrictive than others'. Please, stay always in this line. It makes you so
reliable, that at the end one always ends
buying things from you. - Iñigo Cubillo, 27 Jan 2004 (Spain)
I received
records which I won from your last auction today. I am really satisfied with
them in the exact condition as you mentioned on the list, and appreciate you for
very safe packing. - Izumi Kinoshita, 19 Jan 2004 (Japan)
Just to let you know that my auction wins
arrived safely in the UK. Condition exactly
as described, great records and superlative packaging. Who could
ask for more? Many thanks! - Richard
Warner, 19 Jan 2004 (United Kingdom)
If I haven't commented
on this already, I'd like to say I greatly appreciate the way you handle your
auctions, i.e. paying the minimum bid if you're the only bidder, etc. It
makes bargains not only possible, but surprisingly likely! - Randy Stewart,
26 Jun 2003 (Missouri)
I just wanted to say
that I received my auction records, perfectly shipped, as you always do! I
must say that one of my winnings - a Pathé of Titta Ruffo recorded in 1904 - is
one of the most beautiful discs that I have the honor of owning. Not only
is the disc in wonderful condition, but the performance is perhaps one of the
greatest that I have ever heard. - Seth Lubin, 20 Jun 2003 (New Jersey)
I'm still
extraordinarily happy with the Murray II I bought from you a
couple of years ago. That's one of the best things I ever did for my
collection. And the Edisons sound so good on it. - Mike Leone, 21
Mar 2003 (Texas)
You guys are the
greatest. My life stops when your booklet arrives. It's one of the true joys in
life and I appreciate it; thanks again! - Dean Opperman, 20 Mar 2003

That package with all
the non-sleeve items just arrived this afternoon. You guys have the best
packing procedures on the planet. Everything arrived 100% intact as usual.
Thanks. - Susan Stinson; Belfer Archive, Syracuse Univ., 3 Feb 2003

I agree, the new
sleeves are the best I have ever used. Sturdy, well-designed, easy to use and
they go neatly on your shelf. - Dennis Hardwick, 25 Jan 2003 (Indiana)
The records arrived a
couple of days ago and as usual in very good shape. Wish other dealers were as
conscientious as you are! - Göran Söderwall, 20 Jan 2003 (Sweden)
I received the records
yesterday...Fantastic...Awesome! Keep up the great work. I can't wait 'till the
next auction!! - David Morales, 19 Jan 2003 (Massachusetts)
Hi Kurt - the Disc-O-Files
arrived today, and they are great. Any serious collector should invest in these
sleeves, and they would be ideal for museums! These are the best designed
sleeves I have ever seen; if they were your idea, I compliment you. I have
probably handled as many records as you have in my lifetime, and I have some
serious trepidations about flimsy sleeves, sleeves with seams on the outside,
and with albums.....My original intention was to re-sleeve the records that I
value the most. Having seen what you have done, I will probably re-sleeve
every record I own. - John Bolig, 10 Jan 2003 (Delaware)
The
turntable arrived two days ago (!) and I installed it yesterday. It sounds and
works great, much better than the Thorens TD-170 that it is replacing. - Paul
Garon, 8 Jan 2003 (Illinois)
I just received my
records today. Very pleased! It is amazing how loud Victor Scroll discs are when
they are in very good condition! Two of those Bennie Moten records are the
nicest and best sounding records in my collection now. - Tom Edwards, 4
Jan 2003 (Texas)
Thanks! The Esoteric Sound Re-Equalizer
is amazing. It's like hearing my 78s for the first time. - John A. Potwora,
11 Dec 2002 (Ohio)
Beautiful records, beautifully presented, as
always, Best. - Rob Rothberg, 21 Nov 2002 (New Jersey)
Hey Kurt, these Disc-O-Files are nice! Is this
your own design? I've never seen a sleeve like it. I like the imprint, and
especially the two little cutouts which allow one to open up the sleeve but
still keep all of the record clean, instead of all those dusty arcs at the top
of the records. Bravo! This will also discourage people from grabbing the
records by that exposed place, thus getting greasy kids stuff all over them, and
running the risk of breakage because they're grabbing too close to the edge.
Better to get your entire hand further in and spread your fingers, tipping the
sleeve so the record slides out nicely onto the fingers which grab the label!
Hurray! - Lee Munsick, 8 Nov 2002 (New Jersey)
The Esoteric Sound Re-Equalizer
is the best piece of sound equipment I have ever purchased in over forty years
of record collecting! - Darrell Baker, 3 Nov 2002 (California)
Many
thanks: the package of Billy Williams records finally arrived safe and sound,
and I am extremely pleased with their condition. In fact, all the records I have
received from you are in far better condition than many of the records I buy at
record fairs. - Howard Martin, 5 Sep 2002 (United
Kingdom)
I
have taken part in several auctions and I think that yours is the best. I
especially like the limit you impose so that a person can own an item without
bidding the moon. You run a great auction; extremely honest with courtesy and
fast shipping. I'll be bidding EVERY time. - Mike DeFazio, Sr., 26
June 2002 (Connecticut)
I wanted to personally thank you for the
integrity you display in your auction bid pricing. I know I'm not alone in my
praises. I lucked out on two of my selections - why? Because you are kind enough
in allowing me to bid a bit higher on certain selections, knowing you are more
than fair on the final winning bid. Thanks so much! - James Corrado, 14
Jun 2002 (Pennsylvania)
May I express my appreciation of your way of
organizing your splendid Catalogues. They have given me more enjoyment and
pleasure than any others, and I am grateful to you. - Bernard Bury, 8 May
2002 (United Kingdom)
Records arrived and as always, I am most
pleased. I think one of the reasons I so enjoy doing business with you is that I
can tell from the way these records are packed that you know that the value of
these records to the buyer is often far beyond what they actually paid for them.
These two fine Grünfeld discs are priceless additions to my collection. Thanks!
- Rick Robertson, 7 Dec 2001 (Alabama)
I
wish to thank you for the quality of your service. Yes, there are many
auctioneers that have lower minimum bids and records more easily won, but I
personally pay with pleasure the small difference if I receive better service,
as it is with you: correct grading, cleaned records, new sleeves, a superb
catalog and perfect packaging. It is always a pleasure to receive something from
you. - Rodolfo Stiassi, 30 Oct 2000 (Italy)
