HMV Limerick Puzzle Record - 36 different limericks per side (not mine)
I searched for several years to find this title...

It is, but if I remember correctly, I paid close to $50 for that record without shipping... these are very hard to find and the "ultimate" puzzle record, with two separate bands of grooves per side. It's a truly unique record...

Someone snaffled that quickly - someone on here? Well done if so! I'm glad I have a copy!

I own a forerunner to that Puzzle Record. Mine is Canadian Berliner Puzzle Record #1000 with 3 selections - a "hot" piano solo, a Dan W Quinn song, and a comedy routine by Billy Golden (I think). One of my favorite records in my collection.

Yes quick but what did the seller get ? If the postage cost is £7 as he stated the Ebay fees will be £1.60 so he will get £2.39 what's the point ? it will take 30 minutes to pack safely
And then go the post Office
And buy a decent box to post in ?

Might as well blame him, he got blamed for everything else under the sun...

All international postage is ridiculously high now. Especially stuff sent from the US. One seller quoted me US$30 for a small light item that could fit into a standard envelope and didn't need protective packing (I think it was for half a dozen tiny nuts and bolts). I just don't buy internationally now, except from China that has free postage on many smaller items.
