Greetings, I am Stan Messmer in California, USA. February 2005 marks the beginning of selling on GEMM. You may have seen me on that E*** auction site where I am known as stanzer1. I have been selling records by mail for several years, specializing in unplayed 45rpm 7-inch records of all types. The one constant of my listings is selling NEW, UNPLAYED 45s. If you are tired of sellers not being able to fulfill orders, give me a try as I will only list 45s that ARE IN STOCK and AVAILABLE! No back orders here as I have in stock everything that is listed. While I am a one-man operation, I will attempt to ship a couple of times a week so a 7 to 10 day wait at most for your items will be the usual order of business. I ship worldwide and pack 45s carefully using packing materials especially chosen for shipping records so orders will arrive well packaged and secure. About The Records!
Here are the details! Read carefully!
*All 45s/sleeves/picture sleeves are no less than Near Mint unless otherwise noted.
*All 45s are unplayed, and are US manufactured unless otherwise noted.
*All 45s are stock, retail copies, no promos unless otherwise noted.
*Records are from the warehouse inventory of a large US vinyl only wholesaler that in most
cases was never sent to stores so it is free from racking/handling damage.
*Deviations will be noted, such as drill holes, price stickers that may appear on some sleeves.
*Records graded/priced in accordance with Goldmine standards.
*Wide variety of listings including Pop/R&B/Northern/Country/Novelty from the 1950s to 1990s, including original issues, reissues, and some rare and very hard to find things.

A Note On Grading
All records and Picture Sleeves are graded in accordance with GoldMine standards and no 45rpm (wax) is less than Near Mint (Mint Minus per GEMM Grading) unless otherwise stated. All items are New and Unplayed. I do not grade using simply a "Mint" grade as I grade conservatively so Near Mint (Mint Minus) is the highest grade I use. Above all, as a collector as well for over 40 years, I will not sell a record I would not have in my own personal collection.
Pictures
I have a field in some listings which includes a URL (web address) where a picture or pictures of an item is located. I have a site hosting all of my pictures at:

I do not have pictures on everything as it is far too time consuming to do photos for all items so I have concentrated on many of the more expensive or unusual/rare items.
I will be adding 45s as time goes by so stop by frequently as I intend to continually add titles of all types. You may be surprised to see some of the things I have to list as many are not frequently seen anymore as Unplayed items.
