CONDITION

The Sleeve is in good shape. There is some shelf wear and corner softening/wear. There is a little blue ink dot in the “M” of “Marvin” in the upper left corner. Still very solid with no cutouts, splits, tears, stains, writing, etc. and would rate VG. The Vinyl is in clean Glossy condition looking pretty lightly played. Thre are some scuffs, marks and light hairlines - no actual scratches i.e. something you can feel with a fingernail. VG visuallly but mostly plays VG+ or better all through with the the exception of a click / micro skip (like half a beat) on side two, song one and maybe a few random spots of faint groove noise - nothing that distracts from the music and might be improved with a better cleaning than I can give with my Discwasher brush. The Labels are Near Mint.

TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

Records are graded to the best of my ability to Goldmine Visual standards. If I provide Play Grades it is done as a courtesy but I only guarantee the Visual Grade. If you are not familiar with this grading system (or even if you think you are!), please check it out before bidding. I have summarized the important (i.e. I think everyone knows what Mint means) points below in Goldmine's words:
Very Good Plus (VG+): Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK.
Very Good (VG): Surface noise will be evident upon playing,... Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
I stand by my grades but would like us to be on the same page so no problems arise. I have been selling Vintage Vinyl for over twenty years on the net and I can count the returns I've had on one hand so I believe my grading is fair and accurate. One important note, I try to grade to these Goldmine guides as best as I can understand and apply them. This gives us both a written standard to go by rather than having to guess. But.... it also means that I don't issue refunds over differences of opinion in grading i.e. "That's not MY idea of a VG record!" - I don't know what your standards are and, as such, can't grade to them. I guarantee that items I sell will meet my description, nothing more or less! If you are not satisfied that a purchase meets my description, I will do what I can to make it right if you give me the chance and work with me! Please feel free to check my feedback.
Buyer to pay through PayPal (or other methods by pre-arrangement). Domestic U.S. Buyer pays calculated shipping costs for 2 Pounds. Each additional record is only $1.00 for domestic bidders. Payment must be recieved within one week of close of auction or item may be relisted at my discretion. Overseas orders pay actual cost of Air shipping and must pay by PayPal (or other methods by pre-arrangement) in a timely manner.

COMPLETE SHIPPING INFO

Buyer to prepay by PayPal (or other methods by pre-arrangement). Domestic U.S. Buyer pays calculated shipping costs for 2 Pounds. Each additional record is only $1.00 for domestic bidders. PLEASE NOTE: My auctions with a "Buy It Now" require an Immediate Payment. If you purchase multiple B.I.N. items, I will calculate combined shipping and refund the difference to you! Or contact me ahead of time and I will remove the Immediate Payment requirement for you! Payment must be received within one week of close of auction or item may be relisted at my discretion. Overseas orders pay actual cost of shipping and must pay by PayPal (or other methods by pre-arrangement) in a timely manner. You are responsible for any fees - Customs, taxes, V.A.T., etc. - that you may inccur. Likewise lost or stolen items. I am happy to ship by any method that you prefer and to Register, Insure or otherwise protect your shipment but these all cost $$$ and are, therefore, optional. All items selling for over $50 must be insured. You may easily check the cost BEFORE bidding of any services. My shipping Zip code is 98353. Or, ask me and I will be happy to check for you. I am happy to combine postage on multiple purchases for International orders and only charge actual postage - please ask for an invoice, I will have to calculate costs.

Please read and understand: EBay / PayPal now requires door to door tracking and Insurance on all shipments! I strongly encourage customers to choose this option for both of our protection. I understand that this is painfully expensive particularly for overseas bidders. I am going out on a limb by allowing my overseas customers to choose shipping via regular 1st Class mail. If you choose to have your item shipped without Tracking or Insurance, you specifically agree to relinquish any and all rights to claims or refunds for loss or damage via eBay, PayPal or Credit Card companies and to abide exclusively by the terms as set forth in this auction. My apologies for the necessity of the legalese... once bitten…
