Thanks for looking!

MEDIA MAIL can take up to two weeks, though it's usually not that long.  I make sure to get everything out in the mail as soon as possible (1-2 business days), but after that it's in the Post Office's hands.  I recently had someone complaining because he didn't receive his record like 4 days after paying for it and was blaming me for the slowness of the US postal system (even though I had it in the mail 2 days after he paid).  Media Mail is cheap but slow.   

*Vinyl is removed from cover for shipping and sent in sturdy record mailers.


                     CONDITION/GRADING

Unless otherwise noted, almost all vinyl is in Excellent (NM/VG++) shape and from my private collection.  All records are handled with the utmost care, and the only ones that are not close to perfect are ones that I acquired used along the way (or that I've owned for decades).  


Of course some records may have minuscule manufacturing hairlines or "cloudy" spots that are noticeable only when held up to bright sunlight.  I mention this because I usually view records in a ray of sunlight when visually inspecting them before listing.  A lot of new records look like this, especially some labels from Italy and Jamaica. 

Regardless, I will make a note of any blemish I notice.

I try to grade all records as honestly possible and usually on the more conservative side of what I see some others do for similar conditions.  Hopefully this is reflected in my ratings. Please contact me if you have any questions.

NM - If album cover is still in shrink; no wear/damage. I generally don't mark vinyl NM unless just opened, carefully played a couple of times, and is practically new.VG++ - In excellent, often what many others would mark as NM condition but something I've played more than 2-3 times (though always carefully handled). Cover is excellent but no shrink wrap. VG+ - In great condition with possible light signs of wear or a few hairline or very slight and inaudible surface marks; cover would have very light signs of wear.VG - Plays and looks great, but may have a couple of light surface marks and perhaps some light static here and there; covers may have light ring or shelf wear, and some discoloration (thought generally in pretty solid shape). Often what some sellers list as VG+I hardly ever bother with anything less than VG unless obscure. 


                        SHIPPING

 Records sent Media Mail in USA.  I live in Denver, CO.

Vinyl is removed from cover for shipping and sent in sturdy record mailers.

Items are sent out within 1-2 business days upon receiving payment (please pay ASAP).  

I will post a tracking confirmation number after visiting the post office.

Please pay ASAP so I can get the records out quickly.

Any messages asking for discounts will be ignored. 



                             COMBINED SHIPPING: 

I'm not out to profit on shipping and will definitely do combined item pricing, but only up to 3 LPs because my LP mailers can only safely hold that amount (depending on thickness/weight of records). The USPS keeps raising their prices!

SHIPPING PRICES: 
$6.00 (depending on weight and amount of items, I can usually add another record or two for no extra cost; otherwise, it's usually a dollar extra)

Wait for an invoice before paying (for combined orders). Click on "Request Total from Seller" in the shopping cart


                         INTERNATIONAL

International shipping has become ridiculously expensive and complicated to deal with, so I'm not doing them anymore. Sorry.
