NOTE: OK, I'm starting to ship internationally as I used to, but BE AWARE SHIPPING TIMES OVERSEAS ARE ERRATIC. Be aware that I cannot change the speed of shipping. And I've had some records take 3 MONTHS ... BE AWARE.

Love Dexter -- absolute mensch. This is a quieter album, so I graded it knowing that. It's generally pretty clean. You'll here a really slight bit of noise on and off -- but it's generally pretty clean.

See below for more detail:

VINYL: Lower VG+ (7.0 of 10) RVG STEREO stamps, Ear marks, heavy NYC label press. Stereo. This LP plays an OK VG+. There's light scuffing, and a some light surface marks. It plays clean through with only really light crackle here or there, and a little popping in and out. For sure better than a lot of copies I've seen -- but not perfect.
COVER: Stronger VG (7.0 of 10) Solid sleeve. 2" split bottom seam, and that seam/corner has some light shredding (I'd call it?). Art is great, back liner notes are great, and there's a little gloss coming up at opening -- overall a pretty solid copy, for sure. _______ Now the standard messages:

GRADING: Yes I use standard grading. HOWEVER, I will NEVER use the word "mint" or "near mint" to describe a used LP ... sorry, won't do it. The highest I go is VG+. I use a number after to more represent a combination of how the vinyl looks and how it sounds. 10 is the best. I'll describe what I see in addition. I've found the combination of these two can minimize expectation gaps. But ask questions when in doubt.

CLEANING: Yes. All vinyl is cleaned ... on my own machine I made. Vacuum machine. I wash and rinse with my own formula cleaners -- once with my enzyme cleaner, and rinsed with my own distilled water/alcohol formula. ... this process has worked for me for years.

TESTING: Yes. I've listened to the records I sell. I play on a Lenco L70, via Denon 103 MC cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 6 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: $4.99 for anywhere Media Mail, domestic. Overseas is BY WEIGHT, so check that weight before bidding, you overseas-ers! LPs shipped in a proper box with plastic sleeve, and yes, vinyl shipped outside the sleeve. 
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a compelling reason. But if there's a serious problem, I'm sure we can figure it out with a return. I mean, I am an adult ... allegedly. But I do try to describe accurately, offer time for questions, and I deal in used records, not new stuff ... yes, it's always kind of a gamble buying via eBay, which is why I try to do my best to make an objective attempt to describe the LP in question. ASK QUESTIONS WHEN IN DOUBT. I promise, we can make this an easy transaction
