I am as thorough as possible in describing the records so what you see and read is what you get. All records for sale are primarily visually graded. I highly suggest you clean the records before playing for maximum enjoyment! Please email me with any questions or concerns.
SHIPPING: (USA): All records are shipped via USPS Media Mail (slow) or USPS Priority Mail (fast). Please specify your preferred shipment method at checkout . (International): All records shipped outside the United States is done via the eBay Global Shipping Program. I ship every record mailed via USPS Media Mail with insurance so there is a handling charge included with the shipping to cover that cost. The flat rate to ship 1 record is $5.00. To ship via USPS Priority Mail with insurance the shipping rate will be $12.00. Please email me to let me know if you want to combine shipping and handling for multiple orders.
PACKING: Records are professionally packed & shipped using cardboard inserts and/or bubble wrap. They will be mailed inside a professional record mailer box or a well padded professional envelope.
GOLDMINE STANDARD GRADING: Mint: Unopened; Still factory sealed or opened but has no visible marks; Looks like it has never been played.
NM: Near Perfect; Played rarely if ever; May have 1 or 2 very slight superficial scuffs that does not effect play.
EX: Almost like new; Might have a few superficial signs of use that does not effect play; Very well cared for. May contain very light surface scratches and/or scuffs. Label and jacket may show slight signs of ring-wear and/or lightly bent corners. No writing, tears or rips.
VG+: May show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took reasonably good care of it. Imperfections are cosmetic and do not drastically impact the playback. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs and surface scratches. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are ok. The label and jacket may have some slight ring ring-wear, discoloration, minor tears and imperfections. As with most vinyl, there may be low-level surface noise and light crackles and pops may be present, especially during quiet or soft passages in the track.
VG: Surface noise will be noticeable but will not overpower the music; More noticeable scuffs and lite scratches. Many of the imperfections found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG record or sleeve but will still play through nicely without any issues or skips.
I do not sell anything graded less than VG unless it is a very rare find that people are looking for regardless of condition.
Thanks for looking! Please let me know if you have questions.
