  International Buyers – Please Note: I ACCEPT ALL CURRENCIES  Import duties, charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. Registration required on all international shipments unless using ebay global shipping, for me to ship direct to your country includes a small fee, no exceptions!   EBAY RECORD GRADING RULES BELOW:   NM (Near Mint): Nearly Like new.. EXC/VG++:   A record that has a few visual imperfections that will not affect the sound. Likely played only a handful of times or never at all.  VG+:   A few more surface marks than a VG++. The record has probably been played before but well taken care of and should play with very few audible imperfections. VG:   The record will display light surface scuffs and marks. Expect some light surface noise in parts or a few clicks or pops here and there. A VG record will play with very minimal noise and will still be quite enjoyable. We think our VG grade is conservative. VG-:   The record may have some deeper audible scratches. There will be some clicks and pops more consistently than that of a VG record but will play without skipping. G:   The record will have heavy wear, deep scratches and very apparent surface noise, clicks or pops. Poor:   Records with this grade should be considered unplayable. Cover grades: 

Although no description is given for cover grades, a bidder should be aware that a cover that is graded NM will be like new and with no apparent wear or defects and a cover that is graded Poor will be a wreck that is still desirable based on scarcity, historical importance or other market demand.  All grades between these two extremes will be logically applied to the item on

EBAY RECOMMENDED TO ADD THIS QUESTION AND ANSWER FROM ONE OF MY BUYERS

  -  I see you have never had a record break in shipping.  How do you protect records and tapes from the hazards of shipping?


ANSWER:  GREAT QUESTION ON HOW I ACHIEVE 100% RATE WITH NEVER BREAKING A RECORD DURING SHIPMENT AND WHY I HAVE 100% FEEDBACK that you have asked!!  I buy expensive 33, 78, and 45 cardboard box mailers, and expensive bubble wrap, the most important thing I do for my buyers other than taking great care of these valuable records is packaging every single record myself as if I was the buyer because I care about my buyers!!!!!!!!! I want all records to be cushioned entirely around each record and when more than one record, I want them entirely cushioned so it is impossible for them to break, I have never had a record break during shipping in decades of being in the record business.  Also, I follow ebay and USPS and UPS shipping rules for fragile packages



If you are an international buyer YOU DONT HAVE TO USE EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM UNLESS YOU WANT, I Offer A LESS EXPENSIVE, FASTER FIRST CLASS choice for FIRST CLASS US POSTAL SERVICE INTERNATIONAL shipping with a customs form I fill out at and declare low value. You can opt out of ebay global shipping, I send invoice shipping for around twenty dollars unless larger package, includes taxes, custom duties, shipping handling charges I incur, EXTRA RECORDS ARE a couple dollars each or less if in the USA. I FILL OUT CUSTOMS FORM, DUTIES, TAXES EVERYTHING SO ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO PICK UP YOUR ITEM, EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM IS MORE EXPENSIVE SO I SHIP DIRECTLY TO YOUR COUNTRY DECLARE LOW VALUE ON CUSTOMS FORM I FILL OUT.
ebay global shipping is much too expensive, so you must opt out of that, do not use ebay global shipping, I invoice you directly and send to your country safely, i am very experienced at this and keep tracking records for package and also the original customs form I fill out, I  SHIP WORLDWIDE in packages, not small envelopes as the record could break, THERE ARE ALMOST 200 COUNTRIES IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, NOW EVERY COUNTRY HAS A DIFFERENT PRICE FOR ECONOMY FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING FROM USA, WHAT I DO IS CHARGE A FLAT FEE OF LESS THAN $20, (remember these are records in protected cardboard small boxes, which costs more than a letter but still mostly less than $20) so your invoice will be for less than $20 for the initial shipping rate, I am a usa corporation with inc at end of username so there is a small tax charge which is USA law, as I have been audited, ( for the USA postal international shipping service, EVERY foreign COUNTRY CHARGES near $20 TO SHIP TO for a cardboard box package) there are no additional fees from me except small usa sales tax, but you get a 3% cash rebate immediately by using the pink border listing above in this listing mystorerewards App, I fill out the customs form declare low value, NOW LARGE PACKAGES OR MULTIPLE RECORDS WEIGH MORE, SO IF THAT IS YOUR ORDER THERE IS A SMALL ADDITIONAL CHARGE OF A FEW DOLLARS APPROXIMATELY FOR MULTIPLE RECORDS OR ORDERS.  LASTLY IF USA postal service cheapest rate for your COUNTRY charges $25 as an example for one 45 7" record in a package that weighs 4ounces, then I will bill you $25, however this is extremely rare as most countries charge less than $20 which is why I have a flat rate of less than $20, of course all of this is public information via the internet as far as pricing for packages.  Also, some foreign countries charge a freight fee in your country, but this is also rare.
