I do not sell any records that are brand new pressed and made this current year we are in right now.  The buyer of this item understands they are buying record(s) and (sleeves if applicable) that are decade(s) old and the buyer is instructed as well in the listing to view photos for condition of the album cover, sleeve and record(s) decades old album covers are not expected to look like brand new sealed unopened album covers as an example, we do not grade anything as a New Mint Sealed Record, all our items are sold as used even if unopened sealed and never played as they are older records and with time may not sound the same as the same record repressed this current year on brand new record pressing equipment with brand new vinyl though of course records are durable.  The grading rules are a couple paragraphs above this paragraph in this listing so please do not buy if you want a new record pressed this current year which we do not sell,  as vintage records - as buyers know- have on the run in of the record - you can hear a little needle chatter on some older records due to the needle of the stylus which still vibrates in the record groove. These vibrations cause very faint vibrations in the air (in other words, 'sound'), so the sound of the needle is not very loud. As experienced record buyers know the sound that you are hearing is the stylus in the groove vibrating back and forth when there is not a loud band or instruments playing between or during a song or for example during the run in of the record which has no grooves as well. This item is sold as is, with no applicable returns except those that qualify per the ebay guarantee of course which we do accept. Other returns such as ordered by mistake, changed my mind, found a better price, don't like the music genre, doesn't fit, etcetera are at seller's discretion per ebay rules and we strive to give excellent customer service on returns as well.
