I should not state the obvious here but I must, all playback descriptions are a result of playback on my equipment, not your equipment. I have no idea what you play your vinyl on and cannot guarantee that your playback results will be same as mine. I know it will come as a shock to some buyers but record players and cartridges track records differently. As a matter of fact, no two record needles are exactly alike even if they are of the same make and model. It is insane to expect 40 to 50 years old vinyl to play with the same clarity you'd get from today's virgin vinyl records.

jacket: EX (see photos)
vinyl: VG++ (see record grading info below for more details)
Sound(playback results may vary due to differences in equipment): little trace of static

ABOUT MY AUCTIONS

IF YOU DECIDE TO BID ON MY AUCTIONS YOU AGREE TO ABIDE BY THESE TERMS OR I WILL BLOCK YOU FROM ALL FUTURE BIDDING AND WHERE NECESSARY FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST YOU

I LIST MY AUCTIONS HONESTLY AND HAVE NO INTENTION OF DECEIVING ANYONE. 

EBAY HAS STRICT POLICIES GOVERNING SELLING AND IF I OR ANY OTHER SELLER TRIED TO DECEIVE BUYERS WE WOULD NOT GET AWAY WITH IT FOR LONG. WE WILL BE FLOODED WITH RETURN REQUESTS AND NEGATIVE FEEDBACK.

USED VINYL RECORDS ARE NOT PERFECT. EVERY SINGLE RECORD EVER PRESSED HAS FLAWS. OLD & USED RECORDS HAVE EVEN MORE FLAWS. BECAUSE OF THIS REASON I CANNOT GUARANTEE ANY RECORD I SELL WILL BE FLAWLESS.

I AM NOT A SMALL BUSINESS. THIS FOR ME IS AN EXTENDED GARAGE SALE OF MY VINYL COLLECTION ACQUIRED OVER YEARS OF COLLECTING & CARING FOR THESE ITEMS. SPACE IS TIGHT AROUND THE HOUSE AND I NEED TO WHITTLE MY COLLECTION FROM THOUSANDS TO A COUPLE OF HUNDRED TITLES I AM SURE TO LISTEN TO

VINYL GRADING

Mint(M)/Sealed(SS): this means record is in new condition. It does not mean record is 

perfect. Mint  records can have flaws such as warps, non-fills & scratches. No way to know 

that unless item is open. Because the price of mint items is based on being sealed, 

they must be returned in their sealed condition. WARNING Once opened sealed item 

cannot be returned even if there is a flaw in the record. Occasionally an open record will 

be graded as Mint in which it will be designated as so and accompanied by explanation

Near Mint(NM)/Minty: this grade is for records that are lightly used and still retain a 

good deal of the qualities of new vinyl. Only the faintest sign of use can barely be 

seen. NM does not mean Mint or perfect. Some sealed records come out NM because of 

poor handling at the pressing plant. NM will play with few lite traces of static or pops

EX/VG++: just a bit more wear than NM. Vinyl in this condition may deceptively 

look like a NM copy before close inspection. It has the type lite flaws that you may find 

in NM vinyl, only slightly more of it. surface marks are fewer and very light. Normal record playback

with all the normal flaws of record playing, that means minimal trace of static or pops.

VG+: this is the quintessential average used vinyl. Not too great and not too bad. Fairly 

worn and used.  Physical flaws are moderate and can be detected without too much 

straining. May have mild surface marks that cause soft static and pops, but not too excessive levels .

VG: below average. May have lite scratches that can cause lite skips of  a few short 

short duration. A good deal of the original luster may be gone. Surface will show a 

great deal of marks but not to the point of excessively congested. Only buy records in 

this condition if you really like the music and are happy with the price. If you are really picky 

& fussy records in this grade are not for you. Might have competing static and pops at a moderate level

G+:  this is as low as I am willing to go. Way below average vinyl. Will only list items that

are rare or very popular in this category. Often the collectibility quotient is greater than 

the sonic value. G+ vinyl has heavy signs of wear and use. Scratches, scuffs and 

skips can be extreme. Static & pops are pronounced

ALL GRADING IS VISUAL, A MIXTURE  OF SUBJECTIVE & OBJECTIVE EVALUATION THAT ARE AFFECTED BY EQUIPMENT. I LIVE IN A VERY DRY PART OF THE COUNTRY AND USE MC CARTRIDGE, BOTH OF WHICH CAN INTRODUCE MORE STATIC IN MY EVALUATION THAN IS REALLY THERE ON THE RECORD. DUE TO THESE REASONS I DO NOT GRADE SOUND. NO MATTER HOW ACCURATE MY DESCRIPTIONS OF SOUND THERE'S ALWAYS A HUGE POSSIBILITY YOU WILL HEAR THE RECORD DIFFERENTLY ON YOUR EQUIPMENT WHICH IS NOT IDENTICAL TO MINE. IT DOES NOT MEAN I AM WRONG, OR YOU'RE WRONG; IT SIMPLY MEANS OUR EQUIPMENTS INTERPRETED THE VINYL DIFFERENTLY

THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE YOU WILL NOT LIKE THE USED RECORD YOU BUY FROM ME BUT IT IN NO WAY MEANS DECEPTION ON MY PART. I WORK VERY HARD AT LISTING THESE RECORDS AS ACCURATELY AS I CAN, AND I UNDERSTAND SOMETIMES A BUYER MAY DISAGREE.  IN THAT CASE YOU CAN PAY THE RETURN SHIPPING AND RETURN IT TO ME IN CONDITION YOU RECEIVED IT IN. I WILL ISSUE YOU A REFUND FOR THE ORIGINAL COST AND SHIPPING UPON RECEIPT OF THE RETURN.

IN THE END IT IS MY AUCTION AND I DECIDE WHAT GRADE IS ASSIGNED TO MY LISTINGS. MY GRADINGS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO DEBATE IF YOU DISAGREE WITH MY GRADING AND MY DESCRIPTIONS IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THE RETURN SHIPPING. I DO NOT PLACE A RESTRICTIONS ON THE REASONS FOR RETURN. YOU CAN RETURN YOUR PURCHASE WITHIN 30 DAYS FOR WHATEVER REASON YOU CHOOSE BUT SHIPPING IS ON YOU

EACH VINYL I LIST IS CLEANED ON A VPI 16.5 RECORD CLEANER WITH L'Art Du Son CLEANING SOLUTION & DISTILLED WATER. 

AFTER CLEANING EACH VINYL IS PLAY TESTED USING A SONICALLY NEUTRAL $1000 NUDE MICRO RIDGE (MC) STYLUS THAT EXCELS IN EXPOSING FLAWS IN RECORDS, MOUNTED ON A VPI CLASSIC TURNTABLE w/UNIPIVOT TONEARM.

WHEN I PLAYTEST A WARPED RECORD I DO SO ON THE SOLID 15Ib MACHINED AIRCRAFT ALUMINUM PLATTER OF MY VPI CLASSIC TURNTABLE WITHOUT A PLATTER MAT ON. THIS ENSURES ACCURACY IN GAUGING THE EXTENT OF THE WARP AND HOW IT IMPACTS PLAYBACK. 99% OF BUYERS  WILL PLAY RECORDS ON A PLATTER LESS RIGOROUS AND WITH A MAT ON TOP. THIS CAN IMPACT THE PLAYBACK OF A WARPED RECORD AND LEAD TO DIFFERENT RESULTS

THE RESULTS OF THE CLEANING AND PLAY TESTING ARE PROVIDED IN THE LISTING DESCRIPTIONS. I DESCRIBE TO  YOU WHAT I HEAR ON MY EQUIPMENT. I HAVE NO WAY OF DESCRIBING WHAT YOU WILL HEAR ON YOUR EQUIPMENT SINCE I DO NOT HAVE YOUR EQUIPMENT. FOR THE MOST PART I AM ACCURATE AS MY OVERALL FEEDBACK CAN ATTEST.

ALL VINYL ARE INSPECTED BEFORE SHIPPING. IF THERE'S ANY DISCREPANCY FOUND DURING THE PRE-SHIPPING INSPECTION, BUYER WILL QUICKLY BE NOTIFIED VIA EBAY. AT THAT POINT YOU WILL HAVE THE CHOICE OF CANCELING THE ORDER OR ACCEPTING A DISCOUNT

I DO NOT GRADE INNER SLEEVES. I ONLY INFORM BUYERS IF CUSTOM INNER SLEEVES & INSERTS ARE PRESENT
