I use RC gradings, although I tend to undergrade, so that the buyer is fully satisfied -I only use the term 'Mint' if an item is sealed, So many of my EX+ grades might be considered 'Mint' by many .(This item being a case in point!) I also do not believe there is much point in just putting EX/EX or VG+/EX as this can vary hugely between sellers, so I try to put in as detailed description as I can

I have been selling records on the Net and in the real world for many years with top ratings on the likes of DISCOGS and MUSICSTACK, (As well as here on ebay), so please buy with confidence

When sending, all records and inner sleeves are separated from their main outer sleeves then both placed in poly sleeves , then in thick card, then in bubble wrapped envelopes for the best protection possible

If the ending price of the item means it has to be insured in the post, then I pay the extra (why should the buyer have to?!)

All items are shipped within 2 working days of paypal payment (or cheque clearing) - Saturdays included!
