Record Grading

VINYL:

NM has all original gloss with NO noticeable marks - the record(s) appear to be both unplayed AND unhandled (clearly, they have been handled, as I inspect each item carefully, but there are literally no traces of marks anywhere that I was able to see).  

EX has all original gloss but may have very faint surface imperfections on AT LEAST one side that is/are visible only on close inspection - the type of mark(s) where you see it one time and then can't find it again.  

VG+ has high gloss with MINIMAL surface imperfections on AT LEAST one side that should not affect play (e.g., light sleeve scuffing) - the type of mark(s) that are visible, but you still have high confidence that sound will be unaffected.  

VG has high gloss but has MODERATE surface imperfections on AT LEAST one side that are visible on first glance and may affect play.  These records are typically only listed if they are more difficult to find in better condition.  

VG- is still glossy, but has a mark (or marks) that will have an affect on sound, though, likely, minor. These will be described to the best of my ability.  Records in this condition have high collector value and correspond, roughly, to a Goldmine grade of VG+.

SOUND: 

I prefer not play grade records, as my impression of the sound quality will, likely, be much different than yours.  HOWEVER, if anything you purchase does not meet your standards, simply contact me to arrange a complete refund - including return shipping.   

LABEL/COVER/SLEEVE GRADES: 

I will do my best to accurately convey any imperfections, but please look over pictures carefully.

NM has no noticeable flaws and is rarely used

EX is a very high grade but may have the most minor imperfection(s) that do not detract from the overall impression of the jacket, such as corners not being perfectly sharp.   

VG+ has a flaw(s) on AT LEAST one side that is visible, but is/are not overly distracting (such as light wear or discoloration or CLEAN writing/sticker, corner(s) dinged, minor discoloration, or other minor flaws, up to and including minor splits).  Any splits will be specifically noted.  Generally speaking, this grade is used for items that show LIGHT wear but no damage.

VG has imperfection(s) that one notices at first glance that begin(s) to distract (such as shelf wear, minor ring wear, a more pronounced split, shelf wear, etc).  Generally speaking, this grade is used for items that show moderate wear, but no damage.

G has some sort of distracting imperfection that clearly detracts from the appearance and will be described. 

As always, I will happily issue a FULL refund (your choice of either cash or credit toward another item) if you are unhappy for ANY reason and contact me within 30 days of receiving a record.  In most cases I will ask that the record be returned. 

Assume all records come in plain, white sleeves unless otherwise noted/photographed (this is easiest for listing purposes - I will occasionally surprise a buyer with a company sleeve).

Finally, I do not believe in using reserve prices.  I will list opening bids of the minimum I am willing to accept for a record.  If it's bid on, it is selling.
