PLEASE READ (at least once):

We are a father/daughter duo. Daughter is the eBay person, dad is the record guy. Our goal- thin the collection to a much more manageable size while funding daughter’s “car fund”. A lifetime of collecting has resulted in too many records and many duplicates. We hope to get good records into good homes. As with most collectors, albums have been acquired in a multitude of ways, so in most cases we are not the original owners.

All albums are cleaned on a Nitty Gritty record cleaner and play tested on a JVC QL-A2 or a Technics SL 3200 turntable using a Marantz SR4023 receiver and Bose speakers. Photos are actual albums, taken with an iPhone (no enhancement).

Record collectors encompass many levels- from entry level (and often limited budgets) to audiophile (often enormous budgets) for equipment and recordings. Grading albums, even with Goldmine standards, is often a subjective process. All grades given are based on play testing. If a visual inspection differs in grade, that will be noted. We strive to be as accurate as possible. Any buyer who is dissatisfied with a purchase need only contact us and we will resolve the situation. Please note, under no circumstance do we offer a “partial refund” if you are not satisfied with your purchase. We will provide return postage and will issue a complete refund once we’ve received the album in 100% original condition.

Shipping: All records are shipped in new or very gently used (we do try to save resources, when possible) album mailers with corrugated cardboard inserts on both sides and between multiple albums. All albums and inner sleeves are removed from the jacket and inserted into plastic sleeves. All media rate shipping WILL be insured at buyers expense. If you don’t agree, please DON’T bid. If packages arrive damaged, we will provide the buyer with information necessary to file a claim, but all claims are the responsibility of the buyer.

Thank you for your time and, we hope, your business. If there’s a particular album you’re looking for let us know- we may have a copy to sell! Questions are always welcome. Happy collecting!
