Grading systemMint (M): Perfect: This record looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws what so ever. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains.
Excellent (EX): The record shows some signs of being played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear to the edges of the sleeve and or creasing.
Very Good (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the sleeve and extra items, without any major defects is acceptable.
We make every effort to describe items accurately, and do not set out to deliberately mislead. We are only human; sometimes we get things wrong. Please bear in mind that subjective opinions can differ from one person to another, and we describe items in good faith as we personally see them. Your opinion may differ; this does not make either of us wrong, it just means that we differ. If we have made a genuine mistake then we will always do something about it.
No time wasters pleaseIf you do not pay within 7 days or make arrangements to delay payment, an unpaid item case will be opened & you will be blocked from buying from us again. We also reserve the right to make a complaint to eBay about your conduct. A little communication costs absolutely nothing. We are quite happy to wait for bidding on other items to conclude, but you must tell us if that is what is happening. If you are still bidding please do not pay for anything until you have finished, and we have worked out the combined p&p price. This is important as it costs more in fees if items are paid for individually.
