Hi and thank you for looking at my auctions!  I'm new to ebay but have been collecting and shipping records for over 30 years!  Due to 

some family medical issues I will be thinning out my huge collection this spring/summer.  I have some real gems that will be up for grabs!  Please keep an eye on my auctions.  Truly a chance to MAKE a collection others will envy!!  I'll have a bunch of rare jazz and blues going up so keep an eye out but I quite literally have music from every genre that I'll be selling. Some auctions and some buy it nows. Individual lps and lots will be listed. All reasonable offers on buy it now listings will be considered but please, no low balling, 

Please bid/buy with confidence!  I will guarantee the listed condition of the records and sleeves.  All records are visually graded according to GOLDMINE STANDARDS. I also play grade many. I grade conservatively.  Generally, if an album is listed as vg...it is probably closer to most others vg+ grade. Any records valued over $20 will also be play graded with notes included in the listing. All records have been properly stored and kept in pristine condition!  All records are professionally ultrasonically cleaned using Tergikleen solution followed by a bath in distilled water. 

*****Below is my standard visual grading scale***** *Please note that records I also play grade will be labeled as such with grades based off visual and play in those cases.

Vinyl: 

NM or Sealed  (Near Perfect or Perfect Condition)

NM- (Near Perfect, unsealed but shows no signs of use)

EX (Amazing condition, only very minor if any blemishes visible under certain light, nearly flawless. Possibly a couple minor scuffs/hairlines that do not affect playback aside from in silemt sections they may be heard)

VG+  ( Plays great, looks great, extremely minor superficial scuffs/hairlines which generally are inaudible or produce very minor background noise. Generally, still considered collector caliber)

VG  (Some wear, some scratches, may have some minor pops, ticks crackle and/or fuzz in playback but not consistent or overpowering of the music - most noticeable in queit areas, no deep scratches, no skipping. Generally speaking, an excellent play copy and acceptable for many collectors, esp for rare/old albums)

VG-  (May have significant lighter surface scratches/scuffing, may affect play throughout, can feel some imperfections, can easily see damage in any light. Some consistent light background noise is possible. Still should not have skips or deep scratches and still a solid play copy!)

G+/G (Generally, the lowest grade I'll sell but probably closer to most other sellers VG- grades. May have a skip or two but still playable. Expect noticeable wear and consistent background noise. These are still good listening copies and extremely affordable. I will NOT sell you a trashed album!!)

Jacket:

NM or Sealed  (Near Perfect or Perfect Condition, hardly used or handled at all)

NM- (Amazing condition, not sealed, only very minor if any blemishes, nearly flawless, well maintained)

EX/VG+ (Great condition, looks amazing, very minor signs of wear, seams are great, no significant damage)

VG/VG-  (Some signs of wear, may have some  damaged seams but no splits, ring wear, surface wear, and/or other visible marks but still in quite nice condition)

G+/G (Consistent signs of damage and wear,  splitting seams, or writing on jacket, or light water damage)

FAIR (Considerable wear or damage, split seams, significant water damage, writing, tears, etc. Not a complete throw away, but not really presentable)

**I will include a free archival quality rice paper lined poly inner lp sleeve (Mofi, Vinyl Style or similar quality) and a heavy 3ml weight poly outer sleeve with every record!!  **(These will not be included in "mixed grab lots" i'll be listing). You will be able to tell from the photos which have the liner sleeves included.  :)   

****EXTRA SPECIAL THANK YOU BONUS!!!!****  

Any orders totaling $100+ will get a free record valued around $10 from a similar music genre as purchases.  Orders totaling $200+ will get 1 free record valued around $20 (or possibly a few worth $20 together).  

**PAYMENT AND SHIPPING DETAILS - PLEASE READ:

**I will combine shipping and hold records for up to 2 weeks to add.  PLEASE PAY FOR EACH AUCTION WITHIN 3 DAYS OF AUCTION CLOSE!  I will adjust shipping on any additional auctions you'd like to add.  Please allow me to adjust shipping for add-ons before paying for those.  "Buy It Now" listings require immediate payment.  So, if you'd like to combine those to an existing order please pay right away and i will refund shipping differences.  I DO NOT MAKE MONEY ON SHIPPING!  If anything, I take a loss on shipping and packing expenses.  Please ask questions before bidding/buying.

ALL ORDERS PROFESSIONALLY PACKAGED IN CARDBOARD BOX OR RECORD MAILER DEPENDING ON ORDER SIZE.  I have been shipping records for over 20 years!  They will be packed as well as you've seen anywhere! Records are kept outside of cover but inside protective liners to prevent ring wear.

I highly recommend paying the extra few dollars to ship Priority!  Media Mail can be insanely slow and there is NO INSURANCE on media mail.  ****Media Mail is at buyers risk.  USPS does not guarantee Media Mail so there is no recourse for damaged or lost packages.  Priority does include insurance from USPS in case of loss or damage.  I take a loss on Priority shipping in order to offer it as a financially viable option for you!  Please take advantage of this and combined shipping!  I want you to receive them fast and in the same shape as they were sent!!  I want you to be happy with the purchase and enjoy the music!  I do not however, have any control over USPS, so any delays or damages, the customer must deal directly with USPS/shipping service to resolve.  I have zero control once the package is dropped of at post office and have no insider knowledge or leverage with USPS when there are issues on their end. **By bidding/buying you acknowledge this and accept responsibility if Media Mail is the chosen shipping method and any issues arise after package has been shipped.  I assume no liability or responsibility for delays or damages caused by the shipping service providers and these must be dealt with directly between the customer and shipping provider.**  Thank you for understanding!!

I love music and collecting records!  I also love sharing music!  Unfortunately, life has dictated that I thin my collection.  I'm parting with many of these extremely reluctantly.  Please know these have been well cared for and I want them to continue being enjoyed in others collections!  Thanks so much and best o
