I would like to thank you for your interest in my Auction.

I grade my LPs conservatively, according to my grading scale listed below.  The used LPs were viewed carefully, under bright lights, in order to provide you as accurate of a depiction as possible of the condition.  The LPs, covers and sleeves (all pictures) are of the actual piece being offered for sale!

I only accept payment via PayPal.  Payment must be made within 7 days of purchase, and I will ship LPs within 3 days of payment. 

Please message if you plan to purchase more than one LP and/or if you are purchasing from outside the United States.

Combined shipping cost offered.  Each LP purchased within 5 days of the first auction won, shipped together, is 75 cents extra.  Double LPs count as two LPs toward combined shipping costs.  If you plan to bid on other items, please message me and let me know.

If you have any questions about any of my LPs, please feel free to ask before bidding!

MY GRADING SCALE

Here’s how I grade my albums:

SS - Still Sealed - The record is assumed to be in Mint condition, as it is has not been opened.  I will explain any cut-outs, hole punches, notches, shrink wrap tearing or any type of damage (such as creasing, bent corners, etc.).

NM - Near Mint - Cover is beautiful.  If it does not have shrink wrap, it has high gloss and little or no bumping of the corners.  Only the slightest signs of wear/handling.  The LP shows very little signs of play/wear, if any at all.  As close as it gets to just being opened.  Only a few LPs/Covers will receive this grade because, if they are not new, this grading should rightfully be rarely used!

EX - Excellent - Cover may contain some noticeable corner bumps and possible scuffing.  May even contain hairline creases.  May possibly still be in shrink wrap and will be noted as so, if it is.  Has a nice gloss and feel to the cover if it is out of shrink.  Ever so slight ringwear may be evident. The album shows light signs of play and/or wear.  May have light scuffs and/or very minimal, light superficial marks that must be sought out to locate.  A fantastic LP for listening and/or collecting.

VG+ - Very Good Plus - The most common grading standard for records that have been handled with care but listened to and enjoyed.  Cover may have some minor creasing, more corner bumps/rubs/bends.  Spine may show some minor flaking and some noticeable ringwear could be present.  The LP is a nice record that has been carefully handled and well kept.  There should be some modest signs of wear on the record.  It may have some scuffing and surface marks, but it will give a nice listening experience.

VG - Very Good - I will not list anything lower than Very Good, as these LPs are from my personal collection.  I would not want to own, nor would I sell anything that would not provide quality listening.  The cover may contain noticeable ringwear and/or creasing.  Also, flaking could be more evident along with some possible light discolorations from time-to-time, but nothing that would severely deface the cover.  The LP may contain a moderate amount of scuffing/markings but nothing such as "feeler" scratches.  There may be surface noise, but it would be most noticeable on the quiet passages of the record.
