Welcome To My Little Ebay Site I Call:   "PLAY IT BY EAR"

How many times have you been disappointed with a vinyl purchase because sellers are using the "Visual" Goldmine Record Grading System? I've seen vinyl that looked NM but once played, were epic fails and I've put a needle down on vinyl that I thought would be a throwaway and have been pleasantly surprised.  Most sellers, myself included, are not licensed appraisers, so grading becomes quite subjective and "another man's treasure...." I'm taking it one step further and basing it loosely on the Goldmine Grading, EXCEPT!!!! I SAMPLE TRACK ALL MY ALBUMS AND TEND TO UNDERRATE.  Grading by sample tracking is much more accurate than the many "visual" grading sellers out there you must admit, and my feedback reflects my willingness to be accurate. Packed as follows: Vinyl removed from jacket.Original sleeve stays in jacket. Jacket placed in plastic sleeve. Vinyl placed in plain white sleeve. Jacket and vinyl placed between two pieces of cardboard. Cardboard saran wrapped and taped. Package placed in record mailer. CHECK MY FEEDBACK. BID WITH CONFIDENCE.

I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING, PRICES AS FOLLOWS: 2 ALBUMS, AN ADDITIONAL $1.00, 3 ALBUMS, AN ADDITIONAL $1.75, 4 ALBUMS, AN ADDITIONAL  $2.25. MY LIMIT ON ANY ONE SHIPMENT IS FOUR ALBUMS. THAT IS THE MAXIMUM I WILL SHIP IN ONE RECORD MAILER AND BE ASSURED THAT MY CUSTOMER IS GETTING A SAFE, SECURELY PACKED PRODUCT. IF YOU WERE TO WIN FIVE ALBUMS, THE FIFTH ALBUM BECOMES A NEW INDIVIDUAL SHIPMENT AND IS PRICED ACCORDINGLY. THANK YOU.

The Smiths, "The Queen Is Dead" Vinyl LP. (1986). Rough Trade/Sire 1-25426. Vinyl is VG++, with minimal spindle wear, clean, quiet with excellent fidelity. Well taken care of and sparingly played. Gate fold jacket is VG+, with Gold Promo Stamp upper right hand corner, just a hint of ring wear, some light rub wear and minor wear around corners and edges, strong gate fold hinge, good inner gate fold picture with light rub wear on edges. Original inner picture sleeve is flat and unwrinkled, but it does have seam splits on all sides. All in all, a really nice record. You may find cheaper, but not in this shape.
