So in general I'm a jazz record "specialist," in terms of what I really know. However, a really cool rock/psych collection just came my way. So I'll be listing quite a few rad albums -- be on the lookout.
See below for more detail:

VINYL: Strong VG (7.0 of 10) Vinyl looks pretty solid. Side 1 has some spotted marks, and they didn't really make any fuss for me, except the transition to the last song, that made a light "woof" sound for a few rotations. But overall, there is a little light surface scratching on side 2, but on the whole it plays pretty fantastic.
COVER: VG+ (7.5 of 10) Looks good. Some wear to the belt area. Zipper is good, no seam splits, and has some wear. That's about it. _________________________________________________________________ Now the standard messages:

GRADING: Yes I use standard grading. HOWEVER, I will NEVER use the word "mint" or "near mint" to describe a used LP ... sorry, won't do it. The highest I go is VG+. I use a number after to more represent a combination of how the vinyl looks and how it sounds. 10 is the best. I'll describe what I see in addition. I've found the combination of these two can minimize expectation gaps. But ask questions when in doubt.

CLEANING: Yes. All vinyl is cleaned ... on a machine I made. Vacuum machine. I wash and rinse with my own formula cleaners -- once with my enzyme cleaner, and rinsed with my own distilled water/alcohol formula. ... this process has worked for me for years.

TESTING: Yes. I've listened to the records I sell. I play on a Lenco L70, via Denon 103 MC cart; tube preamp, ST-70 tube amplification to KLH 17 speakers. A tubey system if I say so myself. 
SHIPPING: $4.99 for anywhere Media Mail, domestic. Overseas is BY WEIGHT, so check that weight before bidding, you overseas-ers! LPs shipped in a proper box with plastic sleeve, and yes, vinyl shipped outside the sleeve. 
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a damn compelling reason. I describe accurately, offer time for questions, and I deal in used records, not new stuff ... yes, it's always kind of a gamble buying via eBay, which is why I try to do my best to make an objective attempt to describe the LP in question. ASK QUESTIONS WHEN IN DOUBT. I promise, we can make this an easy transaction.
