SHIPPING: $7 with any additional records bought at the same time from my sales shipped free with the initial order.   Records are put in a sleeve, which is in turn put in a bag to hold them in place.  Then two cardboard squares are placed on each side of the records, making a sandwich, then taped together for protection.  Once that?s done, I put two layers of bubble wrap around the record sandwich.  Using a 14x14x4 (or 6 inch) box depending on the number of discs, I place more bubble wrap on the bottom, laying the record sandwich on top, adding more bubble wrap above that.  The empty spaces are filled with packing peanuts and the box sealed with tape, marked fragile, and shipped off to its new home.  I?m not interested in making the sale, only to destroy the record in shipping.

I have several thousand 78rpm, Edison Diamond Discs, and Edison and Columbia Cylinders for sale in my FB group.  Feel free to message me if you are looking for something.  Also, I recently purchased nearly 2000 store stock Columbias and Harmonys.  If you are a collector of such, you should message me.

If you?re tired of poor grading, please give me a shot.  My grading tends to be some of the strictest you?ll find on Ebay.

If you?d like me to post a video of a disc playing that you are interested in, please message me and let me know.  I?ll do my best.  Chances are something you are interested in may already be posted.  I have several hundred posted at this time, adding 10-30 a week.

VISUAL GRADING SCALE (I am using the VJM Record Grading System):

N- Nearly Mint, but has been played.  No visible signs of wear or damage (I will only use this if I feel the record is as close to being unplayed and undamaged as possible, usually for stock that appears pristine in every way.  It has to be great for me to list it as such)

E+ Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets

E Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches

E- Still shiny but without the luster of a new record, few light scratches.

V+ is an average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.

V Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V- Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.

G+ Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.

G Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.

G- to P I don?t intend to list any records in this condition unless they are of a historic nature.

AUDIBLE GRADING SCALE (This is something I came up with because it?s what I?d personally want if I were buying from a dealer online).  For 78rpm records, I use an Audio Technica LP120 to do the sound grading.

Plays New: Just what you?d expect.  The record plays with virtually no surface noise other than the music.

Plays Just Below New: Slight static, barely perceptible.  If you have to think about if it plays new or just below new, it?s just below new.

Plays Average: A solid listen, albeit one with a certain acceptable amount of white noise in the background. 

Plays Below Average: Heavier white noise makes listening not as nice as higher audible grades.

Plays Like Crap: I won?t be selling any of these?
