Packaging Your Records
Records are packed in record album boxes with sufficient extra packing material. I take every reasonable precaution to securely pack your records. For older sleeves I will pack the vinyl in a separate sleeve to avoid splitting during shipping. Unfortunately though, once it is out of my hands, the USPS is sometimes careless in handling the package, especially Media Mail packages. Unless you choose Priority Mail, your package via Media Mail is NOT insured for loss or damage and any such claim would have to be made through the eBay Buyer Protection Plan with the USPS listed as AT FAULT.

Combined Shipping Discount

For Media Mail, first record is $5, .50 each item after that. One business day turnaround. Keep in mind that shipping fees include packaging materials and handling time. Priority Mail rates are actual USPS fee based on weight and your address so combined shipping is calculated by eBay., plus .50 handling fee per additional item when using Priority Mail. If there is an adjustment in your favor to shipping charges after your payment I will refund you the savings. Place items in your cart and request a total before checking out. If you prefer  a different shipping method, please contact me before completing your transaction and request the total and I will make the adjustment. But be advised when selecting Media Mail, any damage or loss due to USPS mishandling is not covered by USPS and you will have to seek a refund from eBay with their Buyer Protection Plan with the USPS listed as AT FAULT. 

International Shipping

International buyers take note, you will pay the initial postage to have it shipped to the eBay International Shipping Center in Kentucky, and an additional amount to get it to you overseas. eBay calculates the entire cost and adds it to your purchase before checkout. Be advised, once it arrives at the Shipping Center it is completely OUT OF MY CONTROL and I will not cover any loss or damage after that.

Returns

I accept returns if you are not satisfied with your record purchase. See the "Returns" conditions for details. I do NOT pay for return shipping. On some occasions I will not accept returns for a record that is very rare. I cannot take the chance that someone will buy it, swap out the vinyl and then ship it back. Sorry, that happened once and I cannot allow it to happen again. Records listed as "No Returns Accepted" fall into this category. So please look at the pics carefully before you purchase it and contact me if you want me to play test  expensive records before you purchase them.

Visual Record Grading (Vinyl/Cover)

In the end, record grading is a subjective process, so please take everything into account: the description, the pictures, and the visual grade before making your purchase. I make every attempt to grade accurately but one man's VG+ might be another person's VG. Please read the grade definitions carefully below.

All records are cleaned with Disc Doctor Miracle Record Cleaner and inspected and visually graded for condition using a modified Goldmine Record Grading System (see below) before being listed. I do not have the time to test play every record, but if you are seriously interested in a rare or expensive record please contact me and I will play test it for you first. I try to include pictures of potentially penetrating scratches and spot check playing the worse looking ones.

I have an excellent feedback rating and many people comment that my record grading is very accurate. If you receive your record and disagree with my description please contact me prior to leaving feedback and we will work out a return or partial refund if you decide to keep it.
 
Sealed (S)

Sealed but that does not mean Mint because there may be hidden damage to the vinyl that will only be known if you open it.
    
Near Mint (NM)  

In layman's terms, a Near Mint record means overall it looks like you just bought it at the record store new but it may have one or two very minor flaws, do not expect it to be perfect and without any minor flaws.

The record should show no obvious signs of wear.

An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.

Basically, an LP in near mint condition nearly looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

Excellent (EX)

I include an EX rating for records that overall look NM, that is they look like you just bought them new with original sheen and luster but they may have a few minor surface "marks" or surface "scuffs" or even one or two hairlines, but DO NOT effect playback. The covers also look new but may have a few very minor flaws such as a ding on a conner, or very very minor ring wear but otherwise looks almost brand new. These records and covers fall in between VG+ and NM.

Very Good Plus (VG+)  

A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.

Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and will have some slight scuffs or very light "hairline" scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences other than an occasional pop or tick. There may be some crackling especially during quiet passages and in between tracks but generally does not over power the music, it may be reduced after professionally deep cleaned. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".

The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.

Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.

In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be EX. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.

Very Good (VG)  

Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise and crackling will be evident upon playing and persistent during soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, and will sometimes overpower the music. Groove wear will start to be more noticeable, losing most of the original sheen and luster, and with numerous light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will occasionally affect the sound. There may even be one or two deeper scratches that cause pops and minor skips.

Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers, showing more pronounced ring, edge, and corner wear and ding, and shelf wear which looks like "snow" on the front and sometimes even the back cover. Thee may be a seam split as well.  However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+)  
    
Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without major skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, crackling, and scratches and visible groove wear with most of the original sheen gone and the overall look of the vinyl being flat and dull.

A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Ring wear, shelf wear "snow" and other defects will start to overwhelm the object.

It is a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But, if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it...but keep looking to upgrade.
    
I only list items that have a G or G+ rating for either the cover or the vinyl but not both. It is intended for people who are seeking to replace just one of these, but not both. You have a fine record but you need to replace the cover or vice versa.

Poor (P) 

The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon.

Except for impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, records in this condition should be bought or sold for no more than a few cents each.

I only list items that have a P rating for either the cover or the vinyl but not both. It is intended for people who are seeking to replace just one of these, but not both. You have a fine record but you need to replace the cover or vice versa.
