POSTAGE AND PACKAGING COSTS
I charge my customers only the actual cost of postage and packaging. There will therefore be a significant discount for multiple purchases where I am able to combine a number of LPs into one package. Postage will depend upon the value, size and weight of the items involved so if you are planning to purchase more than one record do let me know and wait for me to send you an invoice with the postage discount deducted.

RECORD GRADING

Condition is expressed as follows, but please note most albums will have the occasional pop and crackle, as this is the nature of vinyl:

NEAR MINT: The record appears like new but is known to have been played perhaps because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, with some distortion and clearly visible scratches. The cover/box and the contents suffer from folding, tears and scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
