Welcome to our eBay store: 

 

We have been buying & selling vinyl for over 43 years from our retail location in El Paso, Texas.  We offer rare or obscure items with national or worldwide interest outside our regional marketplace.  Because our records are offered to general consumers and not collectors specifically, we have opted-out of using the Goldmine standard grading scale.  Instead, over the years, we’ve developed our own simplified and generalized grading, which is an honest, no-nonsense and detailed description of the vinyl combined with detailed and close-up photography.  Vinyl is described first followed by jacket condition. We believe our system avoids the confusion for newer collectors or buyers unfamiliar with Goldmine or plus and minus symbols.  According to your browser or phone application, be sure to view all twelve photos usually associated with each listing to see our entire presentation.

 

                                                                               GRADING

 VG – Very Good - Appears Like-New.  Possibly un-played or once-played.

·        G - Good – Clean, minimally-played and carefully-handled.  Minimal handling & wear.  May include very faint usage or handling traces but retains original glossy-shine.

·        FG – Fairly Good – Normal to average wear. May include stray, scattered hairlines and/or mild, cosmetic scuffing-blemishes which will not affect playback.

·        F – Fair – Heavier wear and scuffing, but acceptable for playback.

·        P – Poor - May include one, some, or all of the following characteristics:  Heavy groove-wear, pronounced scratches, scuffing, or other marks, dirt & wear.  Records in this category are offered because of their rarity and collectability at a heavily discounted price and may be useful for artwork, liner notes, or academic research.

 

Audiophile or discriminating collectors are encouraged to consider only records in our Very Good or Good categories. 

After extensive evaluation & research, all records are priced at competitive fair market value for their designated condition. Therefore, we do not consider solicitations for “better offers.”  These inquiries may go unanswered, as all items are periodically considered for repricing. Higher demand items are offered for auction.  Our descriptions are based on our own generalized visual grading standards.  With due respect to future buyers, we do not play-test records unless specifically requested by a serious potential buyer. 

     Because we are a retail store, we process most orders within minutes or hours of receipt during regular business hours.  With the exception of Sundays & holidays, all orders are delivered to the main airport post office by 8 PM MST.

All records are professionally packed, and unless factory-sealed, are shipped separately from their sleeves & jackets. 

U.S. customers can receive free Media Mail shipping when purchasing 3 or more items from our store. Otherwise, these general shipping rules for U.S. customers apply:

·         1 item – regular media mail shipping – usually about $4.00 per single LP

    ·       2 items – pay the same price as the 1st item only – please commit to your purchase & await our final invoice for this offer.  If the eBay cart indicates shipping charges for two items, please finish the sale.  Upon processing, we will automatically refund the shipping on the second item.

    ·       3+ items – free shipping on entire shipment – Considered a “promotional shipping offer” for eBay stores.   eBay instructs buyers to add the items to your shopping cart.  Free shipping will automatically be applied to your final invoice.  Again, if eBay inadvertently charges the shipping, we will refund the entire shipping cost automatically.

Legitimate claims for adjustments on overpayments can be requested and will be refunded through the eBay managed payments system.

Orders within the United States are shipped via USPS Media Mail.  Foreign orders less than 4 pounds are shipped USPS First Class Mail International, otherwise Priority USPS International Mail.  Check USPS.com for rates to your country.  Contact us ahead of payment if you prefer an alternate shipping option.   For sales on multiple items, please commit to your purchases and await our final invoice for exact combined shipping costs to your location.  We will strive to find you the most economical option. We do not profit from shipping charges.  Payment within 48 hours is appreciated.  Please advise us if you are awaiting an ending-auction for combined payment, or if your payment will otherwise be delayed.
