FAQs

What is your Testing Process?

We use a three point testing process - Clean, Visually Grade, Play-Test.  Larger collections may only be visually tested until sale.  Allow 1 day for play-testing larger collections.  If we find a skip or VG quality we will disclose and offer a refund if already paid or if not, we will contact you and see if there is still interest after disclosure.  We always state either Play-Tested, Visual Tested or Spot Tested.

How do you Clean your Records?

We use a ultra-sonic cleaning machine using a solution specific for vinyl with a follow up use of a Microfiber towel.

What are surface marks?

Surface marks are light surface scratch marks or smudge marks that cannot be felt by the finger, does not include deep groove marks. 

What is the difference between a "Reissue" and "First Pressing/Original Pressing"

First Press/Original Press - An original pressing typically refers to a vinyl record that was made from the initial batch of lacquers in the production process and cut from the original master recordings. These are the definitive editions and best sounding records.  Generally more expensive.  Reissue - A reissue pressing is a record that has been re-released, usually a while after the album was originally produced.  The original back of lacquers may or may not be used and usually involves a change in some form (redesigned label, colored vinyl, etc.).  These are more plentiful but oftentimes lose the richness and quality of the original pressing and in some cases are even recordings from another media (such as a CD).

Are Pictures Actual or Stock?

Pictures are actual not stock.  They are part of the description of your item.  Generic Record Covers are as pictured, not graded.  Usually media is VG+ or better, often reduced pricing.

Do you Grade Inner Sleeves?

No, however original, known inner sleeves will be stated.  If not original we will include the inner sleeve as we received it, even if has minor wear.  We strive to preserve the actual record and sleeves exactly as received.  Extremely torn, damaged or no inner sleeve will be given our generic inner sleeves.  Some inner sleeves may have taped on edges to ensure the record does not fall out.

Do you Sell Covers Only?  

Yes!  We strongly support recycling whenever we can!  We have several listings on eBay for our Covers Only inventory and update those listings regularly.  These can be found searching a song title, artist or using "Covers Only" in an eBay search bar.  We strongly encourage you to register as a "Watcher" so you can be updated when we update our database!

About Us

Diana Lynn's Vinyls has been selling gently used media nationwide for several years across multiple cities and towns!  We started our venture with only two of us, scouring garage sales, flea markets and estate sales to find vintage, unique media.  Both of us driven by memories of favorite times from our childhood years - remembering days gone by, favorite songs that made us laugh, sigh in attraction, maybe party a little too much, dance a little too much or even cry a little too much.  We began to wonder as we made these discoveries, how many other people had those same special memories when times in their lives were just "different".  How many of us were there that wanted to pass along a piece of those memories to their children or even grandchildren!  Sure, we knew Apple Music, Spotify and Pandora were readily available but songs on tangible media were different.  They were the artist belting out their music in raw form or they were special collections of multiple artists that were not easily matched simply by creating play-lists! Or alas, they were live recordings from a concert-reminding us how the songs were played, how they brought us a great feeling of excitement  when the first note was struck or the first electric guitar hit the stage, electronics lighting up the darkened arena!

We have grown to now house over 2,000 pieces of media, everything from 8-Tracks to Vinyl!  Our collections have grown to cross multiple eras and genres!  We have developed proven processes and grading standards that have become more and more precise over the years.  All earning us very high positive feedback from our customers! Today we enjoy a great reputation for selling used, quality media that meets the descriptions they are afforded and make it to our customers, fast and seamlessly.

As we close - we want to express our sincerest "thank you" for passing by and taking a look at our shop.  We hope you have found something in our inventory that has brought back those special memories of days gone by when life was just "different".
