Sorry I can not send to South America too many parcels going missing

Please read below:

PLEASE READ MY TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW:

I use the following guide:

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:

"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

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, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

Hairline marks, It is almost impossible to find any non-sealed record without any hairline marks, many had them from new, especially if sold with paper or cardboard inner sleeves. They are a result of storage and use and have little impact on sound quality. Also, very few original vinyl records lie totally flat. As regards background noise, all records will have some background noise which differs and often reflects the very variable pressing quality. I only draw attention to marks, warping or background noise in my listings if I consider them significant. You can still have an near mint or excellent vinyl with sleeve removal or hairline marks it is just the degree of the marks that can vary for the grading.

Please if you are the sort who uses a version of the Hubble space telescope and a World War Two Colditz castle search light to check Vinyls and album covers with, then don’t buy from me. I use my eyes and the sun reflecting through my window to check my Vinyls and on the odd occasion a torch.

This does not mean I sell bad Vinyls I just am no fanatic when it comes to records I love records and I know what looks good, very good, excellent and near mint and sometimes there may be an odd scratch hairline or sleeve removal mark. If something does not affect play I won’t necessarily state it in my description. I also won’t note every scuff crease etc as most of the albums I sell can be 40 - 50 years old. Albums do age with time unless sealed in a climate controlled nuclear bunker from new.

Please look at the photos very carefully and ask questions before buying. See my feedback I do sell good albums.

PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVES, PICTURES, POSTCARDS, BOOKLETS OR OTHER EXTRAS THAT WOULD OF COME WITH THE ITEM WHEN BRAND NEW

THE RECORDS I SELL ARE ORIGINALS SO CAN BE UP TO 20 - 50 YEARS OLD SO MORE THAN OFTEN MAY NOT BE COMPLETE

WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTOS AND WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE DESCRIPTION IS WHAT YOU ARE BUYING

I AM BEING AS HONEST AS I CAN WITH THE ALBUMS

IF AN ALBUM HAS A SCUFF OR LIGHT SCRATCH I WILL PLAY THROUGH THAT AREA AS A MATTER OF COURSE TO GRADE APPROPRIATELY

GRADINGS ARE SUBJECTIVE TO THE VIEWER AND I WILL NEVER GRADE A POOR FAIR OR GOOD ALBUM AS VERY GOOD EXCELLENT OR NEAR MINT ALBUM

I DO HAVE FULL TIME JOB THAT TAKES UP A LOT OF MY TIME SO MAY NOT RESPOND TO YOU STRAIGHT AWAY SOMETIMES PLEASE ALLOW 24HRS FOR A RESPONSE IF I DON'T RESPOND IT IS BECAUSE I MAY BE BUSY NOT BECAUSE I AM IGNORING YOU
