I am selling off my vinyls I've collected

They are all different grades of quality from very good to near mint some may be mint but will never grade as such

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

Vinyl = record

Audio = sound from record

Inner sleeve = inner cover for record

Cover = outer cover for record

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.

WARPS ON VINYLS:

A VINYL THAT DOESN’T LAY COMPLETELY FLAT OR HAS A SLIGHT WARP DOES NOT MAKE THE VINYL NON-PLAYABLE MOST VINYLS DO NOT LAY COMPLETELY FLAT AND MAY HAVE SLIGHT WARPS I WILL NOT SELL A VINYL IF THE WARP AFFECTS PLAY

THIS IS PURELY COSMETIC

THEREFORE I CANNOT ACCEPT A VINYL BACK DUE TO A MINOR WARP

SPINDLE WEAR:

MINOR SPINDLE WEAR DOES NOT MAKE THE VINYL A BAD VINYL AND THE VINYL CAN STILL BE A NEAR MINT VINYL DUE TO THIS AND I CANNOT ACCEPT AN ALBUM BACK BECAUSE OF THIS

THIS IS COSMETIC REMEMBER I NEVER STATE MY VINYLS ARE MINT

MINOR MARKS:

I CANNOT ACCOUNT FOR EVERY LIGHT MARK ON AN ALBUM COVER OR VINYL WHEN I GRADE IT IS A GENERAL GUIDE GRADING TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE OVERALL LOOK OF THE COVER, INNER SLEEVE AND VINYL

I CANNOT ACCEPT AN ALBUM BACK DUE TO ANY MINOR MARKS THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE PLAY OF THE RECORD OR THE OVERALL LOOK

PLEASE IF YOU ARE EXTREMELY PARTICULAR WITH THE OVERALL LOOK OF ALBUMS PLEASE ASK BEFORE HAND FOR EXTRA DETAIL AND I CAN PROVIDE THIS

OR PLEASE ZOOM INTO THE PICTURES

I CANNOT ACCEPT AN ALBUM BACK DUE TO THIS

YES IF I SELL AN ALBUM I HAVE CLASSED AS MINT WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE FAULTS I WILL HAVE THE ALBUM BACK AND FULLY REFUND

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 MOSTLY 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

PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION AND CHECK THE PHOTOS CAREFULLY

I CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS BECAUSE AN EXTRA WAS NOT WITH THE ALBUM AS THIS IS TOO COSTLY SORRY

PLEASE ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS BEFORE BUYING AND I WILL ANSWER QUICKLY AND HONESTLY SO YOU ARE NOT DISAPPOINTED WHEN THE ALBUM ARRIVES

THE GRADING I USE IS MAINLY VISUAL I CAN NOT PLAY EVERY ALBUM IF I PLAY THE ALBUM THIS WILL BE CLEARLY STATED IN THE DESCRIPTION AND THE AUDIO WILL BE DESCRIBED

I SELL MAINLY VERY GOOD TO MINT ALBUMS

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

IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH AN ALBUM PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST BEFORE PUTTING ANY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK AS I'M SURE ANY ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED BY TALKING

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
