Audio Condition:
I visually grade my records and then spot test how they play. I do not listen to the entire record before selling it, but I do listen to both sides at frequent intervals (generally 3 to 4 sections on each side) in order to get an overall feel of how the record plays.
Gigli (Burnt Orange): Moderate, significant audio crackle.
The Young Gigli (Red Clay): Moderate audio crackle.
Duets and Arias (Mint Green): Light audio crackle.

Combined Shipping:
I do offer discounts for combined shipping when buying multiple records! I'm still trying to figure out the best way to have Ebay apply it since I do offer free shipping. In the meantime, if you're interested in buying multiple records, just shoot me a message (before purchasing), and I'll get that sorted for you!
Additionally, I have a number of other classical records for sale. Some are up now and others will be put up in the near future. Feel free to send me a message if you’re interested in buying several of them and would like to negotiate a group rate for them. I am definitely open to that!
Please let me know if you have any questions!
