CRAIG CHASE VINYL

Don (ccvinylman) Larter, Owner

General Policies 1. Honest, conservative play-grading,using a strong light, high quality stereo equipment and Goldmine standards (please see my ME site for reasons why I perform this time-consuming service for my customers). I emphasisize the sound of the record rather than the appearance of either the vinyl or the jacket (though appearance is taken into account):

Sealed = Unopened and unplayed; condition unknown NM+ = Near Mint Plus. Extraordinarily clean and quiet; may not have been played NM = Near Mint. Clean and quiet, regardless of scuffs or apparent defects NM- = Near Mint Minus. Less quiet than NM, with a bit more background noise regardless of its source. VG++ = Very good plus plus. Noisier than NM-; may say why. VG+ = Very good plus. Noisier than VG++; will say why.

2. Professional cleaning (again, please see my ME site for reasons why I perform this time-consuming service for my customers) of virtually every record and sleeve sold, by using proprietary methods that are extremely gentle and effective on records.
3. The offering of a wide variety of repertoire and genres, particularly classical, at many different price points.
4. Fair dealing, prompt and friendly communication, and speedy delivery.
5. My expecting payment within 10 days of purchase, unless negotiated otherwise.
6. A no-questions-asked return policy if our play-grades differ significantly. I will even refund the return shipping charges (though not the initial, to you, shipping charges).
7. Posting of positive feedback for high bidders who pay in a timely fashion (or who email me saying why they do not); posting of negative
