Vinyl Care/Preparation
• I hand-clean every vinyl listed using L'Art Du Son cleaning solution using a goat-hair vinyl brush and suitable cloths and vacuuming off the liquid. This removes old grease, dust etc. to improve the playback quality. This does sometimes leave residue marks, but these don't affect play.
• Once cleaned, I 'buff' the Vinyl using a very soft cleaning-cloth, then place it into an anti-static black sleeve. This sleeve is supplied with the Vinyl you buy.
• I also carefully clean and dry the Vinyl outer sleeves to remove old finger marks, dirt and dust. Once done the sleeves are placed into a PVC sleeve to keep them nice and clean, they are shipped with the plastic sleeve.
• Vinyls are then listened to end-to-end before grading, in order to make sure they don't skip etc. BEWARE VISUAL-ONLY GRADINGS...some Vinyls that look Near Mint to the eye have skips, others that look marked play near-perfectly. I've learned that you can't grade a Vinyl without listening to it :)
• Finally, I take lots of pics and rip the Vinyl to digital - free download provided for digital collection if you'd like this.
• All of the above is done to help buyers be sure of what they are getting before they spend hard-earned money! For this reason, I am not the cheapest on eBay and don't want to be. All offers are considered but please don't expect me to give stuff away :)
Shipping & Payment
• Well packaged in stiff, thick card mailer + Stiffeners for protection.
• Vinyl will be removed from inner and securely packed during shipping to prevent splits.
• I combine shipping cost for multiple purchases - please contact me to let me know before paying and I will give you a quote.
Please note eBay & Paypal charge me 15% fees on shipping cost. I have to pass this on, so the shipping label will have a slightly lower value than you paid..sorry but I can't do anything about this.
