I encourage buyers to make offers on multiple-record purchases. You can always send me an e-mail with your offer and if I accept it, I will change the selling in the listing so you can buy it at that amount. I am ready to deal with you for reasonable offers! I moved away from allowing buyers to make offers as a result of the disappointing fact that more often than not, it seems buyers make ridiculously low offers without regard to the record’s value or without any regard to making the transaction equitable for both of us. I want to sell records not give them away.
Every record gets my TLC. I have a 30+ dealers with whom I work who let me into their ‘back room personal storage collections’ and I negotiate the best deals with them for purchase.
Each record is cleaned with a VPI machine using the ONLY record cleaning procedure that really works; first the VPI nylon brush followed by the MoFi pad and always saturating the disc with the cleaning fluid. Contrary to the nonsense that I read so often from so many sellers, a record-cleaning machine is not a magic elixir; the only way to get dirt and grit out of the grooves is the repetition of the play the record and then clean it again and again and again. The key to restoring a ‘dirty’ record is making sure that the ticks, and pops are from impacted dirty NOT scratches. If the disc has little or no scratches you have an excellent chance of restoring it by following the above procedure. Anyone who is serious about records needs to have a VPI or a Nitty Gritty otherwise you are destroying them.
Records are played as time permits but most are graded visually under a strong light.
After sale they could be played again if time permits.
The records are boxed in approved mailers using bubble wrap with records in the MoFi archival sleeves (offered to you at NO COST) and stored outside the jacket between the jacket back and the outer sleeve.
I am always here to help you either what a record you want or service after you have bought. You just gotta ask.
Each record is graded visually unless I specifically state that I have played it.
