INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS MUST PLEASE CONTACT FIRST BEFORE BIDDING, THANKS!




SHIPPING (USA)

1 LP: $4.00 + .25/additional

1-3 45's: $3.50 + .15/additional

Will combine shipping costs for multiple items won and purchased at the same time. Shipping cost is just 25 cents more for each additional record! (If you are only ordering 1 record, and it is a double LP, it only counts as 1, but if you are ordering multiple records, double LP's count as 2)

Every record we send out is well packed with the record outside of the cover, in the inner sleeve, and both the cover and record next to each other inside of a protective plastic outer sleeve, sandwiched between cardboard stiffeners. We also use custom-cut, strong 14x14 boxes rather than smaller and flimsier standard record mailers, so that you receive your records in the same conditions as described, and without damage from transit!

International bidders please contact me first before bidding, for shipping rates

 

GRADING

I grade all of my records conservatively, and according to the Goldmine grading guide

MINT: Only used for sealed LPs.

NM: A nearly perfect record. No obvious signs of wear to vinyl or cover. I very rarely give this grade for a record

VG+: Vinyl will have light scuffs or marks that don't hinder playback. Cover may show some light wear (small seam split, minor stain, minor ring-wear, etc.) Some people use the term EX, for me it is the same as VG+

VG: Vinyl will have visible, often mild surface wear that may result in some light surface noise. Cover will have noticeable wear (ring-wear, light tape, minor tears, splits, etc.)

G+: Vinyl will have moderate to heavy scuffing that should cause no skips, but a fair amount of surface noise. Cover will have extensive wear (heavy tape, tears, etc.)

G: Vinyl will have very heavy scuffing and some deep scratches. It might play with a skip or two. Cover will show major wear.

POOR - Vinyl is borderline unplayable. Expect possible skips and jumps. Cover will have major defects. 

 

 

ALL LPs ARE VISUALLY GRADED UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE!
