Shipping:

Combined Shipping:  I can combine shipping!  Many times it means I can ship more records U.S. for a lower cost than if paid for individually.  

***** Please let me know you will be bidding on other items so I can give you a correct lower postage price on the final invoice.  Please WAIT to pay the final invoice. 

International bidders - Combined shipping will be only based on weight, so I will need to know how many items are bought before sending invoice. 

International Shipping:  I ship using e-Bay’s International Standard Delivery.  This sends the item to a shipping center in the U.S. and they send it off from there. 

If you would like to change the shipping preference please let me know.   

And as always, I do not change values on customs labels. Thank you. 

VJ'S VINYL GRADING SYSTEM:

(based on Goldmine) 

If graded Mint - never used, once a record is opened, the top you can get is mint minus.

If graded Mint Minus - A great record, one or two fine hairline scuffs, sounds flawless. A mint minus record can "play" mint. Covers are new looking, may have shrink.

If graded Excellent - Can have faint hairline scuffs that do no affect play. Can have very minor infrequent crackling. Minor bumps in the cover.

If graded VG+ - Scuffs can be more prevalent, with a little more surface noise. If it visually has more scuffs but plays great, I will note that. Still, a very fine and playable copy. Covers have minor age and shelf wear. 

If graded VG - Can have lots of hairline scuffs, and maybe one or two scratches. Surface noise more prevalent with some popping in spots. Covers have more extensive age and shelf wear. Minor splits.

If graded VG minus - More in the way of scratches and surface noise is NOT infrequent. Still, a viable copy. Covers may have splits. 

If graded G+ - only reserved for a very rare or popular record. Very noisy, maybe some skips, scratches are evident. Covers are trashed. 

If graded STILL SEALED - I will grade the vinyl as "still sealed." That means it's probably mint minus because I do not know if there was any factory defects. 

If reported to have Hairline scuffs -  light yet visible. Cannot be felt with the skin of your finger. 

If stated to have Scratches - Can be felt.

If reported, Age wear - on a cover is either fading or yellowing. 

If reported, Shelf wear - is ring wear, corner bumps, or fraying.

If I am on the fence between grades, I will go with the lower one. 

I will not use VG++ etc., but will say that a record is a "strong" VG+.
