I use eBay's Global Shipping Program for some of my listings. I require a minimum $25 purchase for international album sales.

****Notes on vinyl grading/pricing:****

A majority of the popular records I list will all start at $.99 as an auction. Obscure private pressings, rare items like white label promos, and classical albums will usually run as an auction, but have a higher start price. The same applies to lots of box sets. Some records will be listed as BIN because of their lesser popularity and market conditions.

I am usually quite open to offers on most items. Sometimes I may not have a best offer option, but if you are interested in several items, I will give good discounts. I have over 5,000 albums that all need to go!

Most records are visually graded, but I do play grade quite often. Look to above description. I will usually comment on play quality if I do play test it.

I use Mint/SS>NM>EX>VG w/ + or - variations>GOOD>FAIR>POOR

Mint/SS (Still Sealed): 99.9% of the listings that have a mint grading will be sealed records. I only have 3-4 opened records that I would grade as mint/unplayed. I will use "Mint-" for sealed records that have a split in the shrink.

NM: Record and sleeve will look like it was just opened. Sleeve may have some VERY minor wear from handling/age. No visible ring wear. Very, very few to no spindle marks.

EX: Vinyl may have superficial visible flaws. Very slight paper scuffs or similar. No discernable audio degradation. Sleeve will have few minor flaws like a spine crease or a corner push

VG+: Vinyl will have some noise from dust or very few minor surface scratches not felt with fingernail. Sleeves may have some very slight ring wear or a seam split barely starting on the corners.

VG: Vinyl will have "tickers". A slight tick that can be heard on a few passes during play, but doesn't overly detract from audio. Still no scratches should be felt with fingernail. Sleeve will still have good cover art, but splits or ring wear may be detracting.

VG-:  Vinyl will have "poppers". These are the noises that stand out from the audio rather noticeably. These can be felt with a fingernail. Spindle wear and excessive signs of use will indicate degradation of audio quality. Seam splits are problematic, but will vary. Read item details for specifics on grading.

GOOD: Plays through, but with considerable noise. Vinyl will be losing its gloss. Surface scuffs, scratches, and heavy play wear may be apparent. Sleeve will have obvious ring wear, minor staining, or a seam that will likely need repair.

FAIR: Plays through for the most part, but may skip depending on the table it's played on. This could be due to warp or scratches. Sleeve will fall into about the same condition as GOOD. I only use FAIR to differentiate if the vinyl skips.
 

POOR: Vinyl has several skips or a "looper". Dull vinyl. Sleeve has splits on most sides. Record may be cracked or warped. Audio is heavily distorted. Sleeve is split on multiple sides. Only about 1/4000 records I list would fall into this category. They are strictly collection fillers like incredibly rare Blue Notes or 78s.

 

**Sealed Records** <<<READ ME>>>

Sealed records are *assumed* to be MINT. While I've sold over 100 sealed records, I had one that had a microscopic bump in one groove that caused a skip. I've even purchased modern vinyl for my collection that has imperfections right out of the package (my Macklemore "Heist" clear vinyl).

Some sealed albums have been floating around storage for 50+ years. Who knows what conditions they've been exposed to.

For obvious reasons, I don't take returns on opened vinyl that is sold as "sealed". It has to be still sealed.

So if you intend to open the vinyl, and would like me to verify its condition before I ship it, please contact me.

 

****Shipping Policies:****

I use USPS as my preferred carrier. I only use FedEx or UPS for oversize and heavy items. Games, movies and DVDs are sent first class USPS. Vinyls are sent via media mail. Basically, if it's over 13oz, but under 3 pounds, it's mailed via Priority Mail. If the item is over 3 pounds, it will likely be sent via Parcel Post.

I use eBay's shipping calculator to price almost every item other than records. No additional handling charges are added.

I normally don't insert a packing slip in with the item. I feel that most people just throw them away, so why waste the paper? If you would like a packing slip, please ask for one in the "notes" section during checkout.

****Feedback policy: **** 
Feedback is a great way for the community to buy with confidence. My idea of feedback is that it's the buyer that really needs to be the happy one. So, following that principle, if you're happy with your purchase, I'm happy with your payment. I find that only about 10-20% of buyers leave feedback at all. Please take the time to leave me feedback and I will quickly and gladly do the same for you. If a buyer leaves me feedback, I return feedback almost immediately. If the buyer hasn't left feedback after 30 days, I assume they are pleased with the item, and I leave positive feedback.

****Conditions of sale:****

PayPal only. Continental US only. **see below** 

I expect payment within 3 days of the end of the auction.  All my items are in working condition unless otherwise stated. I do my absolute best to test everything I own. Items are sold as-is. Again, I test everything to the best of my ability. I will specifically mention something in the listing if i can't. (E.G. A feature that is only controllable by remote control and I'm missing the remote.) If for some reason you feel you need to return something, remember that the buyer is responsible for return shipping. Also, I will not refund the purchase until the buyer cancels the transaction through the resolution center. These are all eBay "best practices". Please understand. I value my score and want to keep it. Please contact me if you have any problems before leaving negative or even neutral feedback. Email with questions or for more pictures, and I will try to answer ASAP.  

International buyers:
I try to ship only to the US, but if you are interested in international shipping let me know and I'll see what I can do. HOWEVER, I only ship priority mail international.
