Shipping Policy: U.S. ONLY

No global shipping (sorry)

I will be sure to ship items as soon as I receive the notification saying it has sold, give me at least a day to print shipping labels and send. Occasionally, I go away on certain weekends. If it’s on a weekend that I’m not home and you have seen that the shipping label wasn’t printed yet, not to worry, I will have the package sent by Monday. I only go through USPS for shipping. If there is an error, I will call USPS to try and locate the package. Shipping does not include insurance unless, under my discretion, it is priced with a buy it now price of over $50.00 or bidding exceeds $50.00. Please note that priority mail includes insurance up to $50.00. All albums have been cleaned using a solution of half ISO Alcohol (90%) and distilled water. Albums are always shipped in a sturdy cardboard mailer. Vinyl is separated from the jacket and placed behind jacket in a protective outer sleeve to ensure that seam splits don’t happen. Regular items are shipped in basic or recycled boxes which may have a logo or writing on the box.

Please contact for special requests IMMEDIATELY with sent payment. 

Returns/Refunds

Please remember, as best as I try to ship items and get them to my customers in time, there may be a problem beyond my control. Do not be alarmed, the last thing I want to do is neglect customers. At the same time, I do not want to deal with anger or negative feedback. I will not give refunds unless the item is damaged during transit or doesn’t arrive and I need DETAILED photos showing the damage on the item as well as the damage to cardboard/packaging materials. Demanding a refund will not get you a refund. Before I give a refund, the package must be on its way back to me with a provided tracking number. If the package does not arrive, there is a wait of 2 full weeks after sending from my town to make sure the package isn’t just on its way to you. If 2 weeks goes by and the package hasn’t been delivered or something odd happens in the tracking area, I will report it to USPS. You will not get a refund until the report comes back.

The following is the VISUAL grading scale I use, based on Goldmine's standards:

Mint [M]: Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.

Near Mint [NM or M-]: A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record shows no obvious sign of wear. A 45 rpm sleeve has no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, and the like. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

Excellent or Very Good (EX or VG++) Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked.

Very Good Plus [VG+]: Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK.

The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket my have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.

Very Good [VG]: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.

Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.

Good [G], Good Plus [G+]: A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear.

A jacket or sleeve has seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.       

Poor [P], Fair [F]: The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and/or writing. The LP jacket barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, and written upon.
