See also Record Grading Notes below. Please read all notes and policies before bidding / buying...

Record Grading Notes Clean all records before playing for best results. Do not assume that your record is thoroughly clean when you receive it.
Records are not generally "play graded" beyond spot tests of potentially problematic areas, unless the listing suggests otherwise.
78rpm records are never play graded (unable to do so at the moment). Below are grading guidelines. Please review our feedback and trust that we try to grade records conservatively, and as accurately as possible. If there is a problem with any record, please let us know.

10:

is unopened and/or looks fairly untouched.

9:

vinyl appears fairly pristine, might have a few insignificant marks which should not affect play appreciably. Cover might show slight signs of handling or age.

8:

has some scattered light marks on otherwise glossy vinyl which will likely produce minor and/or infrequent noise. A very nice play, not perfect. Cover has some clear signs of handling and/or age and maybe a mild version of some of the defects listed under 6 below.

7:

will show many light marks and/or scuffs and/or scratches, some of which will definitely produce intermittent audible noise which will be heard through the music to varying degree. Vinyl may be somewhat dull. A fairly decent but flawed play. Cover shows a combination of mild to moderate symptoms of the defects listed under 6 below.

6:

shows general wear on vinyl including loss of lustre and scuffs and scratching. It is assumed that many of these marks will produce frequent audible noise which can be heard easily through the music. Overall this is an obviously flawed but still somewhat enjoyable play. Cover will show some or all of the following defects to varying degree: edge wear/scaling, seam splits, ring wear/rub, bent corners, creases, graphic blemishes, stickers present and/or removed.

5:

will show general significant scuffing and scratching on vinyl, with easily audible noise almost throughout. Cover shows many aggravated symptoms of the defects listed under 6 above. 5 is the lowest I will sell for LP's, and only in cases of special interest or rarity. I do sell 45's in this condition and less.

Paypal is accepted. Other methods can be used. Please inquire if you would like to pay by other means. If you have purchased multiple items please wait for an invoice so proper shipping discounts can be applied! other important seller info:

We are an eBay seller specializing in Vinyl of all types and genres. We do sell many other items, music related and otherwise, but the primary focus is VINYL, through which we have built up most of our great feedback over the last 15 years.
Vinyl or otherwise, in all of our listings we try to provide clear and succinct verbal documentation, and extensive photographic documentation, so that prospective customers can make informed decisions about bidding / buying. That will often necessarily include a subjective assessment of the condition of the item, however the known facts and the photos should speak for themselves.
We hope that the photos in each listing will give bidders a general idea of the appearance and quality of an item. None of the photos has been altered in any manner, and the photos included in each listing depict the actual item being auctioned, unless noted otherwise.
Any prospective customer should review our feedback page and bid / buy with confidence, as many hundreds of others have done over the past 15 years.
We get many return customers. We hope you will be another. If you have questions about anything, PLEASE ASK! Thanks for looking.
