Because of the current "stay at home policy" and travel restrictions I will be visiting my Post Office to ship my parcels only two days a week, Tuesday and Friday. This will remain in effect until the pandemic crisis is under control. Thank you for your courtesy and understanding. ALSO, I thank all the Postal employees for staying on the job and doing such an amazing job of delivering my customers parcels in a safe and timely manner. I can't imagine the negative impact to our economy if the USPS shut down even for a short period. Please, give them your support and thanks!

RECORD GRADING LP'S

I place emphasis on play grade, maintain the highest professional standards, do spot check play grading on all individual auction items and always provide an accurate visual grade and label appearance. I play grade on a quality system with a high end cartridge in order to maintain a strict and undisguised play grade. I always keep my grading simple and fair and will not subject my customers to a proliferation of meaningless grades. If a record plays between two grades I always apply the lesser grade, I don't create a grade in an attempt to articulate a borderline evaluation.
nm....near mint, superb play quality with little to no signs of visual wear and plays with little to no extraneous noise. The only records that qualify for a "mint" grade on my listings are my new unplayed and unhandled store stock items.
vg+...very good plus, excellent play quality with minor use and little to no overall visual wear. Any minor scuffs, light surface scratches, or blemishes do not effect play and play grade may have some very minor extraneous area noise.
vg....very good, very playable, probably with some extraneous surface noise. A slightly mishandled or well used record. May have visual scratches or blemish. I generally do not auction vg albums unless they are exceptional pieces and highly sought after items. Most vg albums I will include in bulk lots.

I use standard record grading abbreviations and include cover grade within each description. I open, clean and inspect all suspect sealed older albums. 

Grading is very subjective and everyone has their position on determining various grades. I stand by my grading as stated within grading details above, but there are always those who have unrealistic high expectations. Please understand that many of my vinyl records are 20 to 60 years old. In my experience I have rarely found vinyl of this vintage that, under extreme scrutiny, does not have a hairline scuff, mark, blemish or manufacturing smudge. Realistic expectations when buying vintage records should be applied.  If you have a problem, contact me and explain exactly what the issue is, please don't regrade the album. 

GUARANTEE

Retail music is my full time occupation. Your satisfaction is important to me. I guarantee everything I sell and will be cooperative and understanding towards any of my valued customers who genuinely feel I may have not maintained my grading standards, have overlooked a flaw or manufacturing defect, or have mistakenly misrepresented an item. Buyer must initiate return process as specified within eBay. Returned item must be received in same condition as originally shipped. I will always conduct my business in a fair, courteous and respectful manner towards all my valued customers.
