***PLEASE NOTE*** WE ACCEPT PAYPAL PAYMENTS FOR VERIFIED/CONFIRMED CUSTOMERS ONLY.  

SHIPPING*** As you ALL are aware, the USPS/U.S. Post Office raised its rates 7-10% again on Jan.16th, 2016. Unfortunately, for the first time in almost 10 years, we will be forced to raise our shipping rates as well. It also does not help matters when Ebay takes an additional 10% fee of your postage.

RECORD GRADES:  These grades are for records, not covers. See entire description above for other grading details. Covers will be graded differently and can be seen in the photos with the magnifying glass for your inspection. I will not be observing covers in depth for “dings” and “creases,”  but will obviously describe any major flaws,splits,writing. Please see the item description and photos for your inspection. And by all means,please ask if you have a specific question regarding any record,cover,sleeve,insert.

MINT: Sealed. Only sealed, NEW items will receive this grade. We entirely disagree with all of the Ebay sellers who say their “opened” and “used” records are “MINT” or worse, “STONE MINT.” It is impossible by definition alone. Any open item is no longer “new” and therefore no longer “mint.” It's pretty simple.

NM: A record that may only have slight pressing or handling imperfections. Few to no surface hairlines or scuffs. Plays thoroughly without sticks or skips. Little to no surface noise.

VG++: Visual and/or audio signs of play, but still well taken care of. May have a few surface hairlines,scuffs or surface scratches that do not affect play. Plays thoroughly without skips or sticks. May have a bit of light, intermittent surface noise in between tracks or in quieter passages.

VG+: Visual and/or audio signs of more significant play or handling. May have more significant surface marks, but none tactile. Plays thoroughly with or without an intermittent tick and some surface noise, but not overpowering the music. May have a stick or skip. Still, a very listenable item.

VG: Similar to VG+, but a greater number of surface marks. May have a stick or skip. Still, a listenable item.

VG-: Significant visual and audio wear. Will play with varying or constant surface noise. May have one or more significant or tactile (feelable) marks likely causing a tick, skip, or stick once or more during play. Mostly reserved for very rare or scarce items as a “starter” copy of a very hard to find item.

G: Not good, and unless wholesaled mainly for the covers, not a grade that is particularly used.

 We DO combine items for a multi-item shipping discount! 

CLASSIC ROCK, JAZZ, R&B, & POP ALBUMS THIS WEEK! 

DEAR VALUED EBAY CUSTOMERS: You NEED to know that PAYPAL is the way to go!! Pay for your item(s) using Paypal, and there is a very good chance that we will ship within 24 hours of your payment; sometimes SAME DAY if payment is received early enough during Eastern Standard Time business hours. The reason for this is because your Paypal payment is often immediately reflected in “real time,” in our account; 24 hours a days, 7 days a week. However, if you choose any of the other “Ebay Managed Payment Options,” there is a very good chance that your item will not ship for at least 4 BUSINESS days, which could turn out to be a week's time, counting weekends and holidays. We will not ship any item, regardless of payment, until it is confirmed received in our account and Ebay's latest payment policy changes allows them to take up to 4 business days to deposit your payment(s) into our account. So once again.....you NEED to know that PAYPAL is the way to go!!!
