COMMENTS AND TERMS

Occasionally a record will look beautiful but it is a dog when played. I can’t play every record and sometimes I do miss something in my visual comments. On the other hand the universally-accepted record grading system is comically flawed and leaves much to subjective interpretation. Since I sell mostly records from the ’60s and ‘70s (and to some degree from the ‘80s), I am dealing in records that are 40 to 50 years, with an unknown history of care. It is amazing how well many of these records sound today with the way they were taken care of but there is no way I can guarantee that my subjective grading will agree with yours! Since it is so ‘flaky’, don’t have a cow if we disagree.

I have outstanding feedback and that is not by chance. If you read my feedback, the repetitive themes are outstanding customer service, honest communication, and equitable resolution of issues.

One of my biggest gripes is eBay’s feedback. eBay has set up a very elaborate feedback system but unfortunately, eBay has not set out the parameters for giving feedback or DSR ratings. Each buyer just does whatever he/she wants and this leads to chaos but yet eBay uses feedback as its barometer on determining each seller’s future. This reduces some sellers to begging to do anything to avoid low marks and further empowers buyers to extract as much’s they can get from groveling sellers who seem terrified of a negative or a 1 or 2. Without eBay parameters on what constitutes successful seller performance, feedback means very little. 

The SUBJECTIVE GRADING I use is:

SS = "Still Sealed" (brand new, unplayed) NM = "Near Mint" (close to mint, play wear and use more evident) EX = "Excellent" (Nice shiny gloss, only a few hairlines may be present) VG+ = "Very Good Plus" (slightly above average, plays great with a few marks) VG = "Very Good" (about average, possibly some cosmetic damage) VG- - "Very Good Minus" (slightly below average) G+ - "Good Plus" (scratches and other visible marks and wear) F = "Fair" (adequate, will probably play, but looks rough, occasional skipping a possibility) P = "Poor" (in bad shape, may play, but more than likely will skip or be noisy. I don't bother listing "P" records normally, unless they are highly collectible and can still be used for framing, etc)  

Please review all pictures before buying. We also try to ship our products in used boxes to help the environment.

Please know that your positive feedback and 5 star ratings on eBay are appreciated, vital, and very valuable to OUR continued success ON EBAY.

When we receive the cleared payment from you, we will leave you a positive feedback rating on eBay.

If you need your item fast, please select PayPal without using eCheck (please note that eChecks via PayPal take additional time to clear). To keep our prices low for all of our customers, we do have to take a few steps to reduce fraud (as the cost of fraud has to be added into our prices). Because of this, we reserve the right to refund rather than ship certain orders for reasons including feedback scores and/or lack of a confirmed address via PayPal.

IF YOU FEEL YOU CAN'T WAIT THE EXTRA COUPLE DAYS PLEASE ASK US TO QUOTE YOU A PRIORITY OR EXPRESS RATE.
