IMPORTANT: A bid is a binding contract. I will not cancel transactions upon request, but will open an Unpaid Item Case against any non-paying buyers. A sincere thank you to all the responsible bidders out there! 

Due to unreasonable international shipping prices on items of this size,  this will not be mailed with the frame to anywhere outside of the United States,  but will instead be mailed with the LP + COA  only. Please contact me beforehand if you have any issues with this and we can work out the shipping amount prior to the end of the auction. Thank you!

IMPORTANT RECORD BUSINESS!!

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.

IMPORTANT: If we happen to disagree and on any grading, please do not be rude about it and please do not ask for a partial refund AND to keep the record. It's simple, if you do not want to keep the record then just return it for a full refund. I will happily pay for return shipping if I am the one at fault. I do my best to grade albums by inspecting them and listening to them. Again, this system is not error-proof because the grading parameters are not concrete....so PLEASE, be patient and kind and I will do my best to earn your stisfaction if it wasn't already earned by receiving the item.

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" NM = "Near Mint" VG++/ EX = "Excellent" VG+ = "Very Good Plus" VG = "Very Good" VG- - "Very Good Minus" G+ - "Good Plus" F = "Fair" P = "Poor"

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.
