I use new cardboard boxes and new corrugated pads. I will provide combined shipping on multiple wins. Every record after additional win will be $ .50 cents extra. I do sell international, but international shipping is considerably more expensive than domestic. Please WAIT for an invoice from me before you send payment. The sale price may not reflect added S&H for multiple items, etc. If you would like shipping other than media, please notify my at time of win and I will be happy to accommodate. I DO NOT clean records that I sell here. Each buyer has their own way of cleaning records and I leave it up to the customer to do so. I generally only visually grade records, I deal in such high volume that I don't have time to listen to every record. I Use VJM Record Grading System: N (78) M (LP). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed) .N- (78) M- (LP). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage .E+ (78) VG+ (LP). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets. E (78) VG (LP). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches .E- (78) VG- (LP). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves. V+ (78) G+ LP. V+ is an average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced. LP: Below average with scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat grooves. V (78) G (LP). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive. V- (78) G- (LP). Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. LP: Lowest Grade. Audible scratches, etc. on more than half the tracks. Listening uncomfortable. G+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise .G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scatch damage extensive.F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable. P (78). Unplayable.
