Hello my fellow music lover,
Dougal here, and I bid you welcome to only_vinyl. My aim is to provide you, the customer, with a store that they know can be trusted to provide them with an enjoyable and stress free shopping experience. Safe in the knowledge that they are receiving completely honest descriptions & gradings, on an ever expanding array of eclectic genres, artists and titles. All with the comfort of knowing they are protected from any potential problems or issues by our 100% Money Back Guarantee, which includes the costs of return postage.
I am the joint custodian of a storage facility, which currently houses a conservatively estimated 50,000 + albums, all which have been accumulated/hoarded/collected over the last 35 years. Obviously it's going to take me an eternity to get them all listed here, but believe me when I say it will be worth the wait. There will eventually be something available to suit everyone's taste, so please save me to your favourite sellers list, and keep an eye on the store because you just never know what will become available each day.    Every 3 months (or so), I will have 4 or 5 boxes of albums delivered to me. Sometimes they will be 'cherry picked' items, and other times it will be a random assortment. My job is to identify and catalogue, clean, grade and then list each album. After bearing witness to the appalling lack of information provided by a high percentage of sellers on this site, I want to provide the record buying public a place where they can be confident that they will in fact be receiving a copy of the pressing which was advertised. I use a combination of over 40 different web sites to ensure the the information I supply in the listing is as accurate as possible. I will always make every effort to ensure that the information I supply for each listing is 100% correct. Mistakes can and will happen, so please forgive any incorrect details. I do perform my due diligence, I ask that you please do the same.
Grading: Please be aware that my gradings are a visual inspection only and I'm providing a personal appraisal only. I am a very pedantic man by nature and I do not deal in bullshit or lies. I will always assess/grade the vinyl, sleeve and labels honestly, and from a buyers perspective. My appraisals will highlight any issues or flaws. I will call it as I see it, but I will always err on the side of caution. If I have any concern about the playing surface at all, the album will be play tested before being advertised on the site. I will earn your trust over time and allow you to buy with confidence. The last thing I need to be doing is spending my time dealing with unhappy customers wanting returns because of poorly graded albums. A good reputation takes a lifetime to build and a mere 5 minutes to destroy
Determining Price/Value: Current market trends, sales history of album/pressing, condition of item and availability within the market place, are all factors which are considered prior to pricing every album. My aim is to have every single album priced competitively within the marketplace, so please keep us in mind for a price comparison while you're shopping.  The aim of this venture is to find homes for all these albums, so I won't waste my time or yours with any intentional misleading information. Please use the supplied photos to make an informed opinion for yourself.  If you require better photos or have questions or doubts, please message me! I operate with 100% transparency, and 100% truth!  Your enquiries, comments or offers are welcome at any time.
Cleaning & Packaging: Each and every album is hand cleaned prior to being graded and photographed. It's then placed in it's inner sleeve and the album in a new outer protective sleeve and is stored upright until purchased. Once sold, the album will be cleaned with a Pro-Ject VC-S Record Cleaning Machine. Only after sufficient drying time will your album then be packaged. The vinyl will be removed from the cover (and any paper inner sleeves if present) and be housed in a brand new polyethylene 35UM inner sleeve. The cover and vinyl are then placed into a brand new Low-density 55UM polyethylene outer sleeve separately, along with cardboard stiffeners. I then double wrap this package with bubble wrap and it's placed into a purpose built record mailer. I ensure that the wrapped album fits tightly inside the mailer, with no chance of shifting during the delivery process. If required I'll always add extra card into the mailer until I'm 100% satisfied that the album will not move. Any extra postage charges due to this additional weight are always covered by only_vinyl
For our customers protection, we offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee with every album sold here at only_vinyl.  We even cover the cost of your return postage. So once your package is delivered and you have a chance to inspect your goods, If you are not satisfied with your purchase, just send me a message through eBay within 30 days of receipt of your goods, and clearly provide me with details of the problem. I will send you money through PayPal to cover the cost of the return postage to me. When the album arrives back to me, I will make a full refund of the purchase price into your nominated PayPal account. We would like our customers to have the peace of mind to know that because they chose only_vinyl, even when an issue or problem does occur, it will be a hassle free experience.
PLEASE REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING:
My aim is to find new homes for these albums. I'm not here to haggle for that extra dollar. Every single listing with the 'make an offer' option, is open to negotiation. All you need do is make me a fair and reasonable offer and nine times out of ten you'll have that album as your own.
Read each listing in it's entirety. I attempt to provide a detailed description of each album, which includes the full disclosure of all the negative aspects. 
I will not deliberately list any album who's condition is so poor that I would not purchase it myself.
If you find a better price elsewhere for any album I have listed, as long as that album is in comparative condition to mine, I will beat that price every single time.

AUSTRALIAN BUYERS - ALL LISTED PRICES INCLUDE "AUSTRALIA POST, PARCEL POST SERVICE" (WITH TRACKING) TO ANY ADDRESS WITHIN AUSTRALIA.  THE SIGNATURE UPON DELIVERY IS ALSO AVAILABLE FOR AN ADDITIONAL $3 FEE.  PLEASE ADVISE ME IF YOU WISH TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS THIS OPTION.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS ARE MOST WELCOME - OFFICIAL AUSTRALIA POST RATES WILL BE CHARGED. PLEASE CHECK THE 'POSTAGE AND PAYMENTS' TAB ON EACH LISTING FOR THE SHIPMENT PRICE TO YOUR COUNTRY.
DISCOUNTS WILL APPLY FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES IN THE SAME TRANSACTION.  JUST MESSAGE ME FOR A PRICE PRIOR TO PLACING YOUR ORDER.
The worst case scenario is that all orders will be packaged on Friday evenings, ready to be posted on Saturday morning. Once your item has been posted I will contact you through the eBay messaging service and provide you with your tracking details. So far, I've been managing to get all items posted either the same or next day. That won't last for ever.
Please remember to provide feedback at the completion of your transaction, as this site will not survive without recognition of the quality service we attempt to provide. 
I would like to thank those customers who have already taken the time to provide feedback for us. Your praise is providing confidence for others to trust us and to trade with us. I truly appreciate your having done so.
Thanks for looking and please message me if you have any questions.
Cheers, Doogs
