"Awesome service Great selection and prices. Awesome job guys Thanks!!!"

 

"This seller communicates better than any of the sellers that I have dealt with while purchasing approximately 200 records. Replies to questions are prompt and thorough and descriptions of items sold are extremely accurate. I would not hesitate to do business with this seller in the future."

BONUS - We have a friend who works inside the US post office. They take good care of our packages and get them to the right bin/truck for the most rapid mailing possible. If they are not working that day, the package may not be scanned until it gets to LA or San Diego.

 

ABOUT US - We have been collecting albums since the 70's and love music. Much of what we are currently selling comes from our own meticulously curated collection. We have decades of customers service, successfully sold in person, on-line and were/are planning on opening a shop in Carlsbad Village CA. This crazy virus extended those plans.

 

Slowly but surely, we are building a website which will be available soon.

 

We are excited to be now selling on eBay.

GRADING (Goldmine Grading for Records) DESCRIPTIONS 

MINT (M): Perfect! This record looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws what so ever. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains. No stickers or writing address labels. COVER: No writing, no tears or seam splits. No wear to the cover or record period! Age of the record has nothing to do with it. 

NEAR MINT or (NM), (M-): RECORD: Record appears virtually flawless. A very minor scuff and very little else appears on the vinyl. It should play without any noise over the flaw. The flaw is very hard to see. COVER: The cover looks as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork is as close to perfect as can be. 

VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS or EXCELLENT (VG++) or (EX): RECORD: Will have minor scuffs which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs and NO scratches. COVER: Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits, writing on the cover or taped repairs. 

VERY GOOD PLUS or (VG+): RECORD: A VG+ record shows some wear and surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. Visible flaws don't cause too much surface noise. COVER: A virtually clean cover, but may have small writing on it. The artwork looks clean with slightly more aging. Flat white paper will be somewhat yellow, but no large stains or mildew from water damage. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no significant tears or holes popping through. The corners will be slightly dog eared, but no crackly bends, defacing the artwork.

VERY GOOD or (VG): RECORD: A record that is good enough. They are not really going to look very good, but will PLAY very good. There will almost always be some surface noise when they are played. The Dynamics should still be excellent, overpowering the surface noise. A VG record will look like it has been played, but still have some luster. COVER: VG covers will look worn, used. There may be some seam splitting. There may be some ring wear, where the ink has begun to wear off, giving the cover a look of snow falling. There may be some writing on the cover, item description will address these issues. It will look aged and more yellowish due to contamination's in the air (sometimes looking like cigarette smoke), but should be decent.
