All pictures shown (in picture gallery) are the actual cover, sleeves and vinyl record(s) you are purchasing.

NOTE: These albums were purchased by me and I have owned them since the 60's and 70's. The album covers were immediately put into protective plastic sleeves from the start which is why you'll see wear on the plastic sleeves and not on the covers. The records were ONLY played on a Bangs and Olufsen Beogram 3000 turntable w/elliptical diamond needle and always handled only by me and not my idiot friends (that why I still have them and in this condition)!

Vinyl Record Grades *

Mint / New / Sealed - Never played .  Still in original sealed plastic.

Near Mint- Record itself looks new, appears that it may never have been played.

EX Record itself looks very close to new.  May have very superficial imperfections (light smudging, seen under light angle reflection) not affecting the playing or sound of the record.

VG++   The record may show some slight signs of wear, light scuffs, light smudging, very light scratches, that will have very minor affects to the listening experience.  

VG+   The record will show some slight signs of wear, light scuffs, very light scratches, that may (will) affect the listening experience, especially at low volume times.  There will be no skips.  

VG    Will have obvious signs of wear, lack of original gloss.  Light scratches that will be audible.  Does not skip on my system.

G / Good - Will have scratches or defects that are audible.  Records may be warped.  There could be skipping and /or loud pops.     

___________________________________

All attempts will be made to list other imperfections of the cover such as liquid damage, split seams, tears. missing pieces or other damage in the description.

*I may not have listened to all records lately, many records are graded visually, under bright angled light, don’t hesitate to ask any questions on the grades of vinyl before purchase.

Payment due immediately at the end of auction or upon invoice.**  

** Of course I don’t expect everyone to be able to pay “immediately” but please make every attempt to pay within a day or two.

AS IN ALL CASES communication is the answer to most problems, you will find that I am very easy to work with….so just ask.  

FEEDBACK is normally given after you have received your item and I know that you don’t have any concerns that need to be addressed.

I accept Paypal only.

Shipping

Shipping to US only. I have had too many winning bidders back out once they find out what International shipping costs are. Those costs are beyond my control.

I offer combined shipping so let me know after the auctions close if you won multiple items. I will send you an invoice with the combined shipping costs.

SHIPPING

US Buyers - $4 for the first LP.  $1 for each additional. Shipping via USPS media mail with delivery confirmation.

PACKAGING:  I ship all LPs in boxes designed specifically for the purpose.  When shipping a single LP, I also include a cardboard filler to thicken the package.  I always ship the LP outside of the sleeve, with vinyl and sleeve inside of an outer plastic sleeve.  When shipping more than one LP, additional cardboard may not be used if the package is thick enough.  This is pretty well the best that anyone can do in packing an LP record for shipping.  That said, buyers should realize that how the package is handled by the USPS or other postal services around the world is out of the seller's control and very occasionally, records can be damaged in shipping, no matter how well a record is packaged. 

I ALWAYS do my very best to send out all items at 11 am EST on the next open post office day after item is paid and I accomplish this almost 100% of the time!!   At the very least I check for paid items at 6:30 am EST every morning (if not 5 minutes before I leave for Post Office).  

As you can read in feedback, I am very fast in all my shipping and my packing is secure and safe.
