I will always combine postage costs for multiple items. Postage cost for each extra item is 30p for 7” and 90p for 12”, subject to size and weight.
International combined postage is not possible.
If you have bid for more than one record, do not pay immediately. Just let me know when you are finished and I will raise an Ebay invoice for all of the items you have won with a reduced postage cost for one simple payment.

GRADING
If there is a grading specified in the description, it will usually apply to the record. For individual sleeve, inlay and record gradings please refer to the item specifics.
All gradings are based on the following:
1. MINT (M) An LP in ‘mint’ or M condition is considered to be perfect. It means that it is usually sealed and has never been played.
The record is in brand new condition without any surface marks There is no deterioration of sound quality Cover and additional items such as booklet, lyric sheet, and poster are in excellent condition If a record is advertised to be Unplayed or Sealed, it should be taken to be in Mint condition. It is sporadic to come across records which are in this condition. It is agreed upon only when multiple individuals agree that the record is in such state.
2. NEAR MINT (NM) The record in ‘near mint’ or NM condition has been played no more than a few times. It appears glossy and has remained on a shelf between other vinyl.
Such records don’t have any marks The package is complete It looks just like it is from a store and you are opening it for the first time Interestingly, many sellers will not use a higher grade than NM. Most often, NM is the highest grading found with most records. It is occasional to come across an authentic Mint graded vinyl. So if you are looking for the perfect LP, you should search for Near Mint records. They are shiny and don’t have any visible defects. There is no writing, markings, or stickers on the label. They don’t have any ring wear, creases, and seam splits. Besides, they are free from any spindle marks.
Spindle marks appear when the user tries to place the record blindly on the player. NM records are also free from any factory defects. If a record has been pressed off-centre, it cannot have NM grade. When played, it shouldn’t have any surface noise.
At the same time, of course, keep in mind that an NM record doesn’t always mean that it should have never played before. A vinyl that usually plays on a great record player can still be Near Mint after several plays also.
3. EXCELLENT (EX) It is almost Near Mint, but you can tolerate very slight marks at the point where the record has been in and out of the sleeve. There can be very tiny signs that show a very light use of the vinyl. There is extremely low lessening in terms of audio quality. We can refer to it as ‘E’.
4. VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) The key features here include the following:
Few additional faults are acceptable in VG+ No-fault is accepted that can compromise on the record both audibly and visually There can be light and inaudible marks There can be little rub
5. VERY GOOD (VG) A vinyl that has ‘very good’ or VG grade means that it has seen some use and is usable.
There can be light clicks and pops Also, there can be light visible scratches It may also have an edge split Record is both audibly and visually used You can find it interesting to look at and also it is good to listen to There is no significant deterioration in audio quality. There can be noticeable surface marks. The cover and other items can also have normal wear and tear.
6-7. GOOD (G) / GOOD PLUS (G+) A vinyl record in ‘Good’ or G condition means that it has been played extensively. You should expect the following from it:
Audio quality has significantly deteriorated There can be mild scratches and audio distortion The cover and other items have suffered edge scuffing, folding, discoloration or spine splits.
8. FAIR (F) A record in ‘fair’ condition means that it is still in just playable condition.
The vinyl has not properly been cared for There is significant surface noise It can also jump Cover and other items can be stained, torn, or defaced
9. WORN (W) A vinyl graded ‘bad’ will be unplayable. It may even be broken. It is of no more value than being collection-filler.
Many Thanks for your interest in my listing.
