CUSTOMS:

Inform yourself about custom fees in your country. 

If you are not in the EU then it is possible that you need to pay custom fees for importing goods from the EU. Also the UK is asking custom fees since Brexit. 


SHIPPING FEES

(Incl. Track & Trace)

The record will be shipped insured on my account. I never adjust the price of the record because of custom fees.  

With buying our records you are agreeing with the shipping fees as listed below:

When you want to know a shipping fee for a certain weight, or amount of records, or a certain country, please mail me. 

If you bought several items.

I will adjust the invoice to combined shipping fees after you finished your bidding. Please, wait for my invoice so you don't pay too many shipping fees. Wait for my invoice to have the correct shipping fee. The Ebay invoice system does not automatically fill in the correct postal costs for all countries. So, if your shipping fee doesn't look right, wait for my invoice.

GRADING

Please, read them!

 

When there are specific imperfections on a record I will mention them together with the grading. 


Mint 

Record: only when the record is sealed


NM 

Record: the vinyl is shiny and looks almost ad new. A few minor flaws are possible, nothing more. 

Sound: plays clean, maybe a minor sound can be heard, that's all. 

Cover: as new.  


EX or VG+ 

Record: the vinyl still looks shiny and clearly has only been played a few times or handled with great care. A few light scuffs and/or a few small hairlines, nothing more. 

Sound: plays clean with occasionally a small tick and/or a short, soft sound, nothing more. 

Cover: as new with minimal wear

 

VG

Record: there are some hairlines and/or some soft surface marks or swipes visible over the surface. 

Sound: still sounds very good with now and then 1 or 2 light ticks and/ or now and then a soft surface noise. Nothing that is infecting playback.

Cover: still very good with some wear => See photos. 

 

G                                  

Record: you can see many hairlines and small scuffs across the surface

Sound: is still good with sometimes a mild surface noise and/or some short patches of minor, sometimes, mediocre ticking with maybe a plop here or there. Overall, the sound is still dominating these imperfections.

Cover: there is some wear on corners, edges and/or spine. There can be some small splits (max 0,50 cm) next to the inlet. There is some surface-wear like ring-wear or maybe some discolorations.

 

Fair: only when the record is a very rare one

Record: is not really 100 % shiny anymore. There are lines, scuffs and/or swipes across the surface.

Sound: there is a moderate surface noise, throughout or intermittent, and/or some patches with serious ticks and/or plops. The record doesn't skip. Hear-play is infected in some zones, but the record is still fine for general listening, nothing more.

Cover: there is real wear on corners, edges and spine. There are splits in the seams, serious ring-wear, or surface-wear. Look at the photo to have a better idea of the condition.

Returns are only accepted in the event of an error in the description or an error by the seller.
