PLEASE READ ALL INFO BELOW ON GRADING, TERMS AND BASIC AUCTION DETAILS
MY LPS
With few exceptions, all the LPs I am offering come from my personal collection. They have all received excellent care while in my possession both on the turntables/cartridges used and in storage, most having polylined inner sleeves and plastic outer covers. That doesn't mean they are all perfect as sometimes I wanted albums for a low price, experimentation or easy playing so a decent copy is all I wanted. In other cases I really wanted as close to new as possible.
GRADING
Grading is subjective. I will do my best to be accurate as I want buyers to be satisfied. I am cleaning all the LPs then both visually and play grading. Sometimes LPs really are near mint but still have pops or noise due to the PRESSING itself or the original material (as in 1930's jazz recordings). I will attempt to describe such as I will listen to one full cut from each LP. I use only the categories VG and NM along with a plus or a minus.
NM - Jacket tight, no splits, tears, writing, discoloration, etc. Vinyl - Shiny, clear of most any surface scratches, sounds excellent with no or few pops, scratches except those that perhaps can be heard between cuts or in the quietest of passages. As noted above if I consider the noise to be part of the PRESSING while the vinyl looks pristine, I will mention that.
VG - Jacket generally tight, will exhibit shelf wear, small splits or tears, etc. Vinyl - Sound is excellent but has extra pops or noise from being played or perhaps a slight warp that does not inhibit normal play. Anything below this will not be offered.
+(-) will be used at my discretion to help further grade the jackets and vinyls. For example, VG++ might be used where I just can't quite give it a NM status but it's closer to NM than to VG. I'll do my best but no doubt not everybody is going to see eye to eye with me on every LP. You'll have to have a little faith here but I do want to maintain my good rating at Ebay so I have an incentive not to over grade. If I do, you may buy once but not again.
STANDARD DETAILS
- All LPs manually cleaned on my Spin Clean set up - All LPs visually and play graded (I listen to one complete cut per LP, usually 1st cut, Side A unless I see an issue elsewhere) - All LPs come with paper inner sleeve, most with polylined paper sleeve and plastic cover for jacket (unless otherwise noted) - All LPs shipped in cardboard LP mailers. I do NOT make money on shipping. Minimum media mail postage is $2.85. I add the cost of the mailers and packaging. That's it. I don't understand how some people expect shipping to be lower than seller cost. - Returns are NOT accepted unless I've really screwed up. I am as straightforward in my descriptions as possible.
