MINT: The Record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or
deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as a

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is
very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might

but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable
surface marks and an occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on

GOOD: The record has been
played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps
with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer

considerable noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be

All the Vinyl’s are removed from their original covers and placed behind
them for extra protection. They are then placed into a polythene sleeve
for extra safety and water resistance and then secured with a card
stiffener. I use Heavy Duty Mailers Specifically Designed for Vinyl
Albums, which provide excellent security and protection, and I use the
appropriate 'Fragile' stickers. Packing
& postage prices are NOT negotiable on items dispatched individually
or separately. However, if you are a similar time multiple buyer where
all items purchased are being sent to the same address and they can be
combined safely, you can ask for a discounted quotation before bidding. I
will always try to be fair with buyers on p&p costs but if you do
not want to pay the prices on the listings or quotations please do not
bid. I always keep proof of posting but unless you pay for Recorded
Delivery, International Signed For, Special Delivery or Full Insurance I
may not be able to assist you with recovery of the item or any of the
costs.
