DISCLAIMER: 

We strive to provide accurate descriptions, detailed photographs, and exceptional customer service. However, due to the unique nature of vinyl records and their sensitivity to handling and environmental conditions, we have implemented the following "No Return" policy to ensure a fair and transparent transaction for both the buyer and seller.

1. Condition Disclosure

We make every effort to accurately describe the condition of each vinyl record listed for sale. Additional details, such as any visible flaws, scratches, or imperfections, will be clearly stated in the product description. We highly recommend reviewing the grading guide below before making a purchase:

Grading Guide (Discogs)

MMint (M): Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all. Applys to New/ Sealed media.NM or M-Near Mint (NM or M-): A nearly perfect record. A NM or M- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.VG+/EXVery Good Plus, Excellent (VG+/EX): Record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner.VGVery Good (VG): Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time.G, G+Good or Good Plus (G/G+): A record can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.F, PFair, or Poor (F/P): The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon.GenericGeneric: refers to a type of sleeve that is not specific to the release. Either a plain sleeve or a company sleeve with standard company artwork. A sleeve that is graded as "generic" needs no further grading, as a generic sleeve generally adds little value to the item and can be easily replaced.**Before shipment, if records are used, both record and jacket will either be ultrasonic cleaned or cleaned by hand. Within listing images, inner sleeves may depict slight damage, or discoloration due to general wear or age respectively. If you would like to add or replace inner sleeves, there would be an additional charge of .10 USD per record. If you would like to add protective outer sleeves, there would be an additional charge of .50 USD per media. **

4. No Refunds or Returns
