Thanks for looking at our auction.  Please read the following before bidding:

ITEM CONDITION

2) Most products have a small imperfection. It is because of this minor imperfection that we are able to offer our items at a lower price than you can find most other places. These imperfections include.a small hole or scratch through the UPC, a small hole in the item spine, or a cut (often referred to a "cut-out") in the case.  If this matters to you, please be sure to ask before you bid. 
3) ALL of our LP sets have a scratch through the UPC. In 90% of the cases there is some minor damage to the LP cover because of this scratch. If this matters to you and you would like to know more about the scratch, please be sure to ask before you bid.

4) Please note that shipping costs for the more expensive items are a bit higher as we will include ShipCover insurance for most items (or shipments) over $39 and require a signature confirmation for most items (or shipments) over $49.  This is to protect you and us against any loss or damage to an item while in transit.

RETURNS
1) We do accept returns, but only if the item is unopened. That means that the original shrink-wrap must still be sealed on the item to be eligible for return.
2) We have sold 1000s of items with the imperfections mentioned above, and we have yet to see one that hurts the media in any way.  If the media is damaged by this scratch, you are able to return the item for a full refund, even if the item is open.
