PLEASE
READ CAREFULLY: The assigned grade of this record reflects HOW IT
LOOKS, not how it SOUNDS. I REPEAT: ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY GRADED - I HAVE NOT PLAYED THEM. (In most cases, the two are pretty consistent, but there will be times when they aren't. There may be pops, clicks, and on very rare occasions skips that are not in evidence visually; I have even seen situations in which a record will skip on one turntable and not another, and I have seen BRAND NEW records that have various audible imperfections. I have also seen "beat" records that don't sound at all bad). In addition, VERY few records are TOTALLY FLAT. There is almost always some amount of variation to the level of the record's surface. Make sure you understand this. If you have ANY QUESTION about what this implies, contact me WELL BEFORE the auction ends.
A record will only be graded MINT
if
it is NEW/SEALED. Every record graded below MINT can POTENTIALLY have
some sort of visible defect when held under very bright light. "NEAR MINT" does not necessarily mean "brand new". The record may indeed appear as new with no visible
signs of use at all;
or there may be a VERY MINOR hard-to-see hairline-type mark or two
and/or
surface shadows from sliding against the paper sleeve. It could also
have a bit of faint residue from the acid in the paper sleeve, or possibly a tiny defect from the manufacturing process.
"EXCELLENT" records may have a few more
faint hairlines, paper slide shadows (scuffs), and/or residue, showing careful
handling during
it's life. A "VG+" record may have light marks that are a bit
heavier than
hairlines, typically not deep or feelable (although a stray faintly
feelable
mark is possible), with heavier shadows and scuffs, and a nice
gloss; still a nice record. "VG" records will have more numerous,
heavier marks, hairlines, and scuffs,
some possibly feelable with a fingernail; this grade is midway between
VERY nice and NOT very nice. A "VG-" record will have more feelable
scratch
marks or hairline "swirls", and will appear not to have received proper
care during it's
life. "G" records have not been well cared-for. Many scratches. As for covers, they will show increasing wear as they go down the scale. I will mention a particular defect only if it stands out or significantly contributes to the grade.
A note on feedback and your satisfaction: I do my very best to accurately represent the vinyl and cover. I believe the overwhelming number of Ebay buyers and sellers are honest to a fault - a very few are not, and will do and say anything to exploit the obvious exposures that are associated with internet sales. I've been on Ebay since 1989 and have seen it all, bad and good. I have THREE Ebay accounts, and combined feedbacks of 9000. If you have a LEGITIMATE concern, let me know; be fair with me and I will be fair with you. (But contacting me with a complaint that you hear a pop(s) or click(s) that were not described in the listing and then demanding money is NOT reasonable. THIS RECORD HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED BY ME, IT IS USED, I don't know it's history, and I am NOT making any statement about the sound of the record. This is identical to buying a record in a used record store. THE GRADE IS VISUAL ONLY!
Payment
is requested within 3 days unless combining, and I will combine for up
to 1 week....just let me know. If there has been no communication after 3
days, an unpaid item case will open automatically as a reminder.
International
shipping is via the new Ebay Global Shipping Program. The rate is in the shipping detail area. Ebay will provide
an invoice. If your country is not part of this program, 1st Class mail
is $20 (Canada $12), but a payment method OTHER THAN Paypal will be required. If using Paypal, it must ship Priority Mail insured at
cost of around $40 (Canada around $25). Please bid only if this is agreed/understood.
