My notice board / Informations diverses

Due to a ‘wave’ of non-paying bidders, we’re sadly forced to restrict bidding to just ONE item for all zero feedback members in an effort to put a limit into this ongoing abuse
In the event you’re a zero feedback member wishing to bid on several items, you need to email us first and request for an exception

Grading 
All records are originals except when noted. For grading purposes I use the British Record Collector's grading scale with occasionally (+) or (-) signs to denote the in-between conditions.

Generally speaking:
- a MINT (M) or NEAR MINT (M-) grade will give full satisfaction
- an EXCELLENT (EX) grade is always a shiny vinyl with possibly a faint mark or two, ONLY seen under a strong light and NOT affecting performance; in most cases NM and EX are pretty close) 
- a VG+ or even a VG (Very Good) grade is always a shiny vinyl with some very light surface marks & will give an enjoyable performance with no skips, pops or unpleasant surface noise.
- a GOOD grade is still a shiny vinyl with several light marks & will play with light surface noise & the occasional light pop
Same logic applies to the cover's grade.
I do not list records at an inferior grade unless they are extremely rare & sought after.

Payment
PAYPAL (invoice currency), UK Personal or Postal cheques & IMOs in £, are all accepted and goods shall be dispatched promptly at no extra charge

Feedback
A Positive feedback without a 5 star tick is as punitive as a Negative (simple as that) and I don’t mind what you do (it’s your business) as long as you know it
 
Packing
All records are securely packed & shipped in protective plastic sleeves out of their jackets & inners, to avoid seam splits in transit (no cost or time spared)

Termes et conditions de vente

Evaluation 
Tous les disques sont des éditions originales sauf si indiqué autrement. Nous utilisons l’échelle d’évaluation de ‘Record Collector’  et rajoutons occasionnellement des signes (+) ou (-) pour indiquer les états intermédiaires

En général:
- un état MINT (M) ou NEAR MINT (NM) est parfait ou presque parfait
- un état EXCELLENT (EX) est toujours un disque luisant et presque parfait à l’œil nue avec quelques très légers signes d’usure, uniquement visible sous forte luminosité et sans aucun effet sur la qualité sonore ; dans tous les cas, NM et EX sont proches
- un état  VG+ (Very Good+) ou même VG est toujours un disque luisant avec quelques légères rayures et par conséquence une légère diminution de la qualité sonore
- un état  Good+ correspond à un disque ayant plusieurs rayures légères et qui jouera avec un léger souffle, quelques crépitements et craquements mais sans sautements ou un souffle intense et déplaisant
Le même raisonnement s’applique a l’évaluation de la pochette du disque
Je ne vends pas de disques dans un état inferieur à moins qu’il s’agisse des disques extrêmement rares

Règlement
PAYPAL ou Virement Bancaire en £

Evaluation de profil
La fonction ‘Evaluation de profil’ sans vouloir être polémique nous importe peu et nous semble franchement dégradante (pour nous et pour vous), mais nous n’avons pas d’autre choix que de vivre avec. Utilisez-là d’une manière sensible s’il-vous plait

Emballage

Tous les disques sont soigneusement emballés dans des enveloppes en plastique et placés en dehors de leurs pochettes afin de préserver leurs tranches pendant le trajet
