US pressing on Melodiya/Seraphim

Catalog #: SIC-6035

Box: VG++

Records: NM-

I do my best to grade conservatively. I'd much rather have a happily surprised customer than a disappointed one. We all know that better grades get more money but it's more important to recognize that poorly graded records get negatives. In order to avoid inaccurately grading my records I adhere to the Goldmine grading system. You won't see more than one "+" from me unless I can justify its inclusion.

SS/Still Sealed: The record is still sealed! Imperfections in shrink wrap will be noted along with any other condition issues.

Near Mint/NM: These records have a few minor imperfections, but not anything that would affect play. For the record it's very light paper scuffs that can't be heard and aren't visually distracting. For the cover it can be very faint ring-wear and a bumped corner.

Very Good Plus/VG+: The record can have light paper scuffs and light scratches that DO NOT affect play. Low surface noise during play through dead wax is acceptable, but only at volumes significantly lower than the music. For the cover there will be light wear from storage that does not affect the beauty of the artwork. This includes bumped corners, light ring-wear and light scuffs.

Very Good/VG: These records have noticeable signs of handling and play. The record will have lost much of its luster and have light surface scratches that may affect play. The cover will have noticeable ring-wear, bumped corners and the beginning of a split seam. These records are still enjoyable.

If you would like a more detailed description of an item's condition please ask. All records are visually graded and some are audibly graded as well. If you would like me to audibly grade a record for you, please ask!

International Buyers Please Note: Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

Shipping

Domestic Shipping: for the first record is $5.00 for Media Mail and includes delivery confirmation. Additional records cost $0.00. I ship my records in the industry standard LP mailer. Both the record and sleeve are placed in a plastic sleeve that is then sealed to avoid shifting. Extra cardboard inserts sandwich the record for rigidity. In my experience, bubble wrap is inadequate for records while cardboard inserts protect the record from improper handling.

Returns: accepted within 30 days of delivery as long as the item is in the condition it was sent.

If you have any special requests please let me know!

International Shipping: is handled through eBay Standard International Delivery. Price is calculated based on weight and location.
