Hi everyone,

My name is Paula. I’m Colombian but lived in NYC for 15 years. Most of my listings are vinyl records from my father’s lifetime collection—some pieces dating back to 1960—that I inherited when he passed away a few years ago. In honor of his passion, I’m selling some of these records and a few vintage items he dearly treasured.

 

As a music editor, I assure you these items will be handled with the utmost care and love. While this eBay account is new, I’m an experienced eBay seller. Unfortunately, I couldn’t keep my old US eBay account when I moved here due to IP address restrictions.

 

Shipping:

 Orders ship M-F within 1-3 business days after payment is received. Currently, I use FedEx and DHL for international shipping from Colombia. You will receive a tracking number, and your item should arrive within 3 to 12 business days, depending on your location.

 

International Buyers –Please Note:

 Import duties, taxes, and fees are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These fees are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine these additional charges before bidding or purchasing.

 

I ship LPs in cardboard boxes, included in the shipping price. I am happy to combine shipping; please contact me in advance for specific pricing.

 

Return Policy:

 Due to my location, I only offer a free return policy for purchases within the US. If you are not satisfied with my description or have a problem within 10 days of receiving your item, I will guide you through a no-hassle return process to a US address.

 For purchases from other locations, returns must be covered and paid for by both parties by agreement.If you are located outside the US or Colombia, please contact me for more information, additional pictures, or videos to prevent a future return.

 


Grading:

When my father passed, I hired and expert to clean up and price the entire collection.

I’ll try to give you the best description possible on every item, I’ll even provide HD videos.

I used the Goldmine Standard for grading the condition of every record listed here.  

See description below:

 

Mint (M)

Vinyl

Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all. 

 

Near Mint(NM or M-)

Vinyl

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) thatno record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs ofwear. 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 sameshould be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. 

 

Very Good Plus (VG+)

Vinyl

Generally worth 50% of the Near Mint value. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good careof 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. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. 

 

 

Very Good(VG)

Vinyl

Generally worth 25% of Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. 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 withlight 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 theirresidue) 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. Goldmineprice guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowes tprice. 

 

 

Good (G),Good Plus (G+)

Vinyl

Generally worth 10-15% of the Near Mint value. A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seamsplits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, orother defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback. 

 

 

Poor (P),Fair (F)

Vinyl

Generally worth 0-5% of the Near Mint price. 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. TheLP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully split,crinkled, and written upon.
