Sales Conditions:

 

Payment:
I will send you an invoice within two days after the auction has closed, and I expect your payment (or at least a response) within one week of invoicing.

Grading:

NM: Like new EX: Excellent (Some light cosmetic signs of use like rubs and scuffs; no greying) VG: Very good (More pronounced signs of use than EX, and a few light grey lines should be expected) G: Good (Obviously worn with noticeable greying; no blasting unless mentioned)

Any distinct flaws such as scratches, marks, digs, or needle runs are not part of the overall grading and will be described separately.

Despite all care, I may miss something in the grading. I therefore offer a full money back guarantee. For expensive records, I will request that you return the defective record, but please contact me about the problem before you return the record.

 

Postage and packing (approximate rates):

0.0 - 2 kilo (5 12" or 7 10" 78 rpm): $17 without tracking, $25 with with tracking. Tracking is required for all orders having a value above $30. 2.0 - 5.0 kilo (10-12 12" 78 rpm): $55 - 60 Europe, $92 Outside Europe (both with tracking)

I charge the actual amount I have to pay for shipping plus approximately $3 for packing material (I use new, very strong cardboard wrappers or boxes as appropriate). The postage rates are changing quite often, and the dollar exchange rate is also rather unstable, so the rates shown above are approximate.

 

Insurance:
Boxes above 2 kilos are sent at parcel rate and are automatically insured. 2 kilo packages are as a standard sent with tracking at letter rate (airmail). Packages below 2 kilos are as a standard sent without tracking, but you can request tracking at an extra cost of $8. 

Stockpiling of records:
I have started to sell my collection. There are thousands of records which will be listed in small batches in due course (every 3 or 4 weeks). I will be happy to stockpile paid records in order to make postage more economical.
